摘要

This research seeks to construct a scale of perceptions on interculturality among higher education stakeholders by reviewing, adapting, and reconstructing the instruments used in the publications analyzed between 2020 and 2025. The inclusion criteria for selecting publications contemplate that the subjects studied be represented by university professors, lecturers, and students, in the year of publication, covering the period between 2020 and 2025, with a minimum of 18 citations. The databases of the scientific journals consulted include Scielo and Google Scholar. Among the results, the coincidence in the use of the Likert-type scale in the reviewed articles stands out, covering both even and odd-numbered scales. The importance of the most widely used pioneering instruments is highlighted: The Questionnaire of Attitudes Toward Interculturality (CAI), the Scale of Attitudes Toward Cultural Diversity (EADC), the Fantini Intercultural Competence Scale, and the Scale of Attitudes Toward Intercultural Edu- cation (EAEI). The construction of the “Perceptions towards Interculturality in Higher Education”, composed of seven dimensions: Negative Intentions, Positive Intentions, Positive Beliefs, Negative Beliefs, Negative Emotions, Positive Behaviors and Support Capacity, of 3 items each, totaling 21 in the instrument. The neutral wording of each item seeks to avoid bias in the responses.
