      abstract = {How do students' experiences relate to civic virtues and  how do these experiences have their effect? The current  research uses studying abroad – an extracurricular activity  that requires collaboration in living and exposure to  different cultures  – to examine this question. In addition  to investigating changes in civic virtue, the current study  also examines the differential relationships of study  abroad to civic virtue by gender. This study measured  civility and civic engagement as proxy variables of civic  virtue to assess whether the experience of studying abroad  is related to increases in students’ civic virtue. In  addition, variables – such as empathy and cultural  competence – are also used to measure students’ psychology  related to civic virtue. One hundred and twenty-one college  students from the University of Chicago completed surveys  before and after their study abroad experiences to measure  changes in these variables related to civic virtue. The  results indicate that study abroad is significantly related  to changes in civility, empathy, and cultural competence  regardless of gender.},
