Impact of Study Abroad on Intercultural Sensitivity
In collaboration with 91影视鈥檚 Office of Planning and Institutional Research, a pre- and post-study was conducted on our study abroad participants to measure the impact of the study abroad experience on students鈥 intercultural sensitivity. When comparing the pre- and post-surveys, two items were found to have significant changes. Those changes were 鈥淚 can be as sociable as I want to be when interacting with people from different cultures,鈥 and 鈥淚 tend to wait before forming an impression of culturally-distinct counterparts.鈥 Of the students that participated in the research, 50% of them had never traveled outside the United States prior to the study abroad trip. In the open-ended question about civic or community involvement, students reported interest in volunteering in the following areas: hospitals, dental clinics, Tulsa City-County Library, voice for Study Abroad, child development, arts, language club, cultural event activities, hosting an exchange student, parks and recreation, and colleges.
