Intercultural Sensitivity

  • Intercultural sensitivity is the level of awareness of cultural differences and the ability to react appropriately in different cultural contexts.

  • An interculturally sensitive person has an interest in others and understands their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors (Bennett, 1986; Bucker and Poutsma, 2010).

Global Mindset

  • A global mindset involves openness to and articulation of multiple cultural and strategic realities on both global and local levels.

  • Key traits include curiosity, acceptance of complexity, diversity consciousness, an extended time perspective, and systems thinking.

Cosmopolitanism

Cultural Intelligence (CQ)

  • Cultural intelligence (CQ) is an individual's capability to function and manage effectively in culturally diverse settings or environments (Ang et al., 2007).

  • CQ has four dimensions: meta-cognition, cognition, motivation, and behavior.

Edward Hall's Space Dimension

  • Proxemics refers to the use of space as a subcategory of nonverbal communication, influenced by culture.

  • Categories of space include intimate, personal, social, and public spaces.
