- Cultural intelligence is defined as an individual’s capability to function and manage effectively in culturally diverse settings, and it includes four aspects: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioral cultural intelligence. The majority of studies investigating antecedents of cultural intelligence have included a measure of international experience and/or cultural exposure. While some studies have indicated that international experience and cultural exposure are associated with higher cultural intelligence, the associations were not found in all studies and for all aspects. We conducted two studies to examine the associations of international experience and cultural exposure with cultural intelligence in the Croatian context. In the first study data were collected for 93 high-school students who reported the number of visited countries as a measure of international experience and cultural exposure, and were divided into two groups with a median split. In the second study data were collected for 482 university students who were divided into two groups based on their intention to study abroad. In both studies cultural intelligence aspects were measured with The Cultural Intelligence Scale. Differences in cultural intelligence aspects were examined between the groups formed to capture international experience and cultural exposure differences. In study 1, high-school students who visited more countries had higher cultural intelligence scores in metacognitive (t = 2.46, p = .016, d = 0.51) and cognitive (t = 2.76, p = .007, d = 0.57) aspects, while differences were not found for motivational (t = 1.33, p = .189, d = 0.28) and behavioral (t = 0.61, p = .546, d = 0.13) aspects. In study 2, students who intended or already had an experience of studying abroad had higher cultural intelligence in metacognitive (t = 4.61, p < .001, d = 0.45), cognitive (t = 2.33, p = .020, d = 0.23), motivational (t = 7.64, p < .001, d = 0.74) and behavioral (t = 3.12, p = .002, d = 0.29) aspects. Results of our studies indicate that differences in international experience and cultural exposure are associated with differences in cultural intelligence aspects, but that these findings are not consistent for different types of international experiences, and in different groups of participants.
