A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
With the increasing globalization, societies have become more multicultural than ever before. To be able to adapt to, engage in, and interact with culturally different others, one should be aware of cultural values. This is called intercultural competence, ICC for short, and it has been an increasingly important factor in the work environment. However, little is known about ICC during the transition to higher education. Studies have suggested that ICC can help with integration and inclusion. In the current study, we are interested in whether ICC predicts inclusion and psychological well-being in first-year students. We suggest that ICC will positively relate to perceived inclusion and well-being and that it also moderates the relationship between the latter two. A sample of 166 first-year students filled in several questionnaires. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with three students to gain more insight into the found relationships. Results show that there is a significant relationship between ICC and well-being, and no moderation of ICC on the relation between inclusion and well-being was found. The paper concludes with discussing implications and several suggestions for future research, stressing the importance of ICC during early stages of one’s education.
