The Handbook of Advances in Culture and Psychology (2015) is part of the first annual series presenting new research in the burgeoning filed of culture and psychology. The fifty page chapter on cultural intelligence describes the development of the CQ research, including the initial focus on the main effects at the individual level to recent research on more complete, multilevel models. The authors present the benefits of different approaches for measuring CQ, such as self-report, observer-report, and performance-based measurements.
Individuals interested in reviewing the growing body of CQ research and academics who are embarking on their own CQ research projects will benefit from reading this comprehensive overview written by the pioneering researchers in the cultural intelligence work.
