Data Collection

 
My Dear Friends,
 
I'm currently working on my dissertation and am in urgent need of participants to help out with completing an online survey. The topic is about Chinese international students' cross-cultural adjustment. If you are an international student (graduate, undergraduate, or ESL student) or a scholar from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, or Singapore, may I ask for your kind help with completing the survey, which takes about 20 minutes? I'm very sorry not being able to provide financial compensation for your time, but I'm willing to provide other possible help if there is anything I can do for you in the future. Thank you very much! May God greatly bless you!
 
Best wishes,
Serena : )

Dear participants,

I would like to invite you to participate in my dissertation survey, which is regarding Chinese international students' cross-cultural adjustment. It is intended to investigate several factors (e.g., acculturation strategies, self-views in relation to others, perceived cultural distance, and English self-confidence) which might impact Chinese international students' cross-cultural adjustment while they study overseas. It takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the survey (please try to complete it once online, otherwise the data will be missing). Please click the link below to start, and please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Your participation is highly valued and appreciated.

As an international student from Taiwan, I greatly enjoy my cross-cultural journey over the past few years since I came to the U.S. Meanwhile, I deeply understand the psychological and social/cultural challenges which Chinese international students might undergo. The generation of this survey is an integration of literature review and my personal experience. I hope this survey will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on your cross-cultural experience and enable a perspective of reaching a better cross-cultural adjustment.
 
 
Thanks and best wishes,
