▼ As an international phenomenon, school bullying negatively impacts children, adolescents, and young adults all over the world. In China, bullying problem has drawn increased research attention in recent years. Research on school bullying depends on valid and reliable measurement of bullying and victimization behaviors. Unfortunately, however, psychometrically sound bullying measures for use with Chinese students are lacking. The Revised Peer Experiences Questionnaire (RPEQ) is a widely used self-report bullying measure that has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in students from the United States and several European countries. In the current study, the psychometric properties and factor structure of the RPEQ were examined with a sample of Chinese college students.

▼ The study tested the hypothesis that perceived food attributes (PFAs) and explicit/implicit measures of attitudes would differentially identify an individual's attitude in the domain of Asian food. In total, 39 college students (Caucasians) were recruited to complete a self-reported survey and implicit association test (IAT) simultaneously. With two selected real Asian foods (i.e.,Chinese food and Japanese food), the study shows that there are significant mean differences of PFAs between two Asian foods (i.e., Chinese food and Japanese food), and that significant mean differences are found in implicit attitudes towards two Asian foods, but not in explicit attitudes. In terms of correlations among salient factors used in this study, the results reveal that there are significantly positive correlations among PFAs, explicit attitudes, and food intentions. Furthermore, the results reveal the significant interaction effects between ethnic foods and PFAs on explicit attitude measures, but not on implicit attitude. The conclusions, implications and limitations are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Kim, Dae-Young, 1972- (advisor).

▼ With the rapid economic growth and urbanization in mainland China since 1980s, there is a growing need for prevention efforts to help couples obtain skills and knowledge in order to sustain a satisfying intimate relationship. Couple Relationship Education (CRE) programs were developed by psychologists in Western countries as a preventive intervention for couples before relationships reach crisis stage. There was, however, a lack of empirical studies to examine the effectiveness of CRE in Chinese cultural context. The present study examined PREPARE/ENRICH (PE) effectiveness (as one example of a CRE program) on improving relationship quality by focusing on the college heterosexual dating couples in mainland China. A total of 92 recruited college couples in mainland China were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (a) treatment (PE assessment report + 12-hour workshop; 31 couples), (b) comparison (PE assessment report only; 30 couples), and (c) no-contact control group (31 couples). Seven measures were used to measure couple satisfaction; communication, conflict resolution, leisure activities, partner style and habits, sex and affection, and couple closeness at pre- and post-test. Results showed that the PE workshop was effective in improving all relationship variables except for the variable of sex and affection. The results also suggested that the PE workshop had more significant effects on female participants than on male participants on the dependent variables of relationship satisfaction, communication, conflict resolution and couple closeness. Recommendations for future research are discussed.

▼ This thesis presents the research results from aqualitative study of Chinese international students who are currently studyingon a U.S. university campus. The research explores their perceptions andpreferences with regard to mate selection and dating behaviors within thecontext of their experiences of living and studying in a western setting. Thesestudents are of an age when dating and planning for future marriage areculturally expected, even as they focus on pursuing higher education andenhancing their future career options. Their status as international studentsin a foreign country provides an opportunity to examine the ways in whichmigration, social networks, and varying cultural expectations may influence andcomplicate their perceptions, preferences, and behaviors with regard to datingand mate selection. Research results supported the notions of segmentedassimilation of Chinese international students with regard to mate selectionand dating. The participants partially adopted American norms and ideologies onintimate relationships: dating is viewed as a casual way of 'making friends'and 'having fun' instead of for the main (traditional) purposes of mateselection and family formation; singlehood and delay of marriage are viewed asacceptable alternatives; personal characteristics and emotional connections arevalued over social economic affluence and family background. However, someeastern traditional values and norms are still kept: parents' acceptance of therelationship is still a 'must' for Chinese students; the tradition of 'Dowry'and 'Bride Price' is still practiced; pre-marital intimacy and cohabitation are'commonly practiced' but have to remain 'under the table' (i.e., hidden fromparents and sometimes other social networks). The close network and communityamong Chinese students on the one hand provides support and assistance forseeking dates and potential mates, but on the other hand also functions toreinforce Chinese traditional cultural values within the group. Racial ornational homogamy is most commonly practiced and preferred, however, genderdifferences are apparent with regard to interracial relationships. Malestudents reported that they strictly preferred people of Chinese descent or atleast of Asian race for a future spouse. Female students were more open tointerracial relationships, particularly with white males, but they expressedconcerns about social pressures and negative perceptions of interracialrelationships with non-white men from minority groups. The findings arediscussed in the context of increasing access to international studies andpotential immigration among Chinese young adults ( en ) Advisors/Committee Members: Koropeckyj-Cox, Tatyana M (committee chair), Shehan, Constance L (committee member).

