Abstract

Cultural intelligence (CQ) has been defined as "a person's capability to adapt effectively to new cultural contexts" (Earley and Ang, 2003). The authors argued that CQ offered a conceptual advancement in the study of cross-cultural transition and adaptation and lent itself to a range of applications, including training and selection for overseas assignments. CQ has subsequently attracted interest and critical commentary from international scholars in social, cross-cultural, and organizational psychology (Konrad, 2006); however, to date there have been few empirical investigations of the emerging construct.
