ABSTRACT
The study, based on a survey of 419 young adults, found that social intelligence can help reduce individuals' level of ethnocentrism. This finding suggests that increasing individuals' social intelligence could help promote mutual respect, active listening and might lead to intercultural collaboration success. Intercultural collaboration is expected to bring great benefits to people, groups and countries around the world while more challenges are expected to come along. This study takes a step to seek predicting variables to promote mutual respect and participation in intercultural collaboration. Limitations and suggestions for future research are provided.
