Abstract
Framed by Social Cognitive Career Theory, the current study examined relationships between acculturative stress, social support from the host country, and career outcome expectations among international students in the United States of America (N = 555). Results indicated that acculturative stress was negatively related to social support and career outcome expectations. Additionally, decreased social support indirectly and partially explained relationships between acculturative stress and outcome expectations. Findings suggest that in order to promote more positive career outcome expectations for international students, counselors should not only address acculturative stress, but also its influence on host country social support.
