Abstract

Intercultural communication has attracted many researchers with globalization. According to Chen and Starosta who are best known in intercultural communication studies in the U.S.A. intercultural communication can be explored from three perspectives: cognitive, emotion and behaviors. The studies of intercultural sensitivity and intercultural effectiveness are emotional and behavioral aspects respectively. This paper is to explore the correlation between intercultural sensitivity and intercultural effectiveness, beginning with defining the concepts. College students' intercultural sensitivity and intercultural effectiveness scales are researched and analyzed. It is concluded that there is a positive correlation between intercultural sensitivity and intercultural effectiveness in micro-interaction contexts. Suggestions are given to improve students' intercultural sensitivity and intercultural effectiveness.
