Synopsis

The purposes of this study were to identify and to compare learning style and personality type profiles of hospitality undergraduate students in Taiwan and the United States. This was the first investigation of Taiwanese hospitality students involving their distributions of learning style and personality type profiles. 497 Taiwanese students and 294 American students completed the questionnaire, which included demographic information, Learning Style Inventory, and Personal Style Inventory. The author is especially indebted to his advisors Dr. Chih-Kang ?Kenny? Wu and Dr. Ginny Felstehausen for their understanding and support. He thanks Dr. Betty L. Stout for giving him superior advice regarding his writing and also thanks Dr. Yung-Mei Tsai for giving him recommendations regarding the instruments and educational information. The author has been fortunate to have had support and assistance from a number of people of immense heart, talent and friendship. He gives his special thanks to his friends, colleagues, parents, and family, especially his daughters, Emily and Allie, his son, Allen, , and wife, Hui-Hui, who supported and encouraged him through his research.
