I think you're right, but it's tough work to extrapolate this. Some authors have tried, though. John Barnes' Orbital Resonance does some of this, as does Ian M. Banks. I think Cherryh chooses to have characters that we can recognize in new situations, rather than trying to explore how people would change in the new situations. Even in her hani novels, the hani have rather humanish personalities, though her other aliens are more believably non-human.
