This book provides a comprehensive review of both the theoretical
development and empirical study of the concept of cultural
intelligence. A review of previous work on cross-cultural
competence provides an historical backdrop against which the two
main theories of cultural intelligence are presented. These two
approaches, as well as the assessments derived from them, are
compared and evaluated. Issues associated with the measurement of
cultural intelligence are examined in detail. An important feature
of the review of the empirical work on cultural intelligence is
that results are discussed in terms of the relationship of the four
sub dimensions of the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) and also
that results using the Short Form Cultural Intelligence Scale
(SFCQ) and other measures of the concept are included. The review
of empirical work includes studies that cast cultural intelligence
as an antecedent, as a dependent variable, and as a moderator and a
mediator. Cultural intelligence at the group and organizational
levels are also discussed. Finally, this review sets the stage for
a discussion of appropriate future directions in the study of
cultural intelligence. Scholars in organizational psychology
interested in the concept of cultural intelligence will find this
an essential guide.

Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die
theoretische Entwicklung und empirische Untersuchung des Konzepts
der kulturellen Intelligenz. Ein Überblick über frühere Arbeiten
zur interkulturellen Kompetenz bildet den historischen Hintergrund,
vor dem die beiden wichtigsten Theorien zur kulturellen Intelligenz
vorgestellt werden. Diese beiden Ansätze sowie die aus ihnen
abgeleiteten Beurteilungen werden verglichen und bewertet. Fragen
im Zusammenhang mit der Messung kultureller Intelligenz werden
eingehend untersucht. Ein wichtiges Merkmal des Überblicks über
die empirischen Arbeiten zur kulturellen Intelligenz besteht darin,
dass die Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf die Beziehung zwischen den vier
Unterdimensionen der Skala der kulturellen Intelligenz (CQS)
diskutiert werden und dass auch Ergebnisse unter Verwendung der
Kurzform der Skala der kulturellen Intelligenz (SFCQ) und anderer
Maße für das Konzept einbezogen werden. Der Überblick über die
empirische Arbeit umfasst Studien, die kulturelle Intelligenz als
Vorläufer, als abhängige Variable, als Moderator und als Mediator
betrachten. Kulturelle Intelligenz auf Gruppen- und
Organisationsebene wird ebenfalls diskutiert. Schließlich bildet
dieser Überblick die Grundlage für eine Diskussion über
geeignete künftige Richtungen bei der Untersuchung der kulturellen
Intelligenz. Für Wissenschaftler der Organisationspsychologie, die
sich für das Konzept der kulturellen Intelligenz interessieren,
ist dieses Buch ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden.Â
During the early modern period in England, social expectations for
men came under extreme pressure; the armed knight went into decline
and humanism appeared. Here, original essays analyze a wide-range
of violent acts in early modern literature and culture - everything
from civic violence to chivalric combat; from verbal attacks to
masochistic suffering; from political assassination to personal
retaliation; and from brawls to battles. In so doing, they
interrogate the seemingly inevitable connection between masculinity
and aggression, placing it in a specific historical context and
showing how differences of status, ethnicity, and sexual identity
inform masculine ideals.
Let's Just Agree to Disagree is a one-of-a-kind book that will help
with the line of communication within a relationship. Too often we
refuse to confront certain issues that could make or break a
relationship. This book will provide an insight on how to broach
those subject matters. Our goal is for you and your partner to be
totally open and honest with each other, even though you don't
agree on a specific topic. There is light at the end of the tunnel,
if you just agree to disagree.
