dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to look at the uncertainty management and social-emotional competences of students at a university context to see if these are predictors of students’ international posture. The data was collected from a sample of 214 students enrolled in an English Preparatory School at a university context in the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year through three scales, including Uncertainty Management (UMS), Social-Emotional Foreign Language Learning (SEFLLS), and Students International Posture Scale (IPS). The results yielded that there was a meaningful and positive relationship between the three variables. Moreover, it was shown that 48.3 % of the variability in the students’ international posture variable could be explained by the variables of uncertainty management and social-emotional competences through linear regression. Regarding the path analysis, it was revealed that social-emotional competences could predict the international posture levels of students whereas uncertainty management indirectly affects university students’ sense of international posture through social-emotional competences. The analysis concerning gender revealed that female students’ UM, SEFLL, and IP levels were significantly higher than males. It can be concluded that if institutions empower learners’ social emotional competences and uncertainty management skills, they will be more equipped to flourish in diverse cultures.