▼ As the world is experiencing language globalization, English has been playing an important role in this transition. It is important to master English as a language skill in many non- English speaking countries. These learners, have limited authentic English language environment, and Chinese learners face particular challenges because of the differences of cultural and thinking modes. Feature films have been used to help English Language learners to get the opportunities into authentic English environment. This study aims to investigate how watching English feature films impact Chinese college students' perception on English language learning. 131 Chinese college students from different majors participated in this study. These participants completed a five-point Likert-type scale survey with 21 items. Results showed that different major college students have different opinions on how watching feature films impact their English learning. English majors and humanities/social study majors are more likely to agree that watching feature films improve their knowledge of language usage in different context comparing to their peers majored in medical science. Moreover, medical science majors are less likely to agree that watching feature films improve their knowledge of different language usage within a context comparing to other peers. Furthermore, significant differences were found in receptive skill improvement when comparisons across between majors and grades. Except English major and engineering and technology science majors, other general majors agree that watching feature films improves their receptive skill the most when they are freshman or senior, and a significant decrease showed when they are sophomore and junior.

▼ Mental health is a value laden phenomenon. It may be perceived and experienced differently by people from different cultural backgrounds or having different cultural values. Understanding cultural specific mental health values is necessary for any helping professions aiming at improving mental health services. The current study developed and validated a Chinese Mental Health Value Scale (CMHVS) in hope of aiding the effort to provide effective counseling to Chinese college students in China and around the world. The scale was developed by following DeVellis (2011) method step by step. Literature review, focus groups and a brief survey were used to generate a preliminary item pool. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate and improve prospective items. Using Qualtrics, the final data collection yielded a sample of 1058 Chinese college students. For statistical purposes, the sample was randomly split into two subsamples for EFA and CFA respectively. The analysis resulted in a 35-item, seven-factor model of Chinese mental health values for college students with strong psychometric quality. The seven factors are Expected Self, Relating to Others, Life Principle, Family, Purpose and Meaning, Achievement and Communication Style. To test the validity of the scale, four reference measures were used to examine its convergent validity. It was found that CMHVS was positively related with the Cultural Orientation Scale (Triandis & Gelfland, 1998), Asian Values Scale (AVS; Kim, Atkinson & Yang, 1999), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985). Only factor 1 (Expected Self) was negatively related to Depression and Somatization subscales of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18; Derogatis, 2000). Limitations and implications to future research were discussed.

