Andreas Eppink is a Dutch entrepreneur, organizational consultant and independent scientific researcher, living in Spain since 1995. He was born on 9 August 1946 in Gendringen, The Netherlands. He established himself as an independent entrepreneur in Amsterdam (1972) and subsequently in Hilversum (1984-1999).Curriculum Vitae

Education[edit]

Eppink studied at the gymnasium of the Canisius College in Nijmegen, and at the Dutch universities of Amsterdam and Leyden, and in Munster (Germany) and Cairo (Egypt, American University) and did internships in Málaga, Morocco and Athens. He graduated in Andragology (1968), Work and Organization Psychology and Cultural Anthropology (1972), and once more in Clinical Psychology (1978) after his PhD dissertation Amsterdam University, 1977).[1]
As to his different definitions of culture, the next definition is one of the most cited in Malaysia and Indonesia: Culture covers the understanding of the whole of a society's social values, standards and overall knowledge of social structures, religious expressions and so on, including all the intellectual and artistic expressions that characterize a society.

(Big) Data and Test Development[edit]

In 1972 Mr. Eppink et al. conducted a secondary analysis of the answers to the latest Dutch census[2] of 43,455 foreign workers from the Mediterranean area. On basis of parameters, the conclusion was that the general expectation that foreign employees return to their country after five years' residence was unfounded, despite the fact that the vast majority of these people answered affirmative to these questions.[3]

Similar kind of problems when interpretating research data acquired through interviews and questionnaires may also arise in test research, psychological and medical diagnosis, as well as in the courtroom, due to cultural differences in communication. See Cross-cultural applicability of psychological tests.[4]

Career[edit]

As a working university student, he was an interviewer at NIPO (Dutch Institute for Public Opinion), NISSO (Dutch Institute for Social and Sexual Research), and in some product-testing agencies.
He established himself as independent psychologist and trainer in professional interview techniques in Amsterdam (1972-1978) and subsequently as consultant in Hilversum for recruitment, assessment, outplacement and teambuilding (1985-1999).
Eppink was founder and head of the Averroés Foundation for Cross-Cultural Research (Amsterdam, 1978-1985).

Activities in the Field of Migration and Intercultural Communication[edit]

Referring to the conducted secondary analysis in 1972, Mr. Eppink predicted immigration instead of temporary residence, with family reunification and psycho-social problems in the future, and advocated research and adapted policy.[5] To that end he founded of the Averroés Stichting (Foundation for Cross-Cultural Research).[6] He managed the foundation's action researches sponsored by the Kids' Stamps Foundation.
In an interview 1977, he expressed his concerns regarding the difficult integration process of non-Western residents in European countries.[7] In the same year, after the Dutch government officially accepted that immigration was a fact, the Foundation became an institute and endowed with both state funds and the Town of Amsterdam. The Foundation existed 30 years, until 2010.[8]

Dr. A. Eppink headed the Dutch delegation at the United Nations. Eight members, including Dr. A. Eppink, Mr. H.B. Entzinger[9], Deputy Inspector for Education of Migrant Children.[10] in the capacity of expert in the field of migration and associated psycho-social problems[11] and contributed to concerted action in steering committees in Strasbourg (Council of Europe) and Brussels (CEE).

His book Cultuurverschillen en Communicatie (Cultural Differences and Communication)[12] based on participant observation: How do professionals and their clients communicate with each other, both successfully and unsuccessfully. The observations were used in videotaped courses as models for role-playing. The book became a standard work in the Netherlands and Belgium. Eppink was called "the pioneer in the field of transcultural communication in the Netherlands."[13]

Forensic expert 1977-1997[14][edit]

In his capacity of a permanent forensic court expert, Eppink wrote several articles on diagnostic problems due to communication and cultural differences.[15]. (Some articles have been reprinted on Academia.edu[16].)
Several problems concerning individual cases were published in the national press[17], including communication problems in courtrooms in defiance of translation by interpreters[18], as well as wrong dagnosis.[19]

Dr. Eppink Adviesgroep developed programs on job hunting and outplacement, and published 'Focused Applying', a fill-in workbook for personal development.[20]
