Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to examine students' intercultural sensitivity, define the dimensioning on the basis of the factorial analysis, examine metric characteristics of validity and Scale instrument reliability for measuring the intercultural sensitivity and evaluate the instrument usage on the selected sample. The reliability of the scale has been verified by applying the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient while the validity has been tested with factorial analysis. The results obtained on our sample show that the tested instrument is reliable (α = ,794) and that omitting any of the statements wouldn't affect the increase of the scale reliability. Besides, the scale reliability was proven by applying the factorial analysis using the Bartlett's sphericity test and Kajzer-Majer-Olkin's (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy. While the KMO is .828 and Bartlett's indicator for statistical significance of correlation matrix (χ² = 1358,180; df= 276; sig.=,000) proves the adequacy of data to undergo factorial analysis which has given seven factorial dimensions of students' intercultural sensitivity: enjoyment, attention, respect, satisfaction, encouragement, trust and engagement.