As a result of the rapid economic development in China in the last three decades, an increasing number of Chinese students are seeking cross-national education in English-speaking countries such as Australia. This study investigates a Chinese cohort studying in Australian universities. The study has two major aims: (1) to explore their learning experiences in overseas universities, particularly their responses towards the teaching strategies used in these classrooms. ; (2) to identify how Chinese students are prepared in China and Australia before they study in mainstream Australian university classrooms. To achieve these aims, a mixed-methods approach has been used in a convergent parallel design. Research instruments have been developed in the form of surveys, interviews and classroom observations, which were employed concurrently in the process of the fieldwork. In-depth interviews explore the Chinese students' pedagogical experiences in Australian classrooms, in particular the challenges and obstacles that they have faced when their lecturers used various teaching strategies. The findings of the interviews highlight that the current preparations for the Chinese students' cross-national education are not adequate. Similarly, the surveys and classroom observations indicate that the current preparations in Australian language centres and Chinese universities do not effectively respond to the various pedagogical challenges faced by international Chinese students who are studying in Anglophone countries. Based on these findings, a multi-participatory model (MPM) has been developed for the current English program, named "College English", in Chinese universities. The MPM includes three dimensions: the College English curriculum, the College English teachers and students with an intension of studying in English-speaking universities. Eight recommendations have been developed in line with these three dimensions to improve the pedagogical preparation of Chinese students. The ultimate outcome of these pedagogical preparations is expected to cultivate the student's pedagogical understanding, rather than their language proficiency only. This study is significant for curriculum innovation in College English programs, in the context of student mobility in seeking cross-national education. In this way, the Chinese students' pedagogical preparations might contribute to a smoother transition from the Chinese educational environment to Anglophone universities.

▼ As one of the most influential constructs in educational psychology, academic motivation represents individuals' drives and energies to learn; as an emerging construct attracting increasing interest, engagement manifests individuals' drives and energies, such as the use of self-regulation strategies. However, little existing research simultaneously considers these two groups of constructs within one framework, or takes their antecedents and outcomes into account, especially in regards to Chinese university students. The present study attempts to systematically study motivation and engagement on the basis of social-cognitive motivation theory and achievement orientation theory as a means of unifying substantive and empirical claims. To accomplish these purposes, two studies, each with two parts, have been conducted with Chinese university students as participants. In Study One, Part One explores the factor structure of several instruments – including the Motivation and Engagement Scales-University/College (MES-UC), the Goal Orientation and Learning Strategies Survey (GOALS-S), the Scale of Institution Integration (SII) and the Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire (ASQ) – in half the sample (426 cases). Cross-validation with the other half of the sample is then undertaken (423 cases). Part Two investigates a process model, which includes student multiple motivational beliefs, engagement and educational outcomes through path analysis. The results suggest that students' work avoidance goal predicts their academic dissatisfaction directly and indirectly via maladaptive engagement; their social concern goal indirectly predicts intellectual development via adaptive engagement; their social approval goal directly influences achievement; and student engagement mediates the impacts of other motivational beliefs on their academic dissatisfaction, intellectual development and achievement. Furthermore, social concern, social approval, social status goals and work avoidance goals are significantly related to motivation and engagement. In Study Two, Part One cross-validates the MES-UC instrument in a new independent sample (836 cases) of Chinese university students. Other instruments including the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey (PALS) are also validated. Part Two investigates a process model, which includes classroom goal structure, motivational beliefs, engagement and achievement through path analysis. The results find that the classroom mastery goal structure predicts adaptive and maladaptive engagement via adaptive motivation, and the classroom performance-avoidance goal structure affects maladaptive engagement via personal performance-approach goal orientation and maladaptive motivation In summary, by considering the classroom goal structure as a contextual antecedent and a variety of motivational beliefs as individual antecedents, as well as achievement-related constructs as outcomes, the thesis finds the mediation effect of motivational beliefs… Advisors/Committee Members: Kutnick, PJ, Ng, THM.

▼ This abstract is a brief description of my artwork Chinglish - an audio and video installation. "Chinglish" is used here to describe awkward living situations of Chinese students who study in United States. The work is exhibited in a slightly darkened room with white walls. In the center of this room, there are four monitors separately sitting on four white pedestals. The pedestals are aligned and put together, forming a "wall." The "wall" blends in with the room because of the color, shape and surface, subtly separating the space and still appearing neutral. In each pedestal, there's a computer, which cannot be seen by visitors. On top of each pedestal, there's a speaker with the monitor. On the four monitors, four different videos are played and through the four speakers, four different voices are heard.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the self-reported experiences of international Chinese graduate students who have taken online courses at a U.S. university. With the increase in internationalization and globalization in higher education, more international students are arriving in the U.S., especially from China. At the same time, another key development in higher education has been the increase in online courses and programs as they become more ubiquitous across U.S. colleges and universities. This has led to many of the international Chinese students taking online courses while in the U.S., a phenomenon I have observed in my professional context. In order to further expand the international programs at my college and attract more international students, specifically the Chinese graduate students, there was a need to study and understand current cultural challenges the students face in online courses.

