Ramos, Karen A.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northern Kentucky University
This study is to inform the international enrollment management profession of the cultural competency skills of professionals in the field who actively recruit international student to study at institutions of higher education in the United States. Grounded in theory by Bennett's (1986) Developmental Model for Intercultural Competency, I employed the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) developed by Hammer (2012) to measure the intercultural competence of 75 international enrollment professionals in the United States. The IDI places respondents on a continuum of five progressive worldview orientations ranging from Denial to Adaptation on the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC). After completing the IDI, five individuals representative of each worldview orientation completed a follow-up qualitative interview. The mean developmental score of the population was within Minimization. Between 80.1 and 95.3% of the sample overestimated their level of intercultural competence.
