Intercultural Sensitivity Scale and Personel Questions

The scale was developed by Chen and Starosta and was adapted to Turkish in 2010. It consists of twenty-four items and includes five emotional dimensions necessary to measure intercultural sensitivity. The scale has five dimensions: responsibility in communication, respect for cultural differences, self-confidence in communication, enjoying communication, and being careful in communication. The scale has a 5-point Likert-type rating. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of sensitivity increases. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was determined as 0.90.

Time frame: Pre-test (Before the training)
