Abstract (type = abstract)
This quantitative, non-experimental, study investigated the role of housing status on the relationship between acculturative stress and depression for Asian international college students. The research focused on students who originated from China and India. Theoretically, country of origin is a factor in acculturative stress levels (Berry, 1997), yet most research on acculturative stress focused on Asian students as a whole rather than grouping them by subregions. Moreover, previous research has shown that there is a direct relationship between acculturative stress and depression (Tareke Gebregergis, 2018). There is strong evidence on housing influencing health and housing as a form of social support for university students. There is a gap in research on the role of housing status (living on campus or off campus) on the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. The current study addressed three questions: (1) Is there a difference in housing status, acculturative stress, and depression levels between Chinese and Indian international college students?; (2) What is the relationship between acculturative stress and depression for Chinese and Indian international college students?; and (3) Does housing status moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and depression for Chinese and Indian international college students? Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square analysis, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, and Hayes moderation analyses were conducted. Results indicated that there was a difference in acculturative stress levels between Chinese and Indian international students, with Chinese students having higher levels of acculturative stress. There was no statistical difference in depression scores or housing status between the two groups. There was a statistically significant relationship between acculturative stress and depression, with higher acculturative stress scores associated with higher depression scores. Multiple linear regression also showed that acculturative stress was a significant predictor of depression when controlling for both demographic and housing related factors. Housing did not moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and depression. The findings may inform universities on housing policy and environment for international students.
