Over the past three decades, the population of international
students throughout the world has steadily increased. Although
university students choose to study in locations other than their
home country for a variety of reasons, including professional
development and disciplinary training, nearly all education abroad
programs have intercultural learning as a central goal. In this
Element, perspectives derived from cross-cultural psychological
research are applied to an investigation of the effectiveness of
study abroad as a mechanism for intercultural learning.
Effectiveness is broadly defined and includes not only overall
favorable program outcomes, such as gains in intercultural skills,
knowledge, attitudes, and awareness, but also a recognition that
study abroad experiences and outcomes may vary depending upon
participants' diverse and intersectional identities. Best practices
for facilitating intercultural learning through study abroad are
identified and strategies are outlined for addressing the
methodological challenges of research in this area.
