Abstract

As studying in America becomes a popular choice for Chinese students, their psychological health should not be ignored. The variables related to the possibility of Chinese international students having depression are analyzed in this article. Four main elements are acculturative stress, maladaptive perfectionism, length of stay in America and perceived social support and they influence the likelihood of having depression both negatively and positively. Acculturative stress and maladaptive perfectionism will make Chinese international students more likely to have depression and perceived social support can buffer these negative effects. The definite result and more evidence for the influence of the length of time in America are still in need now. By researching Chinese international students, universities can realize the significance of their mental health and create precautionary measures to protect their psychological well-being.
