The authors then mentioned later work by Chen and Starosta (1997, 1998, 2000), suggesting that intercultural competence incorporates three related dimensions: sensitivity, awareness, and skills. One important finding is that there are relationships between how individuals acculturate and how well they adapt: Often those who integrate (defined as being engaged in both their heritage culture and in the larger society) are better adapted than those who acculturate by orienting themselves to one or the other culture (by way of assimilation or separation) or to neither culture (marginalization)., While normal immigrants leave their country in order to experience a better economic or social well-being, refugees primarily seek security and may face more challenges than other migrants or sojourners. 0000002604 00000 n One facilitator and the social connection layer are concerned by acculturation and cultural competence.

(2006) within their prescriptions of cultural competence in medical education, argue, that practical skills must be taught as opposed to just general principle meaning that a practitioner has to learn to listen to the patient's perception of the problem, explain their own opinion, acknowledge and discuss differences and similarities, recommend treatment, and negotiate an agreement.

This model describes competency in terms of four dimensions: attitude, practice, policy, and structure. 2, pp. Chang (2009) [77] found that cultural shocks help enhance expatriate workers' awareness of their existing schemas. The MPQ seems to be a popular instrument that is well validated, also across cultural contexts. According to Doris Weidemann (2001)[85] , investigation of intercultural interactions has demonstrated that individual psychological processes show distinct cultural patterns and, more important, that communication across cultural gaps often meets with difficulties. She also adds, that Communication across cultural divides is usually described as difficult and often results in misunderstandings and failure to achieve individual or even common goals.
