The purpose of the present study was to compare the expression and frequency of somatic, affective and cognitive symptoms
of distress across Turkish and U.S. university students. An open-ended free-list question was used to elicit distress responses
from 827 Turkish and U.S. participants. The coding was done using classical content analysis. It was found that Turkish students
reported equal amounts of affective, cognitive, behavioral, somatic, interpersonal and coping responses, whereas the U.S.
students reported more affective and somatic symptoms than other response categories. U.S. students reported more affective
and somatic symptoms than the Turkish students and the Turkish students listed more behavioral, interpersonal, and coping
responses than the U.S. students. Turkish students’ tendency to report more behavioral, coping, and interpersonal responses
is consistent with the collectivist nature of Turkish society. U.S. students’ tendency to report higher levels of somatic
symptoms contradicts the findings from the WHO primary care study (Gureje et al. American Journal of Psychiatry 154:989–995, 1997). Limitations of the study and research and counseling implications of
the findings are discussed. 相似文献

This study investigated Turkish college students’ subjective wellbeing in regard to psychological strength and demographic variables. A sample of Turkish college students (N?=?1,052) aged 17–32 (mean age = 21, SD = 1.79) was administered various psychological strength instruments—the Gratitude Scale, the Rosenberg Self Esteem Inventory, the Generalized Self Efficacy Scale, the Life Orientation Test, the Positive/Negative Affect Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Participants also responded to a demographic data sheet. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests, Pearson correlation coefficients and Spearman row coefficients were used in data analysis. Results revealed that there was a strong association between psychological strengths and subjective wellbeing, with gratitude, satisfaction with life, self-esteem and positive affectivity having the most significant correlations, respectively. Demographic variables of gender, academic achievement, social involvement, type of residence, academic major, and financial and health status were also found to be associated with college students’ subjective wellbeing. Implications for college counseling are discussed. 相似文献

The number of Asian international students pursuing graduate degrees in social work in the U.S. has increased dramatically in recent years, especially among Koreans. Despite the growth and the need for culturally competent practices in higher education, no research has been devoted to the adjustment problems of this population. This study is the first of its kind in exploring stress and coping strategies of Korean international students in graduate social work education. Concept mapping revealed five major clusters of stressors: academic problems, financial difficulties, cultural barriers, psychological problems, and family concerns. Five major coping strategies emerged as well: psychological coping, physical coping, problem solving, social support, and entertainment. Social work schools and departments should demonstrate cultural competence with this population by providing support services to help these students cope successfully with their new environment. 相似文献

1996年6月,以埃尔巴甘为首的伊斯兰政党在土耳其上台执政,引起了美国的极大关注。关于土耳其存在伊斯兰威胁的声音不仅来自西欧和美国,也来自中东和土耳其,但繁荣党执政期间并没有从根本上改变土耳其的传统外交路线,而是与美国保持了一种正常的外交关系。另一方面,美国对土耳其军方迫使繁荣党下台一事基本上是赞同的。就土耳其的情况而言,所谓“伊斯兰威胁”可以说是一种神话而不是现实。 相似文献

This study addresses the educational status and needs of Syrian school-age children at Turkish public schools and the perspectives of teachers and school principals who work with Syrian refugee students. Data was collected from an ongoing qualitative interpretive case study research project using semistructured interviews with teachers and principals who worked with Syrian refugees in 2 inner-city elementary schools in Istanbul, Turkey. The findings of this study indicate that state schools provide many Syrian children with access to education that addresses the needs and challenges associated with the refugee school-age children. For example, Syrian children are thought to have rights identical to Turkish children regarding access to a free education in the Turkish public school setting, and the government has allowed Syrian students to enroll in universities without examinations or without having to show proof that they had attended universities in Syria. However, language barriers with respect to speaking and understanding Turkish must be mitigated to integrate Syrian refugees into Turkish culture. The results of the study also indicate that Syrian students are in a constant state of depression and trauma due to war and migration. Because of language-related issues and limited access to everyday necessities, Syrian children are often in need of comprehensive psychological support. Thus, this study recommends that teachers and principals participate in professional training and development programs to be able to provide psychological support to students. 相似文献

