Article Title: The integrated model of intercultural communication competence (IMICC): Model test
Abstract: Research in intercultural communication competence (ICC) has been focused over the years on the development of models that identify the variables that influence, as well as the processes that contribute to, ICC. This study introduces a comprehensive test of an ICC model, namely the Integrated Model of Intercultural Communication Competence (IMICC); this stems from a line of research involving the use of an emic approach to develop a model of ICC that incorporates multiple cultural perspectives into its construction. The IMICC was empirically tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results generally support the model. The implications of IMICC are discussed.
