According to Berry (2005) [134], integration can only be freely chosen and successfully pursued by non-dominant groups when the dominant society is open and inclusive in its orientation towards cultural diversity. endobj Kupka, B., Everett, A., & Wildermuth, S.

A framework for cross-cultural competence and learning recommendations. Hofestede, G. (1984). The data collection method embedded a drawing activity within focus group discussions., The multiple data collection methods (i.e., drawings and individual reflections on them, and focus group discussions) we used in this study were complementary: the drawings provided unique insights into certain aspects of their lives. Over the last decade, a growing number of social scientists have become interested in visual methodologies. Advances in Social Work 10(2), 176-192.

's (2004) [114] literature review also shows that intercultural training can enhance knowledge and satisfaction but not necessarily change behaviour and attitudes. There are several variants of this instrument. Merrill, Kelly Carter (May 2007). A good example is his "psychological engine" of adjustment". According to How effective is intercultural training? Adaptation is thus considered a consequence of acculturation. Acculturation strategies refer to the various ways in which groups and individuals seek to acculture. Both positive and negative experiences should be used as learning resources. Sieck, W., Smith, J., & Rasmussen, L. (2013). 0000361444 00000 n Cultural schema theory. With respect to ICC measurement, the authors, citing Matsumoto & Hwang (2013) [42], identify the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQ), the Multicultural Personality Inventory (MPQ) and the Intercultural Adjustment Potential Scale (ICAPS) as the most salient instruments and describe what they measure: The following latent dimensions appear to underlie these ICC constructs: (CQ) motivation, behavior, metacognition; (MPQ) open mindedness-social initiative, open mindednessflexibility, cultural empathy, emotional stability; and (ICAPS) openness, flexibility, critical thinking, and emotion regulation. The Integrated Measure of Intercultural Sensitivity scale was created by Weiss (2012) [168] and includes four subscales: According to Matsumoto and Hwang [42], Van der Zee and van Oudenhoven (2000) [169] defined multicultural effectiveness as successfully operating in a new cultural environment, a feeling of psychological well-being in that environment, and interest in and ability to deal with individuals from a different cultural background..

Several interchangeable terms have been introduced to refer to cultural competence including cultural sensitivity, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, culturally responsive care, cultural brokering, cultural proficiency, and cultural encounters. Guided by the cultural competence and confidence (CCC) model, the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) can be used to evaluate the influence of cultural competence education on the transcultural self-efficacy (TSE). . London: Sage.

The authors also point out that CCT should be tailored to both the features of the assignment and the invidual (since personality traits make a huge difference in terms of CCT needs and learning ability). Kathleen Culhane-Pera identified five levels of cultural awareness. Dervin (2011) [24] complains that (most) approaches do not take into account the complexity of individuals who interact with each other and reduce them to cultural facts or give the impression of encounters of cultures rather than individuals..

Four important dimensions were identified: The association fo American Colleges and Universities developed an Intercultural Knowledge And Competence Value Rubric. <> In addition, the drawings also provided more contextual information that enriched the understanding gained from the focus groups.. Dongfeng (2012:73) [69], analysing studies on culture shock, identifies four implications for cross-cultural training: Matsumoto & Hwang (2013) [42], in a review of tests to measure cross-cultural competence, identify two categories of desirable outcomes, adaptation and adjustment.

It is based on the theoretical considerations and on fifteen years of teaching and training experience in intercultural communication with a wide range of students (Bennett, 1986:182) [60]. Overall, the literature provides mixed support for "curve" models. [] Three ethnocentric orientations, where one's culture is experienced as central to reality (Denial, Defense, Minimization), and three ethnorelative orientations, where one's culture is experienced in the context of other cultures (Acceptance, Adaptation, Integration), are identified in the DMIS., was developed to measure an individuals ability to modify behavior in culturally appropriate ways when moving between different cultures. endobj However, in order to make integration happen, cultural adjustments have to made, first among these is becoming fluent in the language of the host culture.

Review of Research, in. 0000021693 00000 n They outline three key components of intercultural communication competence: intercultural sensitivity (affective process), intercultural awareness (cognitive process), and intercultural adroitness (behavioral process), defined as verbal and nonverbal skills needed to act effectively in intercultural interactions., multidimensional model of cultural competence (MDCC) incorporates three primary dimensions: (a) racial and culture-specific attributes of competence, (b) components of cultural competence, and (c) foci of cultural competence., The following latent dimensions appear to underlie these ICC constructs: (CQ) motivation, behavior, metacognition; (MPQ) open mindedness-social initiative, open mindednessflexibility, cultural empathy, emotional stability; and (ICAPS) openness, flexibility, critical thinking, and emotion regulation, refers to the process of cultural and psychological change that results following meeting between cultures. Interestingly, Beach et al (2005) mention that concerns have existed about whether specific cultural information taught in curricula using a knowledge-based, categorical approach might promote stereotyping of patients.

Images of walls and of physical separation may prove to be speaker louder than mere words in making the reader realize what segregation really is. A total of 653 college students rated these items in two separate stages and generated a 20-item final version of the instrument which contains six factors., message skills, interaction management, behavioral flexibility, identity management, and relationship cultivation (Chen,1989, 2005; Martin & Hammer, 1989; Ruben, 1977; Spitzberg & Changnon, 2009)., Bennett (1986, 1993b) posited a framework for conceptualizing dimensions of intercultural competence in his developmental model of intercultural sensitivity (DMIS). The ambassador, the most common type among international managers, can make believe that he "belongs" but understands his/her limits. A behavioral component emphasizes the ability to put skills into practise, and more generally, to effectively interact with others. For example, the magnitude of the difference in youth's (built and natural) environments came up in the drawings that were not discussed in the focus groups. Linguistic competence plays a key role.

In addition, the drawings also provided more contextual information that enriched the understanding gained from the focus groups., We discovered that the inclusion of dramatization and video had three main effects: first, they favored the involvement of the young men and women; second, they allowed them to share their experiences, formerly blocked by stigmatization processes; third, they were a potent instrument to make their perspectives visible to other social actors concerned by this problematic (teachers, government officers, parents)., I have tried to put forward the hypothesis that photographs are not just an illustration, but that social realities can indeed be understood through pictures.

In more simple words, it is something that guides our activities, but that is also reshaped by those.
