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. 

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.
