ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Adler University
There is a lack of literature examining the lived experience of Chinese international students. Literature often groups international students or Asian international students into a homogenous category despite their unique differences. The present study utilized a semi-structured interview conducted in Mandarin to explore the lived experiences of seven Chinese international students in Vancouver. Several themes were derived from the content analysis under the topics of acculturation, discrimination, social support and coping, and the impact of COVID-19. The current findings illustrate the complex nature of the lived experiences of Chinese international students as they adjust to living in a foreign country and their resiliency in the face of adversities. Recommendations for academic institutions, relevant organizations, mental health providers, and future research are discussed to support Chinese international students' mental health and well-being.
