Abstract

Over the last decades, European Union policies and the 2030 Agenda have focused on promoting social inclusion and fighting discrimination for achieving a better citizenship cohesion. To this end, intercultural sensitivity (hereafter, IS) is a determining factor. This situation has led to a proliferation of studies and research on this concept. However, no review of the scientific literature reporting on the current advancements has been found. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse recently published research and studies (2017–2021) on IS, so to obtain an approximation on the advances that have been made in this field and at which point is the research currently. The methodology followed for the systematic review is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model. The initial search yielded 221 articles and, after an exhaustive review, 32 studies were selected. The main findings revolve around the description of the studies, their aims and their new contributions on the subject. These results allow us to propose a reorientation of the research that should be carried out to continue investigating and advancing in the field of IS.

跨文化敏感性和测量工具：文献系统回顾

过去几十年来，欧洲联盟的政策和 2030 年议程都侧重于促进社会包容和打击歧视，以实现更好的公民凝聚力。为此，跨文化敏感性（以下简称 IS）是一个决定性因素。这种情况导致对这一概念的研究和调查激增。然而，目前还没有发现任何关于当前进展的科学文献综述。因此，本文旨在分析最近发表的有关 IS 的研究（2017-2021 年），从而大致了解该领域已取得的进展以及目前的研究处于哪个阶段。系统综述所采用的方法基于系统综述和元分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）模型。最初的搜索结果是 221 篇文章，经过详尽的审查，选出了 32 项研究。主要研究结果围绕研究描述、研究目的及其对该主题的新贡献展开。通过这些结果，我们提出了重新调整研究方向的建议，以便继续在信息系统领域开展调查并取得进展。

期刊介绍： IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
