The importance of intercultural communication is particularly significant in today's globalised world, given the continuous growth of cultural diversity and interactions among cultures at various levels, from personal relationships to global political processes. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms that facilitate or hinder effective intercultural exchange for the development of inclusive, tolerant, and respectful societies. This study analyses the impact of governance structures, digitalisation, and emotions on intercultural communication, using the theoretical framework of the theory of communicative action. The research focuses primarily on the European context. Governance structures and social hierarchies significantly shape conditions for intercultural dialogue, often creating barriers to equal exchange of ideas and hindering the voices of marginalized groups from being heard. Digitalisation provides new opportunities for intercultural exchange. However, it is important to ensure equal access to digital technologies and the development of digital literacy. Emotions have been found to influence intercultural communication strongly. Adequate expression and interpretation of emotions can contribute to greater mutual understanding and empathy among representatives of different cultures. The research findings suggest that it is necessary to integrate various strategies to overcome existing barriers in intercultural communication. These strategies include actively involving marginalized groups in dialogue, developing inclusive digital platforms, and focusing on the development of emotional intelligence. The study's conclusions emphasise the importance of a comprehensive approach to understanding and practically applying the principles of intercultural communication. This approach aims to build open, tolerant, and respectful intercultural relations. The results of this study have practical implications for educational institutions, international organisations, governmental structures, and other stakeholders seeking to promote intercultural interaction at various levels.

“…When individuals engage in cross-cultural exchanges, they may feel uneasy upon realizing that their assumptions about interpersonal communication, which are valid within their own culture, may not be applicable when interacting with individuals from a different culture. This emphasizes the importance of comprehending cultural differences and acknowledging the influence of culture on communication (Baires et al, 2021)." To minimize the likelihood of misunderstandings when communicating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, it is necessary to take certain measures, it is important to have a solid grasp of the principles of intercultural communication" (Croucher & Rahmani, 2015b).…”

International students in Malaysian universities face uncertainty and anxiety toward a multi-new culture, a must-encountered cultural shock. This study investigated the relationship between superficial causes of AUM theory and uncertainty and anxiety in a high-context culture. In this study, 388 international students from different faculties were chosen through a method called stratified random sampling, which sampled two public universities with the largest number and richest nationalities of international students. The researchers used a self-administered questionnaire to gather information from the participants, which was analyzed by AMOS and applied to the validation of theoretical construct through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and other statistical methods were employed to analyze the data and test seven hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that five superficial causes affect the management of uncertainty and anxiety in AUM theory. The results of this study have important implications for Malaysian public universities in terms of understanding the factors that influence uncertainty and anxiety management among students.

“…And furthermore, if the field's reaction to such criticism is with rhetoric and not data, increased dismissal of the utility and value of the overall field may result. Even those who speak up about creating change in the discipline (e.g., Jaramillo & Nohelty, 2022;Mathur & Rodriguez, 2022;Pritchett et al, 2022;Wright, 2019), doing better than in the past (e.g., Baires et al, 2022;Li et al, 2019), or improving inclusivity (e.g., Deochand & Costello, 2022;Levy et al, 2022;Lovelace et al, 2022) cannot and should not rest after such assertions alone, but only after producing data by which to support such claims. We believe that only through data that change will occur at the magnitude of impact that appears desired, and most importantly the type of data that will yield the greatest change-making potential will be gathered using between group, large sample sized research designs and statistical analyses.…”

The multi-decade debates within the field of behavior analysis as to the possible value and threat of group design methodology and statistical analyses on the purity of the field have weakened the discipline’s maximal impact on the world. This paper rebukes the concerns and suggests that through such adoption behavior analysis may likely better achieve its world-changing ideals, and pragmatic initiatives. We begin with a historical trace of the current debate and describe the pros and cons to design/analysis inclusion, frame such matters within the context of contemporary issues which applied behavior analysts find themselves concerned, and ultimately put forward means by which broader, and perhaps more impactful, research questions can be asked and interpreted.
