Abstract

This research explores the relationship between alcohol use patterns and acculturation among Chinese students who studied at American Universities. A sample of 91 students participated in the study. This study used measures that included the General Ethnicity Questionnaire (GEQ) and the Alcohol Use Questionnaire. The results showed that gender and age were significant predictors of acculturation among Chinese international students. Younger Chinese students are more likely to be assimilated by American culture than those who were older. Men are more likely to be assimilated than women. Those who are more acculturated are more likely to drink alcohol than not to drink alcohol.
