| The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship that multicultural interaction, language skills, and total time spent in foreign countries have on behavioral cultural intelligence. We measured this by administering an 86-question survey to 101 undergraduate college students at a university in the United States. The questionnaires addressed the relationship between the independent variables of multicultural interaction, language skills, and total time spent in foreign countries and the dependent variable, behavioral cultural intelligence. The results indicated that a higher level of multi-cultural interaction and language skills resulted in a significantly higher level of behavioral cultural intelligence. Practical implications, limitations, and future research are also discussed in this paper. |