▼ Exercise has been shown to be associated with health and it is related to decreased morbidity and mortality in the general population (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, USDHHS, 1996). Despite the multiple health benefits of exercise, relatively few people exercise. The present study examined factors that may influence exercise participation. Chinese undergraduate students from Beijing Normal University (n = 213) and American undergraduate students from Bowling Green State University (n = 213) were recruited to participate in the present study. This study examined how reasons for exercise were related to exercise stages of change among Chinese and American college students. Also examined were how reasons for exercise were related to exercise enjoyment and self-efficacy. In addition, cultural and gender differences were examined. The main results were as follows: (1) Women in different stages of change exercised for different reasons, with women in higher stages primarily exercise more for non-body related reasons than women in lower stages of change. (2) American college students exercised more for Weight Control, Fitness, and Physical Attractiveness, while Chinese college students exercised more for Health and Enjoyment. (3) Students who primarily exercised for Mood enjoyed exercise more than people who exercised for other reasons, and people who exercised for body-related reasons, such as Weight Control and Body Tone, enjoyed exercise the least. (4) Women exercising primarily for Mood had higher self-efficacy than women exercising for other reasons. In conclusion, certain reasons for exercise are related to stages of change, exercise enjoyment, and exercise self-efficacy. Advisors/Committee Members: Berger, Bonnie (Committee Chair).

▼ Offshore programs have become increasingly popular in countries that are experiencing rapid economic growth and rising demand for higher education. There is no doubt that China is one of the largest markets for offshore programs. However, the offshore program market in China has become increasingly competitive. Currently, institutions from the USA, the UK, and Australia, to name just a few, are offering offshore programs ranging from the professional diploma level to higher degrees such as MA, MBA and PhD. Therefore, understanding how Chinese students select an offshore program is important for competing and surviving in this market place. This study examines the effects of image (i.e., country image and higher education image), attitude, subject norm and perceived behavior control (adopted from Ajzen's theory of planned behavior) in Chinese students' enrollment intentions towards offshore programs from Australia, the UK and the USA respectively. A total number of 1291 valid questionnaires were collected from China for this study. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method was used for data analyses and modeling. This PhD's several major findings have significant theoretical and practical implication. One of the major findings was that country image or its related higher education image doesn't have significant effect on an offshore program evaluation in China. This finding has contradicted most previous studies which suggested that country image had significant impact on whether a consumer purchases the products or brands from a foreign country. The difference between this study and the other country-image studies may be due to the fact that this study studied multiple factors besides country image, while the other studies looked at only the effect of country image on purchasing intention. Although country image or higher education image did not play any significant role in offshore program enrollments, this study found that the image of the partnering or local institution had a significant effect on enrollment intention. Because Chinese students are unfamiliar with a foreign country or their higher education system, they relied heavily on the local institution (e.g., its reputation and quality) to evaluate an offshore program. The findings with respective to image have challenged most previous studies on country image and open a new arena for looking at the effect of country image in behavioral intention. Practically speaking, these findings make universities rethink their offshore program strategies in foreign countries, particularly developing countries. Most university marketers from western countries emphasize on the characteristics of its own (such as the history of the university, the quality of research) when promoting its offshore program overseas. However, this study suggested that the focus should be placed on selecting a good and suitable local partner, as well as emphasizing the characteristics of the local partner. Other major findings were related to the Theory of Planned behavior. This study found…

