Cultural intelligence is defined as an individual's ability to function effectively in situations characterized by cultural diversity. With contributions from eminent scholars worldwide, the "Handbook of Cultural Intelligence" is a 'state-of-the-science' summary of the body of knowledge about cultural intelligence and its relevance for managing diversity both within and across cultures. Because cultural intelligence capabilities can be enhanced through education and experience, this handbook emphasizes individual capabilities - specific characteristics that allow people to function effectively in culturally diverse settings - rather than the approach used by more traditional books of describing and comparing cultures based on national cultural norms, beliefs, habits, and practices.The Handbook covers conceptional and definitional issues, assessment approaches, and application of cultural intelligence in the domains of international and cross-cultural management as well as management of domestic activity. It is an invaluable resource that will stimulate and guide future research on this important topic and its application across a broad range of disciplines, including management, organizational behavior, industrial and organizational psychology, intercultural communication, and more.

This book explains to those living and working in another country how to identify and develop their Cultural Intelligence, or CQ. Cultural intelligence is an outsider’s natural ability to interpret and respond to unfamiliar cultural signals in an appropriate manner. CQ is distinguished by three core features: the head, or the ability to discover new information about a culture; the heart, or one’s motivation and confidence in dealing with a culture; and the body, or the capability to adapt actions and behavior so that they are appropriate in a new culture. A manager with a high CQ can enter into new cultural settings—national, professional, organizational, regional—and immediately understand what is happening and why, confidently interact with people, and engage in the right actions. Filled with real-world examples and case studies, this book explains how to assess one’s own skills and improve one’s CQ.

Given the prominent role of graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in preparing pre-service teachers to be culturally relevant educators, [the authors] developed a series of online learning modules for GTAs in a College of Education to support their intercultural competency development. [The authors] developed the Introduction to Cultural Competency in Education online learning modules with two primary frameworks: (a) the Culture Cycle (Hamedani & Markus, 2019), which conceptualizes culture by ideas, institutions, interactions, and individuals; and (b) the Intercultural Development Continuum (Hammer, 2012), which supports individuals to reflect on their intercultural competencies and identify areas of growth, progressing from denial, polarization, minimization, acceptance, to adaptation.

This study examines the effectiveness of six intercultural learning modules in enhancing students’ intercultural competency. In addition, it explores students’ attitudes toward the design of the learning modules from an instructional designer's perspective. The research participants included 15 students enrolled in a core learning design class. Students were required to complete the first two topics (i.e., Topics 1&2) and one additional topic of their choice listed below:

1. Topic 1: Understanding Accents Different from Your Own (UA)
2. Topic 2: Digging Deeper with Critical Reflection (CR)
3. Topic 3: Intercultural Collaboration
4. Topic 4: Teaming I: Communication
5. Topic 5: Teaming II: Self and Other Awareness
6. Topic 6: Teaming III: Productive Conflict

Students also completed their evaluations and reflections for each topic through a survey that included 25 Likert scale questions (1 = poor and 4 = exceptional) relevant to five categories (i.e., content quality, motivation, instructional design, cognitive, and intuitiveness) and five open-ended questions. Quantitative data analysis indicated that students’ learning experiences were positive. The average score of the 25 questions for the topics reviewed is around 3 or above. The open-ended question responses were analyzed using thematic analysis and R-Studio – Sentimental Analysis. The bing sentiment lexicons and nrc sentiment lexicons showed that students were positive toward the learning modules as well. Additionally, two themes evolved from the open-ended responses: 1) Students learned more about cultural differences and how to communicate in a team environment, and 2) Students are motivated to be more proactive in reaching out to people with different backgrounds, accents, etc.

In order to begin reaching this goal of student cultural literacy, the research team created an intercultural experience for Animal Sciences students that combined two high impact practices (study abroad and Learning Communities). Students participated in a 10-day summer program studying animal agriculture in northern Italy and then an on-campus course during the fall semester. This presentation discusses the methods and findings for student intercultural development and empathy assessment.

This study took a combined view of intercultural competence and understanding contemporary students. In terms of intercultural competence, students’ attitudes, knowledge, and skills toward different cultures are theoretical domains to evaluate. To understand Generation Z, parental bonding, tolerance of uncertainty, and personal values in evaluating different cultures were also investigated. A sequential mixed method design was used to achieve the practical goals of this study.

Deficiencies in intercultural insight amongst American youth have led to an increased focus on globalization within institutions of higher education. To remedy this need amongst undergraduates, which has been exacerbated since the pandemic, short-term study abroads have been developed with the goal of enhancing these skillsets through application-based curriculum. New pedagogies have resulted so that students can be adequately exposed to true intercultural experiences along with tools to quantify this learning. This study identified and assessed intercultural learning gaps during a recent trip abroad.

This study, by Purdue scholar Horane Diatta-Holgate, describes the creation and validation of a survey which asks the student to evaluate whether the instructor uses culturally inclusive language, pedagogy and behavior in the post-secondary classroom, and to define the degree to which that student feels included. While culturally relevant and culturally competent pedagogy is important to inclusion, this is the first known tool to ask for feedback from the students, as opposed to probing teacher attitudes.

From the abstract: "In this paper, [the authors] discuss the point of view of three instructors who teach the integrated courses in the first-year program at Purdue University. The first-year integrated program launched by Polytechnic Institute...combines three departments: English, Communication, and Technology. The instructors representing these departments teach technology students about Design Thinking, Composition, and Communication, thereby providing students an opportunity for designing and developing multimodal compositions geared towards solving global issues via interdisciplinary interactions."

From the abstract: "For ten years, Dr. Jill Newton has coordinated the Maymester in Tanzania program and has created a highly successful and compelling program. Her aim for this program was to create a mini Peace Corps experience for Purdue University students, seeing as she has herself served as a Corps member in Papua New Guinea. One of the most impactful and rewarding components of this program is the service learning opportunities she encourages. Purdue University students attending this program have received a total of over $23,000 in service learning grants to date towards bettering the communities they interact with daily while on this culturally immersive experience. Dr. Newton has created a program that not only serves the students participating in the trip through academics and a new cultural environment, but also serving the communities that open their homes to Purdue University for four weeks every May."
