AB - This study investigated the relation between multicultural receptivity and civility/citizenship characteristics among different grade cohorts using higher order regression model. Survey data were collected from cohorts of elementary school 4th graders and middle school 1st graders over two years. Our findings include the following: (1) In the case of elementary 5th graders, controlling for gender, parental education, oversea travelling experience with parents, hours spent for reading, civility and citizenship values, academic achievement showed statistically significant relationship with multicultural receptivity score. (2) In the case of middle school cohort, parental education, overseas travelling experience were not statistically significant, but the effects of gender and hours spent for reading, civility(civic) and citizenship values on multicultural receptivity were statistically significant. (3) Compared to elementary 4th grade cohorts, 1st year middle school cohort’s level of civility and citizenship values and multicultural receptivity scores were low. (4) Female students in the middle school cohort scored higher in multicultural receptivity than male students, but the effect of hours spent for reading was very small. (5) The cohorts’1st year scores seem to predict the 2nd year multicultural receptivity both at the elementary and middle school levels. Specifically, with the first-year middle school cohort, overseas travelling experience and civility and citizenship values were statistically significant predictors of multicultural receptivity. (6) Finally, in the case of the middle-school cohort, gender and the 2nd year civic and citizenship values were also statistically significant. We suggest that in depth studies to enhance civility and citizenship values and multicultural receptivity are needed.
