“…As depicted in Table 1, mean values for self-efficacy types were relatively low compared to anxiety types, and personality factor scores were highest for Neuroticism and Openness to Experience. Replicating prior studies with the respective psychometric instruments, reliability coefficients were high for all study variables (Apple, 2011;Toyama and Yamazaki, 2018;Kabir and Sponseller, 2020). As shown in with correlation coefficients that were notably higher than those observed for university students in Kabir and Sponseller (2020) [L-SE and SEIC, r(77) = 0.42, p < 0.001; S-SE and SEIC, r(77) = 0.28, p < 0.001], as seen in Table 4.…”

“…Self-efficacy in intercultural communication-Japanese (Peterson et al, 2011; Japanese version by Kabir and Sponseller, 2020) The SEIC-SF is an 8-item measure that summarizes a domain of self-efficacy as it relates to intercultural communication (e.g., sample item, "How well can you communicate in impromptu situations?"). Previous research on the SEIC-SF by Kabir and Sponseller (2020) extended the original work of Peterson et al (2011) by establishing cross-cultural validity and measurement invariance across samples of sojourning English teachers in Japan, Japanese teachers of English, and Japanese university students. A sixpoint Likert scale ranging from 1 ("I definitely cannot do this") to 6 ("I can do this very well") was used, with all points on the scale semantically labeled.…”

IntroductionResearch on self–efficacy in intercultural communication (SEIC) provided validity evidence for second language (L2) self-efficacy domains. However, it lacked (1) an analysis of individual differences in personality as antecedents, (2) divergent validity from anxiety variables (i.e., foreign language classroom anxiety; FLCA), and (3) disambiguation from speaking (S-SE) and listening (L-SE) skill-specific self-efficacy types.MethodsWe conducted structural equation modeling of L2 self-efficacy and anxiety as response variables predicted by the Big Five model of personality in the context of Japanese undergraduate students at three university sites (n = 373), and a geographically diverse online survey of emerging adults (n = 1,326) throughout Japan.ResultsThe final model for the nationally representative sample showed that SEIC was predicted by all identified personality factors. Differentially supported paths were observed linking L-SE with Conscientiousness (β = 0.24) and Extraversion (β = 0.16), and S-SE with Extraversion (β = 0.24) and Neuroticism (β = −0.12). The fear of failure factor of FLCA was predicted positively by Neuroticism (β = 0.25) and, surprisingly, Conscientiousness (β = 0.10), and negatively by Extraversion (β = −0.13). Relationships to Openness to Experience were only supported for SEIC (β = 0.17) and S-SE (β = 0.12).DiscussionThese findings provide specificity matching for personality and L2 self-efficacy domains as empirical advances for assessing global competence within the context of Japan. Implications for cultural influences on self-efficacy and applied educational practices in language and intercultural learning are discussed.

“…Therefore, the practice of real Russian life has forced the people to unequivocally speak out in favor of conservatism. Without questioning the choice made in favour of a market economy, private property and entrepreneurship, the voters voted for a strong state to set the "rules of the game" (Kabir & Sponseller, 2020). Such a state, like Hobbes ' Leviathan, must protect the human right to life and legally acquired property by any means.…”

“…Pupil ᾿s self-efficiency covers their professional and personal language goals and depends on motivation to use practical language skills when it is required in a real world. The applied linguistics with interactive pedagogical technologies, first of all -integrated learning, can provide the basis for their communicative interactions, opportunities for changes in the Ego-concept, the development of intercultural communication (Kabir & Sponseller, 2020;Yashima et al, 2004;Wildeman et al, 2021).…”

The article is devoted to the analysis of theoretical and methodological foundations of the study with the problem of forming a communicative competence of the individual. Here we are considering a psychological content of the concept of “communicative competence”, its structural components and functions, as well as a today’s approach to the formation of communication competence of the individual. It is emphasized an important influence of integrative learning and interactive methods for the formation of communicative competence. It is noted the interdependence of communicative culture and communicative competence. Also it is noted a mutual understanding between the interlocutors as the foundation of business or interpersonal communication and the psychological condition of activation the communicative competence in any communicative interaction. The significance of the study the mechanisms of activating communicative competence to optimize conflict practices and professional training of specialists are proved. The psychological and pedagogical recommendations for the formation of communicative competence of the individual are developed. It is noted that current means of forming communicative competence must be focused on all structural components of the individual, since their interconnection with communicative experience is a personal-communicative formation as a psychological instrument for achieving social requests respectively.
