A Preliminary Investigation into Dynamic Measurement and Implicit Affect in Assessing Cross-Cultural Competence

Abstract

The research project described in this technical report was undertaken to address one of several challenges affecting the Department of Defenses goal of increasing the cross-cultural competency (3C) of military and civilian personnelvalid measurement of 3C and its antecedents. High quality measurement of 3C is important for selection and training, but an earlier report funded under this contract found that most of the currently available instruments in this field are either of poor or unknown validity (Gabrenya, Moukarzel, Pomerance, Griffith, and Deaton, 2012). Gabrenya et al. (2012) identified two gaps in assessment efforts: (1) the widespread use of self-report instruments and (2) inattention to affective and emotional processes involved in 3C.
