Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responses to a survey questionnaire of the international student population enrolled at the University of Virginia in the Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences, Architecture, Education, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Business Administration, Law, and Medicine during the academic year 1972-73. Emphasis in this study was on: (1) the relationship between the self-concept and the degree of academic and social involvement by international students in a culturally different environment and (2) the relationship between the international students' self-concept and their attitudes toward the University Counseling Center and the International Center. The objectives of the study were to answer the following questions: (1) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his academic adjustment to the University? (2) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his non-academic adjustment to the University? (3) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his perception of the University Counseling Center? (4) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his attitudes toward the International Center? (5) What is the international students' self-evaluation of levels of difficulty in adjusting to the University setting? (6) What is the international students' self-evaluation of their ability to use the English language? In order to meet the purposes of the study a three-part questionnaire was mailed to the 144 international graduate students from 43 different countries who were enrolled at the University of Virginia during the academic year 1972-73. One hundred and one usable responses were received, 79 from men and 22 from women. Parts I and II of the questionnaire were designed to survey the international students' academic and non-academic adjustment, and special perception and attitude toward the Counseling Center and the International Center. Part III of the questionnaire was a modified form of Osgood's Semantic Differential Technique using a five point scale to measure the students' self-concept. From an analysis of the data collected for this research study, the following conclusions have been drawn. (1) Sixty-three students reported that they were satisfied with their academic experience at the University, while 18 students reported that they were highly satisfied. (2 )When they have academic problems, they indicated that they would go to their academic advisor for assistance. Their second choice was faculty members and the third choice was family members. The institutional counselors, such as counselors at the Counseling Center, the International Student Advisor and dormitory counselors were chosen by few students. (3) There is a significant (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study considered the adjustment of international students to their life in a new country and their work in the business faculty of a large Australian university. Prior research into expatriate adjustment was used as the study’s basis and a model for analysis was developed from that research literature. Although some aspects of the relationships found with expatriate employees were not demonstrated, generally the similarities were strong and the features of an expatriate employee’s experience and that of an international student were seen to be very alike. Over 500 international students completed a survey based on well-validated measures from the research literature. The results were analysed using structural equation modelling. The hypothesised model did not fit very well in its original form and alternative models were suggested and tested in order to identify a better-fitting model. Cultural novelty, personal abilities in interpersonal interactions and communication skills, self-esteem, self-efficacy and general adjustment were found to be the most significant variables in explaining the outcomes of academic achievement, workrelated and general wellbeing and work-related and general satisfaction, with selfesteem, self-efficacy and general adjustment having the greatest influence on successful outcomes. Adjustment was found not to be a mediating construct, as suggested in the expatriate literature, but an antecedent influence upon the outcomes. Relationships between the constructs were complex, as had been suggested by previous research, making generalisations about causes and consequences of adjustment very difficult. This complexity emphasised that, for international students, the experience of living and working in an international location needs to be regarded in a holistic fashion and that there are many and varied contributors to its success. Several potentially fruitful avenues for future research, concerning both international students and expatriate employees, were identified and discussed. The implications of the present study were considered, both from an academic perspective and in terms of usefulness within a university. A number of possible practical strategies were suggested, relevant to students, lecturers and university administrators that might assist in improving the experience of ‘expatriation’ for international students.

Book excerpt: As globalisation deepens, student mobility and migration has not only impacted economy and institutions, it has also infused human desires, imaginaries, experiences and subjectivities. In Transnational Students and Mobility, Hannah Soong portrays the vexed nexus of education and migration as a site of multiple tensions and existence and examines how the notion of imagined mobility through education-migration nexus transforms the social value of international education and transnational mobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships and the differences between the self-concept and the coping behavior of two selected groups of graduate students namely, foreign-born Asians and American Caucasians who were enrolled in graduate school of Oregon State University during the 1981-82 academic year. The secondary purposes of the study were: 1. to ascertain the cultural effect on the self-concept and the coping behavior and 2. to determine the possible directions of causation between two variables. Hypothesis 1. There is no significant difference between the mean scores for the two cultures. Hypothesis 2. There is no significant difference between the mean socres for male and female. Hypothesis 3. There is no significant interaction effect between the mean scores of the levels of sex and cultures. Procedure The samples were randomly selected from the computer list of the American-Caucasian graduate students; 70 males and 67 females. The foreign-born Asians were randomly drawn from the foreign students list obtained from the foreign student office, 69 males and 64 females. The Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator were used. The mean scores of P (Self-Concept) on the TSCS was used as the measure of self-concept, the C (Personal Self) and E (Social Self) were used to test the correlation coefficient. The E (Extraversion), the I (Introversion), J (Judgment) and P (Perception) on the MBTI were utilized as the measure of coping or adjusting behavior. A total of seven (7) dependent variables were included in the study. Mean scores in each subtest were analyzed, using two-way analysis of variance procedures. The Pearson Product Moment Corre lation Coefficient was utilized to measure the relationships of self-concept and coping or adjusting behavior. Conclusion Based upon the results of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. There was no significant differences among the two cultures - namely the American-Caucasian and the foreign-born Asian graduate students in concept or the.abilities to cope or to adjust to their environment. 2. There were no significant differences in abilities to use judging or perceptive attitude for dealing with environment between the males and females among both American-Caucasian and foreign-born Asian graduate students. There were significant differences exhibited between the male and female graduate students related to their self-concept, . personal self, social self, and the ability to cope with or to adjust to the environment. 3. There were significant differences between the American- Caucasian and the foreign-born Asian in judging or perceptive attitude for dealing with environment. The finding concluded that all humans are similar by nature in the fact that they are capable, intelligent and flexible. They have similar abilities to cope with or adjust to the past, which would be the culture force; the present, which is the environment force, and conclude their abilities to construct for the future to come.
