Title of Work	Acculturative Adaptation and Friendship in Chinese International Students
Author	Jiun-Wei Wu
Scholarship Group	Masters Scholarship
Summary of Work	Although Chinese students are an important source to universities in the United States, the emotional impact of their sojourning experience may be ignored and unacknowledged. This study will explore the personal experiences of Chinese international students to understand their acculturative adaptation process while studying in the United States, and the relationship between their acculturative adaptation and host friendship network. The participants are 25 Chinese students currently studying in a Midwestern university in the United States ranging in age from 20 to 25-years-old with 15 being men and 10 being women. This study is interested in two research questions: (a) what difficulties did these Chinese students experience in the acculturative adaptation process while studying in the United States, and (b) what is the relationship between their acculturative adaptation and host friendship network. The data collection includes a written questionnaire, personal interview, and researcher observation and will be analyzed qualitatively to capture the personal perception of these participants. Understanding the experiences of Chinese international students attending universities in the United States has important implications for creating and implementing programs which include the provision for appropriate academic and personal support services. Keywords: Chinese international students, acculturative adaptation, host friendship.
