Values, intercultural sensitivity, and uncertainty management: a cross-cultural investigation of motivational profiles.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Personal values function as core motivational forces shaping cognition and behavior. However, the interaction between these values, intercultural sensitivity, and intolerance of uncertainty across cultures has received limited empirical attention. This study investigates how these constructs combine to form distinct motivational profiles among university students in South Korea and the United States. Methods: Using a person-centered latent profile analysis (LPA), we identified value configurations among South Korean (N = 517) and U.S. (N = 431) undergraduates. Participants completed the Portrait Values Questionnaire-Revised Revised (PVQ-RR), Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Short Form (IUS-12). Multinomial logistic regression identified predictors of profile membership. Results: Among Korean students, five value profiles emerged: Integrative Traditionalists (41%), Low Tradition Endorsement (24.2%), Change-Oriented (21.1%), Low Tradition/High Openness (17.5%), and Tradition-Oriented (21.8%). The U.S. sample revealed four profiles: Growth-Oriented (24.8%), Broad Value Endorsement (21.8%), Security-Focused (35.0%), and Low Tradition Endorsement (18.3%). Across both samples, higher intercultural engagement and confidence predicted membership in growth-oriented profiles, while elevated inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and lower engagement characterized tradition- or security-focused profiles. Gender effects appeared only in Korea, where women demonstrated greater likelihood of belonging to tradition-oriented groups. Discussion: These findings challenge assumptions about the incompatibility between tradition and openness values in Schwartz's framework. Cultural tightness and individual psychological dispositions appear to jointly shape motivational value integration. The results have implications for designing culturally responsive interventions that enhance intercultural competence and promote adaptive value systems in diverse educational settings.
