“…Type 3 found in this study represents a non-classified type that requires more time and attention for classification; these women seem to be struggling to adapt, and exhibit mixed characteristics of both assimilation and separation. This finding is in line with previous studies that reported a mixed type with high levels of assimilation, marginalization, and/or separation [41, 42]. We found no marginalization strategy, in which immigrants neither maintained their heritage, culture, and identity nor had a relationship with the host country (Korea).…”

Background International marriages between Vietnamese women and Korean men have increased rapidly in Korea. Successful adaptation of these women is challenging, and concerns on the issue have been raised. Most existing studies have surveyed Vietnamese immigrant women in urban Korea; less is known about women residing in rural areas of Korea. Uncovering the experiences and perspectives of these women can inform the design of community support resources. The purpose of this study was to identify a typology to effectively describe the subjective perspectives of Vietnamese women residing in rural Korea on adaptation to Korean culture and society. Methods and results A Q-methodological study was conducted with five steps: construction of the concourse, Q sample, selection of participants, Q-sorting, and data analysis. Twenty-six Vietnamese women married to Korean men who attended local public health centers were surveyed and asked to rank-order 39 Q-statements using a 9-point scale. Principal component factor analysis using a pc-QUANL program was performed to identify adaptation sub-types. Four types of adaptation were identified and labeled: positive adaptation (35.54%), passive adaptation with reservations (8.33%), adaptation with frustration (6.20%), and adaptation and involvement (5.33%). These four types explained 55.40% of the total variance in the women’s experience of adaptation to Korean culture and society. Conclusions This study provides data that may be helpful in understanding the challenges immigrant women in rural areas of Korea face, and in planning family-sensitive adaptation support programs for these women and their families.

“…Acculturative stress refers to the problems of individual behavior and mental health that arise in the course of personality changes that occur through direct and continuous contact between two cultures [8]. Acculturative stress includes subfactors of perceived discrimination, hostility, nostalgia, fear, cultural shock, inferiority, and communication problems, among which results are presented that fear, nostalgia, guilt have a negative effect on college adjustment [9][10][11][12]. Previous research supported that acculturative stress is closely related to the emotional difficulties of international students and graduate students [13][14][15].…”

Maladaptive Perfectionism and College Adjustment of International Students in Korea: A Moderated Mediation Model of Social Support

2020

Due to the increasing demand for international education, the number of international students in Korea has been rapidly increasing. Accordingly, well adjusting to college has been a main interest for both academic institutions and international students as it is key to their success. Previous studies have revealed that maladaptive perfectionism (MP) hampers the college adjustment (CA) of international students, yet little is known about its underlying mechanism. To fill in this gap, this study examined the mediating effect of acculturative stress (AS) in between maladaptive perfectionism and college adjustment; the moderating effect of social support (SS) in the relation between acculturative stress and college adjustment; and the moderated mediating effect of social support in the causal pathway from maladaptive perfectionism to acculturative stress to college adjustment. Results showed a partial mediating effect of acculturative stress, a moderating effect, and a moderated mediating effect of social support. This implies that social support is an essential factor that helps international students better adjust to the new collegiate environment by alleviating their stress caused by maladaptive perfectionism and acculturative stress.

“…Recently, studies have examined educational policies (e.g., Li and Lee, 2014), curriculum development for international students (e.g., Kwon, 2013), and the economic impact on university and nation in recruiting these students (Ha et al, 2015). Some studies (Na, 2006;Park, 2011;Back, 2016;Li et al, 2016) have focused on the need to understand students' adaptation and acculturation to campus life and the surrounding local community. Few studies have attempted to discover the factors influencing international students' career development.…”

The population of international students in South Korea is growing. During the career development phase, international students face unique challenges related to their bicultural identity and acculturation experiences. The present study examined the role of bicultural self-efficacy on mediating the relationship between acculturation and career decision-making self-efficacy for international students in South Korea. Responses from 120 international students in South Korea were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that bicultural self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between acculturation to mainstream culture and career decision-making self-efficacy but did not mediate the relationship between acculturation to heritage culture and career decision-making self-efficacy. The implications for effective educational intervention for international college students’ career development were discussed based on the results.
