Abstract
This article aims to investigate how international experience interferes in an individual’s perception of psychic distance between Brazil and six other countries. Therefore, six people with international experience and six without international experience were interviewed in order to identify convergent and divergent perceptions. The study has a descriptive and qualitative nature and it is based on the theoretical models of Rocha (2004) and Hofstede (1980). Data analysis was performed through content analysis and the results empirically demonstrate the influence of international experience in the perception of psychic distance and revealed incorrect associations made by the interviewees that have never been abroad.
