Summary: | We investigate the relationships between risk orientation, need for control and openness, on the one hand, and cultural intelligence on the other hand.

Finally, we also find our French respondents had a higher cultural intelligence than our American respondents, raising interesting questions for future research. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
