Abstract:
|
This paper pertains to the question of whether some people are pre-disposed in some way to seek intercultural contact compared to others. Variables such as ethnocentrism, sensation seeking, social initiative, and motivation have been identified as some variables that may influence a person’s intercultural contact seeking behavior, in past research. The present study was designed to explore these variables further. Six hypotheses were proposed and tested using correlation analyses (N = 339). The implications of these findings are discussed. |
