Annotation

This paper presents that language mindsets affect migrants’ experience of intercultural interaction and cultural adaptation via language-based rejection sensitivity (RS) (i.e. the bent to anxiously await rejection from native speakers due to a language skill lack). Data stem from two studies covering 292 English L2-speakers in Canada.
