Academic research conducted in the west has shown that people in individualistic and collectivist cultures cope with cross-cultural adaptation stress differently, but there is still a lack of understanding how coping may function in the nonWestern context. We conducted a longitudinal study to explore how the relationship between perceived cultural distance, stressand problem-focused coping strategies may influence socio-cultural adaptation for international students in China. We collected longitudinal data on overseas students during the Fall semester of September 2013. Data were recollected 90 days later. The results show that: (1) perceived cultural distance did not predict the outcome of socio-cultural adaptation; (2) non-Asian students used more problem-focused coping strategies than Asian students; (3) interaction effect between stress, coping strategy and culture of origin is significant: for non-Asian students, problem-focused coping strategies alleviated the negative impact of stress on adaptation; and for Asian students, problem-focused coping strategies exacerbated the negative impact of stress on adaptation. This paper concludes with interpretation of our findings and how these results can be useful in higher education institutions in China. 摘要:有研究显示个体和集体主义文化背景下,人们应对跨文化适应压力的方式 不同,但目前还缺乏在非西方背景下对相关结论的验证。本研究以来华留学生为 1 本研究与第一作者在 SpringerPlus 上发表的文章(English, Zeng, & Ma, 2015)属于同一纵向研究项
