Abstract
The article provides a theoretical conceptualization of the ethnopsychological aspects of international academic mobility, which serves as a key form of internationalization in higher education, facilitating unique intercultural experiences for students and faculty. The paper outlines the interconnections between international academic mobility, communicative and intercultural competence, as well as the ethnopsychological context. Particular attention is given to the examples of operationalizing the concept of «intercultural competence», which is significant for future empirical research. The analysis includes ethnopsychological factors such as stereotypes, cultural differences, and adaptation difficulties, etc. that impact the effectiveness of international mobility. Recommendations are presented to minimize the negative influence of these factors, which could significantly enhance the integration process for participants of international mobility programmes and reduce the likelihood of conflicts while having intercultural communication. The conclusions of the research emphasize the necessity of recognizing the ethnopsychological factors that influence participants' adaptation, communication, and overall learning effectiveness. The recommendations presented pertain to a deeper analysis of ethnopsychological factors in various regional contexts, examining the impact of intercultural training on adaptation, as well as the integration of language support into educational programmes.
