Abstract

With the advancement of global economic integration, the internationalization of higher education is constantly increasing, along with flourishing studies about cross-cultural adaptation of international students. Cross-cultural adaptation of international students was studied by researchers from different perspectives such as cross-cultural psychology, cross-cultural communication, and social psychology. To provide theoretical basis for the management of international students, this paper summarizes several predictors of cross-cultural adaptation with different models observed amongst international students.
