Cultural intelligence (CQ) is defined as individual's ability to contact with people from other cultures effectively. The structure and measurement of cultural intelligence, the relationship between cultural intelligence and other constructs, and various development methods of cultural intelligence have become hot topics in present researches. Additionally, some empirical studies have consistently found the influence of cultural intelligence on some important variables, such as cognitive outcomes, affective outcomes, and behavioral outcomes.