▼ China's universities and colleges are producing an astronomical amount of newly minted graduates that the workforce is unable to adequately place, causing dissatisfaction from not only the graduates themselves but the supporting families behind them. The promise of higher education is proving untrue to these young graduates, who live in cramped conditions on the edges of cities and work in low paid jobs, often trying to support their families back home in rural parts of China. "Year of the Rat" by Chen Qiufan was published by Science Fiction World in May of 2009. Chen gives these unemployable college graduates jobs by drafting them into the army's special rat extermination squads. In this near future, China is the hatchery for designer pet rats, some which have escaped into the countryside. These college students are put to the task of exterminating this rodent menace. It is a gruesome business, especially as the rats continue to evolve in the wild and their behavior and actions becomes much more sophisticated. In the end, both the military and the rats are subservient to the marketplace, which truly controls the state of affairs in this world. ( en )

▼ The purpose of this grounded theory study was to develop a theory that explains the process of self-authorship development of college students in China. Little research exists that explicitly explores the integrated development of college students in China and influences on that development from the educational environment. Despite the extensive research in U.S. higher education settings on students' development from an integrated perspective, little comparable research has been done in the context of college students in China.I interviewed 13 junior or senior college students from three institutions in one province in China via synchronous video conferencing. I utilized convenience sampling to choose the province, purposive sampling to select the three institutions with different rankings, purposive sampling to choose the first six participants, and then theoretical sampling to select the subsequent seven participants, until theoretical saturation was reached. I used constant comparative analysis to facilitate theoretical sampling and the data analysis process. An initial conceptual model of self-authorship development emerged from this study. The trajectory of development in the epistemological domain is from depending on external sources' knowing to beginning to construct knowledge. The trajectory of development in the interpersonal domain is from being subordinate or dominant in relationships to striving for mutual relationships. In other words, participants were becoming less dependent in relationships. The intrapersonal domain is comprised of three dimensions: self-defined goals, self-efficacy, and self-knowledge. The trajectory of development in the intrapersonal domain is from unclear self-defined goals to clear self-defined goals, low self-efficacy to high self-efficacy, and little self-knowledge to robust self-knowledge. In addition, I found four factors promoting participants' self-authorship development: absence of externally defined goals, flexibility to explore, support from peers and students in higher grades, and engagement in extracurricular activities. This study suggests multiple directions for future research, which include exploration of Chinese college students' post-graduation experience to look at their further self-authorship development and their self-authorship development in different contexts to explore how their meaning-making structures associate with different contexts. The findings also provide insights for policy makers in the Chinese higher education system, colleges and universities in China, and professionals and practitioners in Chinese higher education about ways to promote students' holistic development.

▼ Students from China experience greater levels of difficulty in the transition to American higher education compared to domestic students and other international students. They struggle with language issues, as well as social and academic acculturation challenges. A pathway program, developed in 2009 by a consortium of American colleges and universities, aimed to provide a transitional path to higher education in the U.S. for Chinese students. Students begin their program in China for fall and spring terms, and those who successfully complete those terms arrive in the United States for a Summer Bridge program aimed at acclimating students to life at an American university. This qualitative program evaluation examined faculty, staff and student experience in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Summer Bridge program in the transition process of Chinese students to American higher education. The study fills a gap in the literature on the benefits of extended orientation programs for Chinese international students. Historical documentation; course syllabi; student satisfaction survey data; and interviews with faculty, staff, and students who were involved in the program, were used to inform the results. The Summer Bridge program was successful in making students more confident when they enrolled in the fall. Students were more comfortable with the social setting as well as the academic setting. One limitation of the program was the lack of cultural diversity. Students were less inclined to practice their English speaking skills among fellow Chinese students. This study confirms that an extended orientation program for Chinese students improved their transition to American higher education.

▼ This study examined the potential for concepts within the Health Belief Model to predict Chinese college students' daily brushing, daily flossing, and annual dental check-up behavior. Additionally, dental-related information seeking and scanning were explored. The survey was completed by 150 Chinese college students and found that some components of HBM significantly predict brushing behavior, flossing behavior, and dental check-up behavior. Self- efficacy was the best predictor of brushing and dental check-up behavior, while barriers and dental-related knowledge were the best predictors of flossing behavior. Participants prefer to seeking from social media and with his or her dentist and scan information from social media and mass media. Information seeking and scanning only significantly predicted flossing behavior. Knowledge, seeking and scanning information from a dentist were the best predictor of dental check-up behavior. Future studies could examine more about self-efficacy and dental health behavior in the Chinese cultural context. Advisors/Committee Members: Sangalang, Angeline (Advisor).

