Book Description
Social support has been found to contribute to an overall positive adjustment for International students in U.S. colleges. This study addressed the relationship between International students' perceptions of university assistance in adjusting to campus life and their social adjustment levels. Questionnaires were divided into two sections: 1) university helpfulness in connecting with others - collegiate personnel and students - in the campus community and through the various campus events offered; and 2) assessing social adjustment through The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). The questionnaire was distributed to undergraduate students attending a private Midwestern university with 62 usable responses gathered from 31 American and 31 International students representing eight international countries. The university had 68 undergraduate International students and 45.4% participated in the current study. Statistical analyses revealed that Americans were more socially adjusted to university life when compared with International students (p.001). The data also disclosed that there was no relationship between level of adjustment to campus life and student perception of being respected by peers and faculty (p.05). However, International students with relatively lower social adjustment were observed as more likely to perceive campus activities as less useful than their more well-adjusted International peers, though no significance was found (p>.05). All the International students reported being treated well by faculty and students, yet improvements were suggested for social events to include opportunities for multicultural relations. Implications of this study suggest that well-developed campus events that connect International and American students could have a positive impact on social adjustment for International students.

Book Description
The Two-Way Mirror was first published in 1960. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.This is a study of images or attitudes with a two-way impact, those received and reflected by foreign students in the United States. The study seeks to determine how much the image of their native countries which they believed Americans held, influenced the foreign students in their reactions to their American experiences. Thus, the national status which a foreigner feels reflected upon him, away from home, may affect the impression of the United States which he himself reflects.The subjects of the study were 318 students from some 65 countries enrolled at the University of California at Los Angeles. The largest groups were from Israel, Japan, Nationalist China, France, Germany, Iraq, Greece, Mexico, and India.This is the fifth in a series of monographs resulting from a program of research sponsored by the Committee on Cross-Cultural Education of the Social Science Research Council. It is the first volume which reports on the second phase of the research project. Each of the previous volumes, dealing with the first phase, is concerned with foreign students of a single nationality. In the present study the authors make use of facts discovered about particular nationality groups in the first series of studies to determine what factors exert the most influence upon the adjustment of foreign students from many different countries to their sojourns in the United States. The authors obtained their data through a combined questionnaire and interview technique.
