- Abstract
- Biblical evidence and sojourner research suggest that intercultural sensitivity and boldness are relevant intercultural competencies for missionaries. The author evaluated the development of these traits in seven Brazilian seminarians during a four-week missions internship in Paraguay. Self-reporting, participant observation, national informant observations, and pre- and post-internship testing involving the Intercultural Competency Scale were used for evaluation. Two control groups were also utilized. Few students evidenced growth in intercultural sensitivity. The internship apparently deflated the cultural expectations of others. Considerable growth was noted in adventuresomeness, though not verbal boldness. Longer internships or trips with different purposes may produce greater growth.
