Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between Intercultural Sensitivity and Attitude of university students towards south - south migrants, with a non-experimental, cross- sectional, correlational design. The sample consisted of 653 undergraduate students in the areas of education, health and social sciences, from a private university in the region of Valparaíso, Chile, who participated voluntarily and with informed consent. The results reveal a high level of sensitivity, a favorable attitude towards Colombians and Venezuelans, and a neutral attitude towards Haitians. There is a significant, although low, relationship between intercultural sensitivity and attitude towards the three groups of migrants (Colombians r = .264; p = .000; Haitians r = .291; p = .000 and Venezuelans r = .296; p = .000). Women with multicultural experiences show greater Intercultural Sensitivity and these experiences predispose them to positively evaluate the immigrant groups. This has implications for the formative processes aimed at advancing interculturality in higher education in Chile.

智利大学生对南南移民的跨文化敏感性和态度

摘要本研究旨在分析大学生对南南移民的态度与跨文化敏感度之间的关系，采用非实验、横断面、相关设计。样本包括653名来自智利Valparaíso地区一所私立大学的教育、卫生和社会科学领域的本科生，他们自愿参加并获得知情同意。结果显示，美国人高度敏感，对哥伦比亚人和委内瑞拉人持好感态度，对海地人持中立态度。跨文化敏感性和对三种移徙者的态度之间存在着重要的关系，尽管关系不大(哥伦比亚人r = .264；p = 组织;海地人r = .291;p = 。000和委内瑞拉人r = .296；p = 组织)。具有多元文化经历的妇女表现出更大的跨文化敏感性，这些经历使她们倾向于积极评价移民群体。这对旨在促进智利高等教育中的跨文化性的形成过程具有影响。

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.
