Since 2021 the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology has launched the Independent Student Exchange program as part of the Merdeka Campus Program. The Independent Student Exchange Program began to open online registration in June 2021, and has now entered the program implementation stage. One of the main goals of the Independent Student Exchange Program is to explore and get to know the cultural diversity of the archipelago and make friends with fellow students from different cultural backgrounds. This study aims to analyze aspects of intercultural communication that occur in the implementation of the Independent Student Exchange Program, such as how cultural interactions among students, how each student displays their cultural identity, and how to adapt to fellow students. This research uses a qualitative approach, an exploratory paradigm, in a case study perspective. The data collection process was carried out under natural conditions in the form of observation, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. This study concludes that although there are many differences in cultural backgrounds, students try to adapt to their peers who have different cultural backgrounds. The main obstacle in intercultural communication is the language barrier, because even though both speak Indonesian, the influence of local languages is still very strong, so sometimes the same vocabulary has different meanings and meanings. The results of the study also found several cases related to stereotypes against certain ethnic groups, the existence of ethnocentrism among program participants and various difficulties in adapting to fellow program participants.

“…There are numerous studies on the factors and predictors of the effectiveness of intercultural communication among international students in a new socio-cultural environment, including socio-demographic characteristics, health status, personality traits, tolerance, identity, metastereotypes, cognitive abilities, intercultural competence; cultural intelligence, and so on (Güngör and Bornstein, 2009;de Araujo, 2011;Neuliep, 2012;Jenny, 2013;Bücker et al, 2014;Bierwiaczonek and Waldzus, 2016;Presbitero and Attar, 2018;Thomas, 2018;Solhaug and Kristensen, 2020;Gritsenko et al, 2021;Ma and Xia, 2021;Matera and Catania, 2021;Cao and Meng, 2022;Xiong et al, 2022). The listed variables have a different impact on intercultural communication depending on external and internal conditions, which in turn sets the task of finding new predictors of the effectiveness of intercultural communication among international students.…”

2022

In modern psychology, mindfulness is an important resource for psychological well-being and intergroup relations, but its role in intercultural communication effectiveness has not been sufficiently studied. This research aims to identify the interrelationship between interpersonal mindfulness, intergroup anxiety, and intercultural communication effectiveness among international students. The sample includes 337 (Mage = 22.93, SD = 3.11) international students (41.5% of females) from different countries studying in Russian Universities. Interpersonal mindfulness was measured using the Interpersonal Mindfulness Scale, Intergroup anxiety using ten items adapted from Stephan and Stephan and used in Gudykunst and Nishida, and Intercultural communication effectiveness using the eight items adapted from Gudykunst’s Perceived Effectiveness of Communication measure. Descriptive analysis, correlations, and mediation analyses were used to process the data. The research findings showed that interpersonal mindfulness has both a direct effect on intercultural communication effectiveness and a mediation effect on intercultural communication effectiveness through intergroup anxiety among the international students.
