Nowadays youth are fascinated towards various job offerings that leads to increased global mobility in turn had high possibilities of cultural conflicts. Cultural intelligence is an essential aspect to uplift individual’s flexibility and stability across culture. Generally, individuals expressed their cultural intelligence through its psycho social determinants such as personality traits, communication styles, value orientation and perceived parenting styles which were theoretically interlinked as well as a sense of group belongingness initiated during adolescence. Therefore, an attempt is made here to explore the relationships between cultural intelligence, personality traits, communication styles, value orientation and perceived parenting styles among adolescents. Cluster sampling technique was used to select the participants. A survey was conducted with 480 adolescents in and around Salem city was collected. Results revealed that introvert/ambivert adolescents experiencing positive parenting, exhibit higher value orientation and communication were predicted to have higher cultural intelligence. This study would be helpful for teachers to understand adolescents’ individual differences and accordingly modify their teaching behaviour. Imparting cultural intelligence among adolescents would heighten the sense of group belongingness, that show drastic effects in future global economy.
