Culture, Communication and Adaptation in Global Context
Call for Papers
The 16th International Conference of the
International Association for Intercultural Communication Studies
South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, P.R.China.
June 18-20, 2010
Globalization enters a world in which people of different cultural backgrounds increasingly come to depend on one another. It not only impacts every aspect of our personal and social life, but also leads to a higher level of interdependence and interconnectedness between people and people, organization and organization, and government to government in different cultures. The advent of this new era of telecommunication and human interconnection especially brings with it questions of identity, adaptation, language, ethics, community, power, and social order in the process of global communication. Thus, to understand these questions and develop intercultural communication competence becomes indispensable for reaching a productive and successful life in the 21st century. Consequently, increasing discussions among scholars in different disciplines have been focused on key issues and trends regarding globalization, communication, and adaptation in global context.
As an interdisciplinary conference on human communication across cultures, the International Association for Intercultural Communication Studies (IAICS) is now soliciting submissions for the 16th International Conference on Cross-Cultural Communication to be held on June 18-20, 2010 at South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, one of the largest cities in the People’s Republic of China.

Keywords: Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, reliability, validity, intercultural communication
The present study developed and assessed reliability and validity of a new instrument, the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS). Based on a review of the literature, 44 items thought to be important for intercultural sensitivity were generated. A sample of 414 college students rated these items and generated a 24-item final version of the instrument which contains five factors. An assessment of concurrent validity from 162 participants indicated that the ISS was significantly correlated with other related scales, including interaction attentiveness, impression rewarding, self-esteem, self-monitoring, and perspective taking. In addition, the predicted validity test from 174 participants showed that individuals with high ISS scores also scored high in intercultural effectiveness and intercultural communication attitude scales. Potential limitations and future direction of the study were discussed as well.
