Arasaratnam, Lily A., Marya L. Doerfel. "Intercultural communication competence: Identifying key components form multicultural perspectives." International Journal of Intercultural Relations. 29.2 (2005): 137-163. Electronic.

This article presents a way of selecting variables that effect intercultural communication competence that can be translated into different cultures. By integrating different theories in social psychology, interpersonal communication, and anthropology, this article meshes past research into a flexible model. Using interview answers, the author define what intercultural communication entails (namely listening skills, having a global outlook, and visual cues). 


Because this article provides a definition of intercultural communication, it provides a helpful addition to my annotated sources. This provides a more specific definition to help me narrower down my project ideas.
