Objective. As economic globalization continues to expand, the number of Third Culture Youths (TCYs) grows as well. Since previous research conducted on TCYs has been limited, the present study focused on the psychosocial adjustment at an international school in Hong Kong. Method. There were a total of 70 male and 58 female adolescent participants ranging from ages 11 to 18 from various countries. Archived data were analyzed to compare the Hong Kong and American means, and explore potential gender and nationality differences. Results. It was found that the overall Hong Kong means for depression, anxiety, and disruptive behavior were higher than those of non-clinical American norms. At the same time, however, when compared to the US clinical sample, the Hong Kong means on these variables were significantly lower. Hong Kong participants also had significantly lower self-concept scores compared to both the non-clinical and clinical American sample. Further analyses revealed no significant differences between male and female adolescents in the Hong Kong sample on study variables and this was also the case with respect to differences among the various national groups. Conclusions. Implications and limitations of analyses are discussed and explored factoring in culture. It is recommended that the mental health needs of international students in Hong Kong be monitored and preventive program developed. Further research for TCYs in Hong Kong are elaborated to include larger sample sizes from various international schools.
