Interpersonal differences abound in the workplace. Reaping the benefits of organizational diversity requires understanding and appreciating one another's different backgrounds, worldviews, perspectives, and viewpoints. However, the innate ease and preference associated with interacting with similar others makes relating across differences challenging in a number of ways. The five papers in this symposium provide cutting-edge insights into breakdowns in understanding that can occur across interpersonal differences in organizations, including both the emotional and cognitive processes underlying these breakdowns, as well as potential tools to prevent and repair them.
