A Factor Analytic Study of the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory

Susan L. Davis

Sara J. Finney

James Madison University

The Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI) was developed as a tool to assess an individual's effectiveness in cross-cultural interaction and communication. Because limited validity evidence had been published regarding the CCAI, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of CCAI scores, specifically focusing on the replicability of the proposed four-factor structure. This study is based on responses from a sample of 709, primarily Caucasian, college sophomores at a mid-Atlantic university. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated poor fit of the four-factor structure and follow-up exploratory factor analyses failed to reveal an interpretable structure. Possible explanations of poor fit are discussed, and recommendations for further research are suggested.

Key Words: Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI) • dimensionality • measurement • factor analysis
