The Relationship between Previous Foreign Language Study and Personality Change in Youth Exchange Participants.

Stitsworth, Michael H.

Foreign Language Annals, v21 n2 p131-37 Apr 1988

Adolescents' responses to California Psychological Inventory before and after one-month homestay in Japan indicated that all had become more flexibile and independent and less conventional. Those students who had either no previous language study or three or four semesters of language study prior to the homestay changed more than those with one or two semesters of language study.
