摘要

本研究旨在探讨在英国的中国留学生所经历的文化适应压力，并调查他们对英国大学提供的跨文化辅导项目的看法。为了实现这些目标，本研究主要利用从 12 个半结构式访谈中收集的定性数据，探讨中国留学生的幸福感及其对跨文化辅导项目的看法。研究结果表明，中国留学生的幸福感受到一系列宏观和微观文化适应压力因素的影响，包括学术融合、语言障碍、社会融合以及 COVID-19 大流行。与预期相反的是，研究显示，中英文化差异以及思乡之情并不是中国留学生的主要压力来源。关于跨文化辅导项目，本研究发现，英国大学引入跨文化辅导项目是提高留学生跨文化能力和整体健康水平的积极努力。然而，研究也发现了四个需要考虑的主要问题：导师资格、有限的导师可用性、导师与被指导者的有效配对以及道德挑战。

“Struggling like fish out of water”: a qualitative case study of Chinese international students’ acculturative stress in the UK

This research aims to explore the acculturative stressors experienced by Chinese international students in the UK and investigates their views on intercultural mentoring programs offered at UK universities. To achieve these objectives, the study utilizes primarily qualitative data gathered from 12 semi-structured interviews, exploring Chinese international students’ wellbeing and their perceptions about intercultural mentoring programs. The findings indicate that the wellbeing of Chinese international students was influenced by a range of macro and micro acculturative stressors, including academic integration, language barriers, social integration, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Contrary to expectations, the study reveals that perceived cultural differences between China and the UK, as well as homesickness, were not the main sources of stress for Chinese international students. Regarding intercultural mentoring programs, this research finds that their introduction by UK universities represents a positive effort to enhance intercultural competence and overall wellbeing of international students. Nevertheless, the research has identified four main issues requiring consideration: mentor qualifications, limited mentor availability, effective mentor-mentee pairing, and ethical challenges.
