A Study on the Factors Influencing the Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Chinese Students of Different Academic Level—Taking Guangdong University of Foreign Studies as an Example

摘要

This study uses a self-compiled and formatted questionnaire to test the differences of cross-cultural adaptation of Chinese students with different initial academic levels, and explore the correlation between students’ academic level and various factors that affect cross-cultural adaptation. This study takes 245 students from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies who went to study in the UK in 2018 as a sample. The study found that the initial academic level was significantly related to the “interpersonal relationship”, “environmental factors” and “psychological adaptation” of students’ cross-cultural adaptation, and has no significant correlation with “academic situation”.
