跨文化能力（ICC）可以定义为与其他文化背景的人充分有效互动所需的一系列能力。本研究的目的是调查国际经验中国际刑事法院的发展。我们对 N = 273 人的样本进行了一项准实验纵向研究。 199 名参与者出国至少 3 个月，其余 74 名参与者同期留在德国。 ICC 已通过简短版本的跨文化能力测试投入使用，该测试通过自我评价测试和情境判断测试，多方法地衡量 ICC 的六个方面。我们在变化评分模型的框架内进行了回归分析，从而得出出国 3 个月后全球 ICC 的显着增加。分析ICC的六个方面，我们发现文化认同反思的增长幅度最大，它被定义为深入、不断地反思自己的文化性格。我们讨论了关于国际刑事法院概念化和在国外居留的相关性的结果。
Intercultural competence (ICC) can be defined as a complex of abilities that are needed to interact with people from other cultures adequately and effectively. The goal of the present study was to investigate the development of ICC during international experiences. We conducted a quasi-experimental longitudinal study with a sample of N = 273 individuals. Whereas 199 participants went abroad for at least 3 months, the remaining 74 participants stayed in Germany during the same period. ICC was operationalized with the short version of the Test to Measure Intercultural Competence, which measures six facets of ICC multi-methodically with a self-appraisal test and a situational judgment test. We calculated regression analyses within the framework of change score models, thereby yielding significant increases in global ICC after 3 months abroad. Analyzing the six facets of ICC, we found the greatest increase for Cultural Identity Reflection, which is defined as intensively and constantly reflecting upon one’s own cultural character. We discuss our results with regard to the conceptualization of ICC and the relevance of stays abroad.
