Abstract

This qualitative study aims to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese female students and the role of academic, psychological, cultural, and interpersonal factors in this adaptation. The semi-structured interview method was employed in this study and five Chinese female undergraduates who study in the United States were interviewed. The results indicated that language competence, identity, leisure activities, and personal relationships reflect the characteristics of female international students. In addition, international students’ opinions about the relationship between specific factors with adaptation influenced their subjective feeling about how well they adapt.
