description This study examines the applicability of Chen and Starosta’s model of intercultural sensitivity in Malaysian culture using university student samples. A total of 447 randomly selected undergraduate students of a multicultural public university completed self-administered questionnaires. The study could not reproduce the five-factor structure formulated by Chen and Starosta.