The study used the data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study data set to observe the characteristics
of international students in their first-year in college and examine the factors that influenced their persistence in U.S.
postsecondary institutions. Results from logistic regression analysis revealed that GPA, degree plans, and academic integration
were positively related to persistence of international students, while remediation in English and social integration had
the negative effects on their persistence outcome. The results of the study signal the importance of encouraging collaboration
between offices of international student services and other academic departments or support services on campus. The retention
of international students should not be viewed as the responsibility of only international student advisors. Instead, it should
become a joint responsibility of faculty, academic advisors, English language program staff, and student affairs professionals
on campus. 相似文献

The connections between an international student’s communication network, perceived social support, and intercultural adjustment are not well understood. This study aims to test the network–support–adjustment path among international students. With data collected from 215 international students studying at a large U.S. university, path model analyses showed that tie strength, a relational characteristic of one’s communication network, was positively associated with perceived emotional support, which in turn was positively related to sociocultural adjustment. In contrast, network density and proportion of U.S. ties were not associated with perceived informational support, although perceived informational support was found to contribute to enhanced psychological adjustment. Therefore, the network–support–adjustment path was only partially supported with the current data. This article discusses theoretical and practical implications of these findings. 相似文献

20世纪初留美高潮的兴起的直接导因是美国退还庚款,但也应该看到近代中国社会转型这一主因。在留美高潮的到来之前,民间和官方已通过各种途径重开派遣留美学生之路,这为留美高潮的到来奠定了一定的基础。而庚款留学开始后,晚清政府所组织的三次留美学生选拔考试,亦反映出近代中国转型的基本情形。就总体而论,留美高潮的兴起与近代中国社会的转型是密切关联的。 相似文献

In this study, relationships between vocational self-esteem and psychological needs (autonomy, affiliation, achievement, and
dominance) in Turkish counseling students were examined. In addition, the moderating effect of gender on the relationships
between vocational self-esteem and psychological needs was investigated. The participants consisted of 281 undergraduate counseling
students at Pamukkale University, in Denizli, Turkey. Data were gathered by using the Vocational Self-Esteem Scale and the
Needs Assessment Questionnaire. Results indicated that vocational self-esteem was positively related to need for affiliation
and achievement in Turkish counseling students. Vocational self-esteem was higher in female students compared to male students.
There was a stronger relationship between vocational self-esteem and need for achievement in females than males. 相似文献

导致美国大学生自杀的原因既有个体遭遇,又有不良的家庭、社会环境因素。因此,对于该群体自杀的防范不能仅仅局限于对个体的疏导和教育,更应重视学校监管制度的有效落宴和社会调节机制的有序运行。在中国,强调对不同大学生群体进行不同内容、形式的心理健康教育的同时,也要重视提升学校预防大学生自杀的专业化水准并构建完整的社会支撑系统。 相似文献

This study analyzes the perceptions of Turkish and American middle school students of school and schooling by examining the metaphors they produce. A total of 18 American and 24 Turkish students were interviewed as part of this study. The results show differences in the participants' perceptions of schooling by culture. Turkish participants perceived the school environment as family-like, care-giving, psychologically nurturing, educationally exemplary, and physically appealing. School was also seen as a fundamental prerequisite in the preparation for life and the possibility of employment, promising upward social mobility as an adult. Overall, while some American participants perceived school as a wild, crowded, chaotic, boring, painful, regulated environment in which students must learn to survive, others see it as a place of joy, caring, involvement, and learning. The study also indicates that metaphors are useful tools in understanding how students as real actors of school make sense of schooling and their experiences in school. 相似文献

Teachers are important social agents who affect students’ cognitive and social behaviors, including students’ self-directed use of technology for language learning outside the classroom. However, how teachers influence student behaviors may vary across cultures, and understanding how teacher influences vary across different cultures is critical to developing culturally adaptive approaches to enhance students’ self-directed use of technology for learning outside the classroom. This study surveyed 418 undergraduate foreign language learners (190 from Hong Kong and 228 from the U.S.) on their intention to use technology for language learning outside the classroom, teacher influence and other psychosocial factors that may affect their technology use intentions. Structural equation modeling analyses of the survey responses indicated that teacher capacity support was consistently the most influential teacher practice affecting students’ self-directed technology use across the two cultures, whereas teacher affective support and teacher behavior support were significant predictors for Hong Kong students but not for U.S. students. 相似文献