▼ The purpose of this study were to research the Decision-making Process of Oversea Chinese Students in College Applications , and hope to forward conclusions and suggestions according to the results. Based on the motivations , it can be categorized into three purpose : 1.to borrow from the theoretical framework and techniques from the education marketing, aims to enhance the marketing capacity of Taiwanâs universities in recruiting oversea Chinese students. 2.to analysis the selection criteria of Oversea Chinese Students in College Applications, the main sources of foreign university information, and the most important person influencing the Decision-making Process of Oversea Chinese Students in College Applications. 3.according to the results, constructive suggestions to the administration, the universities and colleges, serving as a reference in the management of enrollment strategies. The achieve the aims mentioned above, the research starts from the exploring the theories of market segmentation and marketing strategies through related papers and articles, then collect empirical studies about the college-student recruitment. Based upon the result of literature review, aâQuestionnaire of Influential Factors concerning the Decision-making Process of Oversea Chinese Students Seeking College Educationâ were developed. About eight hundred students in National Oversea Chinese Student University Preparatory School were surveyed using the questionnaire above. A series of statistics such as descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, cluster analysis, ANOVA, and MANOVA were conducted to analyze the data collected. The main discoveries are as follows : 1.Different background variable make a lot of difference in the Decision-making Process in College Applications. 2.Different background variable make a lot of difference within the four cluster Oversea Chinese Students. 3.Different cluster Oversea Chinese Students have their own inclination in the Decision-making Process in College Applications. 4.Different cluster Oversea Chinese Students have their own inclination in the university information sources. With the coming short of college students due to the sharp decrease of birth rate in Taiwan, recruitment officials of colleges and universities are anxious of the future and figuring out the strategies to admit oversea Chinese students from the Southeastern Asia. The conclusions of this study can provide a clear picture of future oversea Chinese students for international colleges and universities.

▼ The first goal of the current study was to comprehensively assess depressive and anxiety symptomatology, and examine the resultant symptom structures among 206 Caucasian Canadian and 251 Chinese Canadian university student samples in relation to the tri¬partite conceptual model put forth by Clark and Watson (1991). The current study used 14 symptom measures assessing the affective (e.g., low positive affect), the cognitive (e.g., worry), and the somatic aspects (e.g., autonomic hyperarousal) of depressive and anxiety symptomatology. Items that were found to function differently across the current two samples via the techniques of item response theory were considered to be culturally biased and were subsequently removed from these 14 measures so that the true structural relations among measures of depressive and anxiety symptomatology could be illustrated. The current study identified differences in symptom structures between Chinese and Caucasian samples (e.g., worry and autonomic hyperarousal), as well as differences between these two samples' symptom structures and the structures of the original tripartite model (e.g.. lack of depression specific element). After the cross sample differences and similarities in symptom structures of anxiety and depressive symtomatology were identified, the second primary goal of the current study was to further investigate cultural influences on between-group similarities and differences in the resultant symptom structures of anxiety and depression. Symptom factor scores were found to relate only to specific but not generic indicators of an individual's cultural experiences (e.g., Negative Acculturating Experiences). Furthermore. among 201 items of the 14 symptom measures included in the current study, 52 items (about 26%) were found to be culturally biased, with about one half of them being more likely endorsed by the Chinese sample and about the other half more likely endorsed by the Caucasian sample. The phenomenon of cultural bias at an item level was common, because all scales used in the current study contained culturally biased items, and because bias responding tendency was found within both Chinese and Caucasian samples. Cultural contrast response tendency, a composite variable of all cultural biased items. was found to relate to some but not all aspects of cultural orientations (e.g.. Canadian External Orientation). It also showed a greater relation than symptom factors with cultural orientation measures. The third goal of the current study was to explore individuals' cultural and depressive experiences with a qualitative approach using a semi-structured interview, in order to discover new culturally relevant themes that may link individuals' cultural background with psychopathology. Three themes were identified among the interviews of Chinese Canadian university students. portraying the role of Chinese culture in understanding an individual's depression, illustrating the mechanism linking culture with psychopathology, and highlighting the significance of a qualitative… Advisors/Committee Members: Graves, Roger Elliott (supervisor).

