ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to investigate which variables affect the adaptive flexibility of Chinese students in South Korea. This study focuses on two research questions: (1) How do social support, self-efficacy, and individual’s personal characteristics affect the adaptive flexibility of Chinese students in South Korea? (2) Are there differences in social support, self-efficacy, and adaptive flexibility amongst China students in South Korea in accordance with differences in individual’s personal characteristics? Two hundred and five students from S University, including undergraduates, graduate students, exchange students and language students, participated in this questionnaire to measure social support, self-efficacy and adaptive flexibility scales. In order to analyze the data, multiple regression analysis, two independent samples t-test, and own-way ANOVA were conducted. The findings were as follows: First, social support and self-efficacy both affected the adaptive flexibility of Chinese students. Second, there are mean differences in social support, selfefficacy, and adaptive flexibility by gender, age, ethnicity, educational level, and TOPIK level.
