Acculturation-Related Stressors, Mental Health, and Racial Identity Among Asian International Students

Friday, October 25, 2024
2:15 PM – 2:45 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 10B
My scoping review results identify the current literature examining acculturation-related stressors and mental health: language barriers, sociocultural stressors, and racism for Asian international students. While other acculturation-related scholars ignore racial and ethnic identity, I argue that racial and ethnic identity is important to enhance the acculturation research field.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the current state of Asian international student education in the U.S. in the context of anti-Asian sentiment and COVID-19.
  2. Describe the effects of acculturation-related stressors (language barriers, sociocultural stressors, and racism) on mental health for Asian international students.
  3. Brainstorm new ways scholars can utilize racial/ethnic identity to examine the different experiences of Asian international students and mental health.
