The study also investigated the students intercultural sensitivity level according to some variables such as gender, age, major and grade.

The scale had also a separate part including students demographic information. The data were collected through a face- to-face survey in spring term in 2022. They were firstly coded and then analyzed through SPSS 20. Additionally, t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were conducted. The results of the study indicated that students respect for cultural differences and interaction enjoyment level was found to be very high while interaction attentiveness, interaction engagement and interaction confidence levels were high. Moreover, it appeared that such variables as gender, age, major and grade did not influence students intercultural sensitivity perceptions.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiyede bir devlet üniversitesinde Aşçılık ve Turizm ve Otel İşletmeciliği bölümlerinde okuyan önlisans öğrencilerinin kültürlerarası duyarlılık düzeylerini belirlemektir. Çalışma ayrıca öğrencilerin kültürlerarası duyarlılık düzeylerini cinsiyet, yaş, bölüm ve sınıf gibi bazı değişkenlere göre de araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla öğrencilerin kültürlerarası duyarlılık düzeylerini ölçmek için nicel veri toplama aracı olarak Öğüt ve Olkun 2018 tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Kültürlerarası Duyarlılık Ölçeği Chen  Starosta, 2000 uygulanmıştır. Ölçekte öğrencilerin demografik bilgilerinin yer aldığı ayrı bir bölüm de bulunmaktadır. Veriler 2022 bahar döneminde yüz yüze anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler önce kodlanmış, ardından SPSS 20 ile analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca t-testi ve tek yönlü ANOVA testleri yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öğrencilerin kültürel farklılıklara saygı duyma ve etkileşimden hoşlanma düzeylerinin çok yüksek olduğunu ve etkileşime dikkat, etkileşimde bulunma ve etkileşime güven düzeylerinin ise yüksek düzeyde olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca cinsiyet, yaş, bölüm ve sınıf gibi değişkenlerin öğrencilerin kültürlerarası duyarlılık algılarını etkilemediği ortaya çıkmıştır.
