q2 · i? · the article prints no effect size for this finding · associational · r1

Survey study validating three measurement models via PLS-SEM with 171 students at Van Lang University, Vietnam. The abstract-level conclusion states the original scale 'could be employed in the context of developing countries' with adjustments to two components.

"The result of data analysis suggested that the original scale (which was designed for the context of developed countries) could be employed in the context of developing countries. Nevertheless, some adjustments should be made in term of social responsibility and global competence."

• Only two intercultural communication items (IC1, IC2) were removed from the global competence model, attributed to limited intercultural exposure — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The global civic activism measurement model was fully valid with no items removed, appearing valid across contexts — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
