Being sensitive to diverse cultures and having an international posture as a global citizen are important for the essence of intercultural communication. Meanwhile, being motivated or regulated to decrease or overcome the anxiety though enhance one's intercultural sensitivity and global awareness is extremely crucial for engaging in successful intercultural communication. The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between self-regulatory focus (promotion focus, and prevention focus), intercultural sensitivity, global awareness, and intercultural communication apprehension of Japanese, Chinese, and American students. A total of 583 university students (198 Japanese, 192 Chinese, and 193 American) completed the online survey including Regulatory Focus Questionnaire (RFQ), Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS), Global Awareness Scale (GAS), and the Personal Report of Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale (PRICA). Results indicated that Chinese students had significantly lower promotion focus than American. Japanese and Chinese students had a significantly higher level of prevention focus than American. Japanese students had a significantly higher level of intercultural communication apprehension, followed by Chinese and American. Chinese students' intercultural communication apprehension was much higher than American students. Intercultural sensitivity of American students was much higher than Chinese and Japanese. Further, Chinese students' intercultural sensitivity was significantly higher than Japanese. American students revealed considerably higher global awareness than both Japanese and Chinese. promotion focus, intercultural sensitivity, and global awareness were negatively related to intercultural communication apprehension in all three countries. Promotion focus, intercultural sensitivity, and global awareness were positively associated with each other in each country group. Prevention focus was negatively related to intercultural communication apprehension in China, and negatively related to global awareness in America. Prevention focus was positively related to intercultural sensitivity and global awareness in China. In China, promotion focus mediated the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and intercultural communication apprehension. Promotion focus also mediated the relationship between global awareness and intercultural communication apprehension in all three countries. These results were discussed from the perspective of the necessity of both Japanese and Chinese students to become more competent at cross-cultural interaction in the gradually internationalizing and multicultural societies.
