“…For example, dogmatic nursing staff displayed more negative attitudes or viewed culturally diverse patient groups as more annoying and superstitious than those who were less dogmatic [33]. Additionally, dogmatic students are less willing to listen, and have lower receptivity and tolerance towards teaching instructors who were from CALD communities [58, 59]. These attitudes and behaviours are contrary to the personal attributes that are considered essential for developing culturally responsive practice [34, 54, 60].…”

Background Ensuring physiotherapy students are well prepared to work safely and effectively in culturally diverse societies upon graduation is vital. Therefore, determining whether physiotherapy programs are effectively developing the cultural responsiveness of students is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness of entry level physiotherapy students during their training, and explore the factors that might be associated with these levels. Methods A cross sectional study of physiotherapy students from nine universities across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire containing three parts: The Cultural Competence Assessment tool, Altemeyer’s Dogmatism scale, and the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability scale- short form. Demographic data relating to university, program, and level of study were also collected. Data was analysed using one-way ANOVA, t-tests and multiple regression analysis. Results A total of 817 (19% response rate) students participated in this study. Overall, students had a moderate level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness (Mean (SD) = 5.15 (0.67)). Fewer number of weeks of clinical placement attended, lower levels of dogmatism, and greater social desirability were related to greater self-perceived cultural responsiveness. Additionally, fourth year undergraduate students perceived themselves to be less culturally responsive than first and second year students ( p < 0.05). Conclusions These results provide educators with knowledge about the level of self-perceived cultural responsiveness in physiotherapy students, and the factors that may need to be assessed and addressed to support the development of culturally responsive practice.

“…Researchers have discovered that RA is positively associated to attentiveness (e.g., Roberts & Vinson, 1998), attitude formation (e.g., Wolvin & Coakley, 1994) and information processing (e.g., Beatty, 1981). Beatty, Behnke, and Henderson (1980) found a positive relationship between RA and how participants felt while listening to confrontational material.…”

“…As he suggested 'the original form of WTC is mainly focused on speaking and writing abilities' (p. 130). Current WTC scales lack the items to measure listening dimension which is defined as one of the crucial parts of communication (Roberts & Vinson, 1998). Regarding this lack, it is impossible to infer the relationship between willingness to listen (WTL), attitude and motivation in L2 from current research which employs WTC structure.…”

The aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between the attitudes and motivation of EFL learners and their willingness to listen (WTL); possible effects of age and gender on EFL learners’ WTL, attitude and motivation. A quantitative study was designed in which 239 participants, intermediate level EFL learners at a public university, took a set of instruments, namely a reduced version of the AMTB, mini-AMTB, and WTL scale in Likert type. The participants were also asked to specify their gender and age during data collection procedure. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.0. Percentage and frequency analyses, independent samples t-test, Kruskal Wallis H test, Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis were employed in data analysis phase. The results of the study showed that gender affects EFL learners’ attitudes and motivation while age has no effect on attitudes and motivation; also it was found that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between mini-AMTB and WTL scores of the participants. According to the findings of the current study the predictive power of mini-AMTB of WTL has been found statistically meaningful. The findings have revealed that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between mini-AMTB and WTL scores of the participants. Gender affects EFL learners’ attitudes and motivation as female participants’ mini-AMTB scores were found higher than those of male participants. Also a meaningful relationship between mini-AMTB and WTL has been found according to regression analysis. The paper concludes with implications for further research to investigate the WTL in various contexts with other personal variables.
