This study, based on a survey of 419 young adults, found out that high levels of individuals' intercultural communication sensitivity and multiculturalism are significant predictors of reducing individuals' ethnocentrism. As a leading country in diversity, equality and democracy, the United States is highly expected to continue its leading position to appreciate cultural diversity and respect ethnic/cultural identities. The results suggest that promoting intercultural communication sensitivity and multiculturalism is the critical measure to overcome ethnocentrism and reduce conflicts among intergroup interactions. Limitation and suggestions for future research are provided. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