In the United States and Germany, effective school leadership is pivotal to a school's success. Yet in each country, attracting and retaining qualified school leaders is a formidable challenge. This study compares the influence of possible motivators and inhibitors that impact teachers’ decisions to become principals in the two countries. Survey responses of 311 U.S. students in principal preparation programs in the United States and responses of 117 German students in similar programs in Germany indicate that many factors that motivate and inhibit U.S. and German teachers to become school leaders are similar. The results also reveal areas in which the U.S. and Germany may learn from each other regarding motivators and inhibitors to becoming school administrators. 相似文献

We undertake a quantitative analysis of the determinants of satisfaction among international graduate students at one university. We focus on satisfaction in three areas: academic program, academic appointment, and nonacademic social relationships. Determinants of satisfaction are theoretically classified as individual resources (e.g., language skills), social resources (e.g., contact with U.S. students), and social context (e.g., perceived discrimination). Multiple regression analysis reveals that academic satisfaction is most strongly related to contact with U.S. students, language skills, and perceived discrimination. Social satisfaction is linked with marital status, language skills, perceived discrimination, and contact with U.S. students. Students' gender, grades, aspirations, and financial situation had no relation to satisfaction.Presented at the meetings of the North Central Sociological Association in Toledo, Ohio, April 17, 1993. 相似文献

This study examined Asian international graduate students’ expectations of and attitudes toward counseling by using U.S. graduate
students as a comparative reference group. Survey data from 189 Asian international and 186 U.S. students were subject to
analyses. Results indicated that Asian international students, in comparison with U.S. students, indicated less exposure to
counseling, less self-perceived need for counseling, greater discomfort/shame with counseling, less openness to counseling,
a greater preference for a directive style, and a greater preference for a flexible counseling format. Language and cultural
concerns were barriers to seeking counseling. Implications for culturally responsive services were discussed. 相似文献

The authors examined cultural adjustment and psychological distress issues in 190 Asian and Latin American international college students. Findings revealed that Latin American students reported higher levels of psychological distress than did their Asian peers. Moreover, length of residence in the U.S. was negatively associated with psychological distress symptoms, and acculturative distress and intercultural competence concerns were positively related to psychological distress in both groups. Implications of the findings are discussed. 相似文献

U.S. community colleges are considered historical sites of educational access and opportunity for social mobility for nontraditional students. Theoretically framed in Acker’s theory of gendered organizations, this qualitative study explores low-income pregnant and parenting student mothers’ experiences with community colleges, spaces that are designed for an abstract, “ideal student.” Gendered analyses of in-depth interviews from 17 low-income pregnant and parenting student mothers across three community colleges in the Northeastern U.S. reveal compromised classroom and campus wide experiences that negatively impact processes of education and social growth. Findings illustrate the complexity of experiences for this marginalized student group who “do school” in institutional spaces that fail to meet their needs as students with multiple roles. Recommendations for institutional supports are offered. 相似文献

A sample of 141 international students from different U.S. colleges completed surveys related to social support, demographic variables, and acculturative stress. Findings indicated that social support and English proficiency uniquely contribute to the variance in students' acculturative stress. Results also indicated that students who primarily socialized with non‐Americans and that students from Asian countries experienced more acculturative stress compared with other subgroups. Implications are discussed and suggestions for counseling practice are provided. 相似文献

This study examined whether: (1) the non-academic constructs of psychological well-being, motivation to learn and quality of life (QOL) explained the variance in the academic achievement of students with disability; and (2) students with a mental health disability (MHD) differed from students with other disability on academic achievement and on the aforementioned non-academic constructs. Eighty-three students with disability were administered the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, the World Health Organisation QOL questionnaire, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Grade-point average was used as the measure of academic achievement. The results showed that measures of social relationships and self-efficacy were significant explanatory variables that could clarify the variance in academic achievement. Secondly, students with MHD differed from students with other disabilities on measures of psychological health, physical health, and social relationships. The findings have consequences for learning services provided to students with disability. It highlights the importance of examining the influence of disability type on student’s cognitive and behavioural dimensions such as their motivation to learn, engagement, persistence and academic attainment. 相似文献
