Family and Cultural Adaptation--The Role of Family in Fostering Students Cross-Cultural Competency
Recent cross-cultural opportunities have started to open up a variety of cultural tensions and visible exclusionary practices,which are of serious concerns.In Taiwan,just within the recent years,the influx of international students and new migrant spouses has risen significantly.In effect,these incidents have gradually transformed the school campus and the Taiwanese society in general,into a more diversified community.With the notion that college students are the countrys future generation,it is therefore quite important to develop their cross-cultural competence early in their college lives.This presentation shall detail an empirical study on the role of school and family in fostering students cross-cultural competency.A total of 1032 valid responses were gathered and analyzed.Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze and develop a model of relationships among the factors.Results show that students exposure to a cross-cultural accepting environment has greatly enhanced their cross-cultural competency.In addition,SEM also shows that the family factor significantly acts as a mediator in the development of a students cross-cultural competency.
