Discussion

The U.S. side had a little more emphasis on wanting a firm boss. Costa Ricans are generally less confrontational than people from the U.S., and maybe this can account for weaker association of a "good boss" with "firm." The Ticos used more words like "kind" and "cares for," diction that is overall more gentle than some of the U.S. responses.
