“…The scale's reliability and validity were verified through the contributions of 3, 526 individuals from five different linguistic backgrounds worldwide 151 and by other empirical research. 152 The confirmatory factor analysis in the pilot test revealed that one item of the Cultural Skills had insufficient factor loadings and was thus excluded from the current study.…”

Background: It is increasingly essential for translators to possess a high level of technological proficiency to succeed in their work, as technology is becoming an integral part and common practice of the translation industry. Several previous studies found that critical thinking, academic self-efficacy, and cultural intelligence independently influenced the translation competence of college students. However, the underlying psychological mechanism through which these salient factors affect student translators' technology competence has not been fully explored. Therefore, this research sought to examine the systematic interactions between critical thinking, academic self-efficacy, cultural intelligence, and translation technology competence among college students. Methods: This study adopted an empirical approach to collect data from 663 seniors from 7 colleges in China. The questionnaires of the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS), General Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (GASE), Short Form measure of Cultural Intelligence (SFCQ), and Translation Technology Competence Scale (TTCS) were used for the online survey. The quantitative data were investigated by employing descriptive statistics with SPSS 27, covariance-based structural equation modelling with AMOS 24 to test the proposed hypotheses by assessing relationships between observed and latent variables, and bootstrap method with PROCESS 3.5 to examine the mediating effects. Results: Critical thinking, academic self-efficacy, and cultural intelligence were significant predictors of students' translation technology competence. Additionally, academic self-efficacy and cultural intelligence acted as independent and chain mediators in the relationship between critical thinking and student translators' technology competence. Conclusion:The findings provide valuable insight into how psychological factors, including critical thinking, academic self-efficacy, and cultural intelligence, can impact students' competence in translation technology. This study contributes to future research and practices that seek to understand how these psychological factors can be leveraged to promote students' success in translation technologies.

Cultural intelligence is a key success factor for academics and is required for the effective internationalisation of universities worldwide. The paper introduces the concepts of internationalisation and cultural intelligence. Characteristics of cultural intelligence and its connection to HEIs are described. The objective of the study is to measure the cultural intelligence of Bulgarian university professors according to Soon Ang’s cultural intelligence scale (CQS). Research methods include a questionnaire based on CQS, descriptive statistics and correlational analysis. The questionnaire was given to Bulgarian university professors (N=421) to assess the four components of CQ: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral. Three hypotheses were formulated in relation to CQ assessment. Results were analysed with SPSS software. Findings show that the first hypothesis, Bulgarian university professors do not experience communication difficulties when contacting foreigners and/or teaching foreign students, was confirmed. The second hypothesis that the cultural intelligence among Bulgarian university professors is well developed, was also confirmed. The third hypothesis, that there is an existing correlation between the teaching experience of Bulgarian professors and their cultural intelligence, was rejected. The overall level of CQ among Bulgarian professors is very high and it is not connected to their teaching experience. Professors demonstrate lower results mostly in the cognitive component. The reasons behind these results could be traced in Bulgarian cultural values, according to which being able to adapt and blend in foreign cultures is an asset and a desirable outcome. The paper concludes that cultural intelligence is applicable to internationalisation in higher education institutions (HEIs).
