Length of stay in the United States was found to be the most important factor in Chinese students' adaptation to the host culture. The longer the stay, the more acquisition of cultural knowledge about the host society, the stronger the tendency to accept some of host country's cultural values and the less the tendency to hold on to home traditional values. Old-timers have more sophisticated use of host media than newcomers. Age is another important factor in their adaptation to the host culture. With the same length of stay in the host society, older students learn less about the host culture than their younger counterparts. Older students are less inclined to accept some of the host values than younger students and more likely to hold on to some of the traditional Chinese values. Controlling for the length of stay in the United States, two forms of host media consumption, U.S. newspapers and national TV news programs, were found to contribute to the acquisition of cultural knowledge, but not to the acceptance of any of the host country's cultural values. Using the same control of length of stay, interpersonal communication with host nationals was found to be conducive to the acceptance of some of the host cultural values, but not to the acquisition of cultural knowledge. In addition, the more cultural knowledge students acquire, the stronger is their tendency to accept host cultural values. However, the acceptance of host cultural values does not necessarily result in a rejection of home traditional values.Subjects--Topical Terms:
