Abstract : The objective of this paper is to conceptualize and gestate comprehensive approaches for the modeling of interpersonal and cross-cultural interactions. We begin this paper by defining the terms inter-personal and cross-cultural, and discussing the history of studies in this context, and different perspectives and schools of thought. The terms social, cultural and socio-cultural are also discussed and debated, along with a study of social, cultural and sociocultural variables. We then proceed to the core essence of this paper, and discuss what social, cultural, and sociocultural models are, besides discussing other types of models in general. We also then discuss the concepts of predictive modeling, behavioural modeling, psychological modeling, and relationship modeling. We also had proposed deep emic and deep etic approaches besides extended emic and extended etic approaches for modeling interpersonal and cross-cultural relationships, and we carry forward the same concepts into this paper. The various steps of our approach are also delineated and carefully examined, along with nomothetic approaches and generalization techniques. We hope and expect therefore, that our paper will become a critical cog in the wheel of twenty-first century social sciences.
