Self-Construals, Coping, and Stress in Cross-Cultural Adaptation.
Cross, Susan E.
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v26 n6 p673-97 Nov 1995
Examined differences in the independent and interdependent self-construals of 79 American and 71 East Asian graduate students studying in the United States and the influence of these self-construals on coping and stress. Self-construals and direct coping were the strongest predictors of stress for East Asian students, but were not predictive of perceived stress for American students. (GR)
