In this paper, we examine how prior intercultural exposure and personality factors shape the development of CQ during international student mobility. Two waves of data were collected from 549 engineering students over a nine-month period. Measures included the eleven subdimensions of expanded cultural intelligence (E-CQ), information on prior intercultural exposure (migration background, prior residence abroad, and number of countries visited), personality factors (openness and extraversion), and gender. Results from latent change score models revealed that nine of the eleven subdimensions of E-CQ increased significantly following international mobility. Students with lower initial E-CQ levels demonstrated greater growth compared to their peers with higher initial E-CQ levels. Openness and extraversion were positively associated with higher initial levels of metacognitive, cognitive, and motivational CQ but were related to smaller gains in motivational CQ (self-efficacy) and behavioral CQ (speech acts). Prior intercultural exposure was associated with higher initial E-CQ levels but was generally related to lower CQ growth, except for metacognitive CQ (planning). Our results show that international mobility significantly enhances CQ, with the most significant improvements observed among students with lower levels of openness, extraversion, or prior intercultural exposure. They highlight the importance of designing mobility programs that foster CQ while taking into account different levels of prior intercultural exposure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"106 ","pages":"Article 102180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the strength of these relationships varies systematically across countries, with the association between democratic values and immigrant attitudes showing a clear regional pattern. The relationship between cosmopolitan orientation and favorable attitudes toward immigrants is stronger among individuals with higher diffuse support for democracy. Cross-country analyses reveal that the positive association between democratic values and immigrant attitudes is strongest in Western and Nordic European countries, while being weaker or even negative in some Eastern European contexts.

In Study 3, with a Spanish sample, we found that ethnic outgroup refugees (Syrians) were more dehumanized than ethnic ingroup refugees (Ukrainians). Similarly, Study 4, which sampled British participants and focused on the same ingroup and outgroup, found that ethnic outgroup refugees were more dehumanized than ethnic ingroup refugees.

Content analysis of the data identified a sense of <em>non</em>-belonging, whose intersectional nature was apparent through six expressions– (il)legal status constraints, social isolation, language barrier, professional inadequacy, cultural gap, and explicit references to their discrimination by official and informal Israel – each embedded in the joint operation of the migrants’ five bases of otherness. This phenomenology of (non-)belonging was shared by documented and undocumented participants, challenging the accepted understanding of migrants’ undocumented status as a “master status” that obscures their additional social statuses.

The analysis reveals a decline in immigration-related tweets post-election, with a significant reduction in politically polarized topics. Republicans showed higher activity on immigration issues before the election, but both party supporters engaged similarly afterward. Throughout the study period, pro-immigration tweets outnumbered the anti-immigration ones, and the state-level factors most associated with pro-immigration attitudes were higher median incomes and the higher share of foreign populations. The study employs intergroup contact theory and group threat theory to explain shifts in public discourse, finding support for both perspectives. Qualitative analysis showed pro-immigration sentiment was primarily rooted in humanitarian and ethical concerns, while anti-immigration views centered around the immigration status and perceived economic, political, and security threats. At the same time, division was observed in the anti-immigration sentiment towards immigrants having legal and illegal status in the U.S. This research contributes to understanding how political events and demographic variables shape online immigration discourse.
