Abstract

Communication is viewed as the major underlying process as well as an outcome of the acculturation process. Intercultural communication takes place when individuals influenced by different cultural communities negotiate shared meanings in interaction. This article concludes with an assessment of communication variables contributing to acculturation among sojourners. Three casual factors: language fluency (LF), acculturation motivation (AM), and interaction potential (IP) were tested in relation to one another against the originally hypothesized assumptions and the path model. In explaining and predicting sojourners communication behaviors simple correlation, multiple regression, and path analysis were employed. It was found in the present study that interaction potential with host society was shown to be the primary causal factor of the three in facilitating intercultural communication.
