Intercultural Adjustment Potential Scale (ICAPS-55)

The Intercultural Adjustment Potential Scale (ICAPS) is a validated test that measures four important psychological skills associated with successful intercultural adaptation and adjustment. Years of scientific research have shown that the four skills measured by the ICAPS are some of the most important predictors of not only adaptation and adjustment across cultures, but also adaptation and adjustment within a society or culture (intracultural adaptation and adjustment). Thus, it’s a great tool to use to measure adjustment potential in general, whether going abroad, interacting with people from different cultures, or working within one’s own society and culture.

Display Rule Assessment Inventory (DRAI)


Cultural display rules are rules learned early in childhood that help individuals manage and modify their emotional expressions depending on social circumstances (Ekman & Friesen, 1969). The concept of cultural display rules is arguably one of the most important in the study of culture and emotion; they provide valuable information on cultural differences in emotional expression.

IC is an important dimension of psychological variation between cultural groups.
