A Validation Study of the Defense Language Office Framework for Cultural Competence and an Evaluation of Available Assessment Instruments

Abstract

The present project was undertaken at the request of the J-9 Research Directorate of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) to evaluate the Framework for Cross-Cultural Competence, Framework hereafter. The Framework was developed by a culture resource group organized by the Defense Language Office of the U.S. Department of Defense. The goals of the project were to (1) assess the content of the Framework, (2) determine if its competency set is supported by empirical literature, (3) make recommendations for changes to the Framework if warranted, and (4) suggest future directions for research on cross-cultural competency (3C) in the U.S. military. The Framework was viewed in this project as a competency model and the extant issues involving competency modeling were discussed with respect to the Framework.