Following a qualitative approach to research, interviews were conducted with 10 graduate students from the PRC using semi-structured and open-ended methods. More structured interviews with McGill University administrative staff provided background to the study as did government and university registration statistics. This study explores student involvement and interaction with Canadian society, avenues and barriers to interaction, and communication between professors/supervisors and students. It focuses on the overlapping relationship between communication skills and culture learning as part of how students define adjustment. Students identify the particular challenges in adjusting to Canadian society as becoming more self-reliant and feeling comfortable with uncertainty in their futures. Women students discuss issues of independence and freedom and how these factors sometimes conflict with their traditional social roles. This study also includes some recommendations for further research. Advisors/Committee Members: Jackson, Nancy (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the acculturation strategies of undergraduate, international students from China at a Southwest university. It applies John Berry's (1997) acculturation theoretical framework that identifies four acculturation strategies: assimilation, separation, integration and marginalization (Berry, 1997). The objective of the mixed methods study was to examine the validity and consistency of Berry's acculturation framework in varying cultural contexts by considering 1) the relationship between acculturation of international students and length of stay 2) Does acculturation vary by gender? and 3) the impact of acculturation on academic performance. The sample included 50 international undergraduate students from China at a Southwest university. The analyses conducted utilized data from an online survey and qualitative data gathered through student interviews to provide insight into the quantitative data. The results of the quantitative portion of the study concluded that there was no significant difference between the lengths of stay in the U.S. for participants surveyed. Second, acculturation did not vary significantly according to gender, and there was a weak, positive correlation between acculturation and a student's cumulative GPA that was not statistically supported. The qualitative, face-to-face interviews provided three themes 1) acculturation of international students and length of stay, 2) acculturation varies by gender and 3) impact of acculturation on academic performance. The findings of this study suggest that additional attention needs to be paid to the ways in which the University supports initial engagement with the campus.

▼ A review of the extant research literature reveals limited data on college students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Even less information is known in regards to minority populations living with ADHD, specifically Asian American college student. This research project was focused on Chinese American college students with ADHD. A qualitative design using a life history approach allowed the individual case studies to provide a vivid detailed account into the experiences with ADHD. The project was centered on a systems theory approach to understanding the psycho-social and cultural factors that influence the experience of ADHD in Chinese American college students as well as the coping strategies used in order to be effective learners. This project allows the reader to understand how Chinese American college students make sense of their ADHD diagnosis, cope with their condition and what this may mean for these students as they embark on their ADHD journey. ❧ This project aimed to seek answers to these questions: 1) What are the different pathways to being a Chinese American college student with ADHD? 2) How do psycho-social, cultural and other factors shape the experiences that Chinese American college students have with ADHD? 3) How do Chinese American college students with ADHD navigate their academic environment in order to be successful learners? ❧ The project found that social supports in the form of family and friends help the Chinese American college student to cope with their ADHD diagnosis, symptoms and academic struggles. The use of professional services inclusive of psychotherapy, psychopharmacology and psychological testing helped students to cope and make sense of their condition. The Chinese American college students found their academic performance improved with the use of the disability services offered by the university.

