재한 중국인 유학생의 문화적응 스트레스가 심리적 안녕감과 학업적응에 미치는 영향

초록

This study examined the direct and indirect influences of Chinese international students’ acculturative stress on psychological well-being and academic adjustment in Korea. The final sample consisted of 363 Chinese international students surveyed from 17 universities in Korea. Findings showed that Chinese international students with more Korean friends had less acculturative stress (i.e., perceived discrimination, homesickness, perceived hate, guilt, and miscellaneous), psychological well-being (i.e, self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environment mastery, purpose in life, personal growth) and higher academic adjustment (i.e, motivation, application, performance and academic environment) than those with more Chinese friends. Moreover, it was found that acculturative stress had a direct negative effect on both psychological well-being and academic adjustment. Also, acculturative stress had a indirect negative effect on academic adjustment. Results are discussed in relation to theoretical implications in school settings.
