dc.description.abstractThe current research explores the relationship between knowledge and skill predictors and the two components of cultural adaptive performance (CAP): learning behaviors and integrating behaviors. Drawing on the cross-cultural performance literature, a number of knowledge and skills that have been hypothesized as being important predictors of cross-cultural performance were evaluated. A total of 104 U.S. Army Special Operations students going through a field training exercise involving cross-cultural interactions participated in this research. A number of hypotheses were supported, with cognitive, metacognitive, and the motivational dimensions of cultural intelligence (CQ) and respect for cultural differences being predictors of learning component of CAP. Behavioral CQ, and cross-cultural schemas were found to be predictors of the integrating component of CAP.
