“…As Crisp and Turner (2012) note, imagined contact might be an effective tool in educational settings, preparing people for contact with out-group members (see also . We see this as particularly useful, as students in the sport industry frequently cited cross-cultural differences as an impediment to engaging in intergroup contact (Jones & Cunningham, 2008). This is also the case for heterosexuals' contact with…”

“…As Crisp and Turner () note, imagined contact might be an effective tool in educational settings, preparing people for contact with out‐group members (see also Vezzali, Capozza, Giovannini, & Stathi, ). We see this as particularly useful, as students in the sport industry frequently cited cross‐cultural differences as an impediment to engaging in intergroup contact (Jones & Cunningham, ). This is also the case for heterosexuals' contact with LGBT members in sport, as stereotypes and prejudice impede athletes' and parents' desire and intentions to interact with sexual minorities in the sport context (Sartore & Cunningham, , ).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine (a) the relationship among sport-related imagined intergroup contact, intergroup anxiety, and sexual prejudice, and (b) how these relationships varied across cultures. Students enrolled at major public universities in South Korea (n = 100) and the United States (n = 100) participated in an experiment in which they imagined playing basketball and then engaging in a conversation with a gay man or with a friend. They then responded to a post-experiment questionnaire. South Koreans' intergroup anxiety significantly decreased when they imagined contact with a gay man, but the same was not necessarily the case for Americans. Intergroup anxiety mediated the relationship between imagined contact and sexual prejudice for Americans, but not for Koreans.

“…The present study, by contrast, is focused on factors that promote or deter intentions to study abroad, a topic that has received relatively little SCCT research to this point. In addition to Bikos et al’s (2019) recent qualitative study linking SCCT to study abroad, Jones and Cunningham (2008) applied SCCT to the prediction of study abroad interests and intentions in a small sample of sports management majors who were considering study abroad programs. They found that the social cognitive predictors (self-efficacy, outcome expectations, supports, and barriers) were significantly interrelated, though only self-efficacy was uniquely predictive of interest, and interest alone was predictive of study abroad intent.…”

Studying abroad during college is an educational choice that has significant implications for students’ career, academic, and personal development. This study adapted the social cognitive models of career choice (Lent et al., 1994) and self-management (Lent & Brown, 2013) to examine predictors of study abroad interest and choice intentions. The psychometric properties of new and revised domain-specific measures of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, supports, and barriers were first assessed with an initial sample of 325 college students. The measures yielded an 8-factor structure and adequate reliability and validity estimates. The factor structure was cross-validated in an independent sample of students (N = 277). Support was also found for a higher order model of study abroad self-efficacy, with a single second order factor and three first order factors corresponding to cultural adjustment, decision-making, and administrative task self-efficacy. A structural path model offered good fit to the data and support for most of the paths predicting study abroad interests and intentions. We discuss directions for future research extending social cognitive career models to engagement in the study abroad experience and related academic/career behaviors.

“…The last data collection instrument (SAPQ) was a 15-item 5-point Likert scale aiming to explore the participants' perceptions about their study abroad experiences (see Appendix 2). The SAPQ was designed by combining items from different study abroad perception questionnaires (Albers-Miller, Prenshaw, & Straughan, 1999;Deci, Eghrari, Patrick, & Leone, 1994;Jones & Cunningham, 2008;Kasapoglu-Önder & Balcı, 2010;Lee, 2009;Ryan, 1982). To check its reliability, the perception questionnaire was administered to 20 undergraduate students from different Turkish state universities, who had studied in various ELF communities before through the Erasmus exchange program.…”

Language learner beliefs and study abroad: A study on English as a lingua franca (ELF)

The English language used to be specific to English-speaking countries such as the U.S.; however, it has evolved to become the new lingua franca all around the world. Considering the growing number of students studying abroad in English as a lingua franca (ELF) communities, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between Turkish exchange students' beliefs about English language learning and their study abroad sojourns in ELF contexts. The data were collected mainly through three instruments: language learner belief questionnaire (LLBQ), elicited journals, and a study abroad perception questionnaire (SAPQ). The quantitative and qualitative results revealed three important findings. First, there is a bi-directional relationship between students' pre- and post-beliefs about English language learning and their perceptions of study abroad experiences. Second, Turkish exchange students' overall beliefs remained almost the same across pre- and post-study abroad, suggesting that students might need stays longer than five months to have any observable changes in their beliefs about language learning. Third, although the current study's participants reported a commitment toward native-speaker norms, they shifted their focus from accuracy to intelligibility, which helped them achieve their ultimate goal, that is, successful interaction in ELF communities. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd
