ABSTRACT
At their core, interpersonal and cultural adaptability includes an ability to acceptingly see and feel comfortable with shades of gray, non-judgmentally accept
have an openness to modify one’s behavior, attitudes, and frame of mind as appropriate (Pulakos et al., 2000). A cornerstone of adaptability and thus cultural competence, the focus of this paper, is psychological flexibility. Being culturally competent implies a style of interacting with people and a way of approaching problems or situations that is characterized by a propensity to flexibility.
