Tóm tắt
Adopting Chen and Starosta’s Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) published in 2000, this study compared intercultural sensitivity of college students in two distinctive institutions: a mid-sized state university in the south and a small private liberal arts school in the mid-west. The results of an online survey with 437 randomly selected students showed that students in the mid-sized state university are more interculturally sensitive than their counterparts in two dimensions of the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS). This study also found that two environment variables and one personal character variable are positively related to the student’s level of intercultural sensitivity. Practical implications and limitations of the study are discussed. © 2019, © 2019 World Communication Association.
