Abstract

With the internationalization of higher education and the further development of the Internet, cross-cultural adaptation has increasingly become an important issue that Chinese overseas students have to face, and social media has become an important tool for Chinese overseas students to integrate into the local society. In order to fully understand the influence mechanism of social media in the process of cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese international students, this study collected questionnaire data by snowballing, and conducted the test of variance and second-order structural equation modeling on the data, which found that age is inversely related to cross-cultural adaptation ability of international students; the intensity of social media use of Chinese international students is inversely related to socio-cultural and psychological adaptation barriers, i.e., social media use of international students is inversely related to social and psychological adaptation barriers. The study found that in the Chinese overseas student group, age is inversely related to international students’ cross-cultural adaptation ability; the intensity of Chinese international students’ social media use is inversely related to socio-cultural adaptation barriers and psychological adaptation barriers, i.e., the greater the intensity of international students’ social media use, the stronger their cross-cultural adaptation ability. 25-40 Social Media Use on Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Chinese Overseas Students Impact studies 下载 Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
