In this study, the authors examined the relationships between interethnic interaction, intercultural sensitivity and interethnic bridging social capital among students of different ethnicities at aMalaysian public university.

The finding underscores the role of intercultural sensitivity on interethnic bridging social capital development through ethnic diversity engagement.