▼ The purpose of this thesis is to report on the identification of selected forces, connections and imagination influencing Chinese students to study in Australia. Previous research has investigated the ranges of drives generating the burgeoning number of students from the People's Republic of China seeking to complete their tertiary education overseas. However, little research addresses the role of parents in decision making when they study the question of "Why choose Australia?" This research is based on a study using a focus group in Sydney in 2014 (n = 21), Internet questionnaires in Beijing and Lianyungang (n = 635) and follow-up telephone email interviews in Beijing, Shanghai, Lianyungang and Sydney (n = 12). The participants in this study were all students from the People's Republic of China, mainly the children from High Net Wealth Income families. The analyses of the evidence from the focus group interviews produced five themes, namely; quality of education, cost, lifestyle, environment and labour migration opportunities. These themes were further investigated by the Internet questionnaire and refined in follow-up interviews with parents and students after the data had been analysed. In addition, evidence regarding these themes was collected through media and government reports regarding corruption in China and Australia. The findings from this research revealed four insights unrecognised by previous research into the main research question: 1. It is the parents who in many cases decide the host country destination and choice of university. 2. Interviewing students may not uncover the motives that influenced the parents' decisions. 3. Overseas education per se is a prime driver of choice, rather than quality of education. 4. Corruption, especially money laundering, and transcultural immigration are the main motives driving many families' choices of university in Australia. This thesis has changed directions many times throughout the investigation. It brings a fresh perspective on the forces, connections and imaginations influencing students to study in Australia, but at the same time it has raised questions that it was not able to completely answer.

▼ The nature of this study is exploratory. It aims to explore the financial situation and the resources which students can use to cope with their problems. The primary purpose is to obtain a clearer picture of the situations of certain Chinese foreign students, to help those who intend to study abroad with their budgeting and planning. A secondary aim is to draw the attention of authorities concerned to improve or expand services to foreign students who already have overwhelming adjustment problems and who still have to carry the additional burden of pressure from restrictive regulations.

▼ This study examines interrelationships between Chinese students' associations with each other, with American friends, and their identification with American society. Fifty-three randomly-selected Chinese students at North Texas State University were interviewed in May, 1974. The resulting data was tested by Chi-square and Gamma tests. The finding are an follows In the United States, Chinese students are in a dynamic adjustment process. In their early stay, Chinese students with high scores of a affiliation with Americans have low scores of identification with American society. However, affiliation with other Chinese brings satisfaction and further identification. Therefore, Chinese students with high scores of affiliation with each other have high scores of identification with Americans. Advisors/Committee Members: Estrada, Leobardo, Smallwood, J. B..

▼ This cross-sectional study examined the relationships between length of residence in the United States (U.S.) and dietary and physical activity acculturation, and the relationships between dietary and physical activity acculturation and weight status in 55 Chinese college students. Length of residence in the U.S. was positively associated with larger portion size, greater amount of physical activity, and change in BMI in male participants. Adoption of a Western diet was associated with weight gain. Portion size change was positively associated with BMI change. Lunch size change was positively correlated with BMI change in males while negatively correlated with BMI change in females. And dinner size change was positively correlated with BMI change in males. This study suggests that dietary acculturation is positively associated with weight gain in Chinese college students. Future interventions focusing on multi-dimensional aspects of dietary behavior change – especially portion size and meal size changes – while emphasizing the importance of changes in physical activity are needed. Such interventions may help maintain healthy weight status and prevent individuals in this population from becoming overweight or obese. Advisors/Committee Members: Gary R. Brodowicz.

This study presents the research of an investigation into the intercultural communication barriers between Zulu and Chinese students at selected Higher Education Institutions in Durban. To achieve this aim, two sets of questionnaires were administered separately to Zulu and Chinese students at two HEIs in Durban and an observation report was compiled. This study reviewed theories and literature relevant to defining and understanding the barriers to intercultural communication. The insights gained from this literature review were used to interpret the results which were obtained through a quantitative and qualitative research methodology. The findings revealed that intercultural communication barriers do exist between Zulu and Chinese students. Findings also found that language problems amongst Zulu and Chinese students are viewed as common barriers, especially where the communicators speak different languages. Comments from respondents revealed that a communicators" accent, different grammar structure and the words they use are confusing during their intercultural communication experience. Cultural differences and language problems were found to be the main intercultural communication barriers. In addition, the problems of nonverbal communication, racism, ethnocentrism, cultural stereotyping were also viewed as obstacles of the intercultural communication process.
