Nilsson, Johanna E.; Butler, Jenay; Shouse, Sarah; Joshi, Chetan
Journal of College Counseling, v11 n2 p147 Fall 2008
This study examined relationships among perfectionism, acculturation, and stress in 76 Asian international students. Results showed that perfectionism and acculturation predicted stress, together accounting for 50% of the variance in stress. Furthermore, acculturation explained students' experience of stress above and beyond perfectionism, and 1 specific acculturation variable examined, perceived prejudice, revealed the strongest relationship with stress. Implications for providing counseling services to international students and for future research are described. (Contains 2 tables.)
