The Relationship of Intercultural Sensitivity to Extension Agents' Cross-cultural Experiences and Other Factors

French, Cora L

Abstract Details

1996, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Human Ecology.
The relationship of intercultural sensitivity to Ohio's Extension Agents' cross-cultural life experiences were examined. A descriptive-correlational research design was used. The instrument used was the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale developed by Towers (1990). Extension agents (n=267) from all 88 counties participated. Findings revealed significant relationships between intercultural sensitivity and study/travel/work abroad and the number of foreign friends. Overall results of the ANOVA indicated that there was not a statistically significant difference between agents by program area. The average agent is in the ethnorelative state of intercultural sensitivity.
