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.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: In the U.S, there are currently 19,828,000 international students emanating from many places around the world, and they make up 5.5 percent of the total U.S higher education population (Institute of International Education, 2018). Given the barriers that the majority of international students face, including acculturation stress, level of support, language barriers, mental health, and college adjustment, the current study aimed to look at the collective population of international students studying in the United States to identify how acculturation stress, college adjustment, mental health, and levels of support impact their help-seeking attitudes in hope to provide more information on how we can best serve the international student population on college campuses. This study was designed to determine if acculturation stress, adjustment to college, and mental health are associated with help-seeking attitudes in international students. Four universities were contacted to participate in the study, but only two responded, resulting in a total of 19 surveys started and 14 fully completed from international students at Springfield College and the University of Hartford. Seven of those who completed the survey identified as female and seven as male. In the overall survey, there were eight students from China, two from Nepal, two from Canada, and the rest from Russia, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Kuwait, India, and South Africa. Of these students, six attended classes from their home countries, and eight attended in the USA. Given the limited responses to the study, we could not obtain generalizable information. However, the study did find that international female-identified individuals may experience more mental health challenges than their male counterparts. Future avenues for this study can include working with more universities to expand the sample size and the diversity of students involved.
