先前的研究已经确定了跨文化能力（IC）的不同维度。然而，它的重点在不同学科和背景下仍然不一致。现有的评估工具并未关注跨文化能力的所有方面。相反，每个都只关注 IC 尺寸的一个子集。为了填补这一空白，本研究的目的是 (1) 对当前可用的 IC 评估工具进行回顾，以及 (2) 确定 IC 关键维度的综合列表。这将有助于研究人员就 IC 的统一定义达成一致，并开发适用于跨环境和学科的 IC 测量方法。作者发现，全面的 IC 定义和测量应考虑认知（特定文化的知识、态度、开放思想/灵活性、批判性思维、动机和个人自主性）、情感（文化同理心和情绪稳定性/控制）和行为（经验、社会主动性、领导力和沟通）维度。
Prior research has identified different dimensions of intercultural competence (IC). However, its focus remains inconsistent across different disciplines and contexts. Existing assessment tools do not focus on all dimensions of Intercultural Competence. Instead, each focuses only on a subset of the IC dimensions. To fill this gap, this study aims (1) to provide a review of currently available assessment tools for IC and (2) to identify a comprehensive list of the key dimensions of IC. This will help researchers agree on a unified definition of IC and develop a measurement of IC that is applicable across contexts and disciplines. The authors find that a comprehensive IC definition and measurement should take into account cognitive (culture-specific knowledge, attitude, open-mindedness/ flexibility, critical thinking, motivation, and personal autonomy), affective (cultural empathy and emotional stability/control), and behavioral (experience, social initiative, leadership, and communication) dimensions.
