“…Higher levels of cultural intelligence also predicted higher levels of cultural selfefficacy. These findings were also largely in line with literature [52,58,64,68]. An individual with higher scores on the motivation and cognition dimension of cultural intelligence showed higher levels of cultural self-efficacy through higher scores on the process, mix, cope, and understanding dimensions and on the process, cope, understanding, and language dimensions respectively.…”

“…The second key node is the cognitive dimension of cultural intelligence, which receives only one pathway, but is also sending out four pathways toward cultural self-efficacy. This evidence confirms that knowledge and motivation form the prime gateway toward effective intercultural behavior [41,42,58,74,75].…”

“…Cultural intelligence can be described as a set of adaptable properties that allows an individual to effectively manage intercultural situations [54]. Literature already reached consensus that cultural intelligence at least features a (meta) cognitive dimension (i.e., knowledge about different cultures), a motivational dimension (i.e., motivation to interact with people from different cultures), and a behavioral dimension (i.e., knowledge about how to act in intercultural interactions) [52,[55][56][57][58]. Research on these dimensions with adolescents showed a positive relation with contact and cooperation and multiculturalism in both immigrant and non-immigrant students [59].…”

“…Indeed, both the present study and literature already indicate that the relation between cultural intelligence (motivation and cognition) and effective intercultural behavior is fairly strong as already stated. Moreover, cultural intelligence is quite malleable, making for an excellent candidate to target directly in future training, interventions, and identifying best practices, ultimately improving the intercultural effectiveness of individuals [19,58].…”

Why does someone thrive in intercultural situations; while others seem to struggle? In 2014, Leung and colleagues summarized the literature on intercultural competence and intercultural effectiveness into a theoretical framework. This integrative framework hypothesizes that the interrelations between intercultural traits, intercultural attitudes and worldviews, and intercultural capabilities predict the effectiveness with which individuals respond to intercultural situations. An empirically verified framework can contribute to understanding intercultural competence and effectiveness in health care workers, thus contributing to more equity in health care. The present study sets out to test this integrative framework in a specific health care context. Future health care practitioners (N = 842) in Flanders (Belgium) were questioned on all multidimensional components of the framework. Structural equation modeling showed that our data were adequate to even a good fit with the theoretical framework, while providing at least partial evidence for all hypothesized relations. Results further showed that intercultural capabilities remain the major gateway toward more effective intercultural behavior. Especially the motivation and cognition dimensions of cultural intelligence seem to be key factors, making these dimensions an excellent target for training, practical interventions, and identifying best practices, ultimately supporting greater intercultural effectiveness and more equity in health care.

“…Yet, there is no systematic review of how cross-cultural collaborative activities are designed and implemented. A recent review by Chen and Gabrenya [32] was aimed at investigating the quality of instruments adopted for the evaluation of individual capabilities living and working in cross-cultural contexts, and the results indicated that cross-cultural competence measurement in terms of convergent validity was good, however, discriminant validity was lacking. However, this study did not delve deep into what these instruments were being used to measure, the research purpose, and the research methods used.…”

Cross-cultural collaborative learning in different learning domains is the road to the sustainability of economic, social, and environmental development. It creates the appropriate environment to acquire cross-cultural communication and collaboration skills for the 21st century. This study conducted a systematic review of 54 articles on cross-cultural collaborative learning published from 2011 to 2020. Based on the proposed analysis framework, the major elements of cross-cultural collaborative learning are revealed, including learners, group composition, learning environment, cross-cultural learning content, collaborative learning strategies, and research designs. The results indicated that most studies engaged learners at the university level and adopted small group sizes in cross-cultural collaborative learning activities. The online learning environment and social science learning content were widely employed in the past 10 years. Most studies adopted multiple collaborative learning strategies and lasted for 9 to 24 weeks. Most studies targeted mixed research purposes and adopted the qualitative analysis method. The findings and relevant suggestions for future studies are discussed in depth.
