abstract = {This article reflects part of the results obtained from a wider research project
aimed at the elaboration of a “Map of Good Intercultural Practices” in several areas of
Social Intervention in Andalusia (Spain) and reports the results obtained from the
analysis portion related to the participating projects within the Social Services.
Intercultural assessment was conducted at the level of institutional intervention through
a 32-item questionnaire that was sent to 139 intercultural project-leading institutions,
but also considered the intercultural sensitivity factor of the individuals answering the
questionnaire. A definition of the fundamental concepts of “Interculturality” and “Good
Practice” is given to support the foundations of “Good Intercultural Practice” (GIP).
Such definitions help in the design and validation of a GIP Scale that was used in the
analysis of 60 Social Services Projects with an intercultural component. The results
obtained underline the relevance of aspects such as intercultural empathy and show
significant differences between the Social Services and other intervention sectors. The
relevance of this study relies on the future posibility to find an explanation to such
differencesand to study GIPs in other intervention sectors. With respect to this, the
private sector offers a completely blank area of research both in itself and in comparson
with the results obtained from the public one. Also, the transferability of the
instruments and methodology used makes it possible that the research presented in the
present article is conducted in other geographical area.},
