Abstract

This narrative review examines how critical thinking functions as the cognitive foundation ofintercultural competence in the context of globalization. Across major intercultural competence models and recentempirical studies, critical thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, interpretation, and self-regulationconsistently align with the cognitive processes required for cultural reasoning, bias monitoring, and adaptivejudgment. Evidence shows that critical thinking enhances perspective-taking, reduces stereotyping, and supportsreflective, flexible engagement in diverse cultural environments.
