Abstract
With the booming development of international education, China has become an important destination for many international students. However, facing a brand new cultural environment, the cross-cultural adaptation problem of international students has become more and more prominent. Through an empirical investigation, this study aims to reveal the key factors affecting their adaptation process. Through a questionnaire survey this paper collected data from international students in China. The results of the analysis show that factors such as level of interpersonal interaction, Chinese language proficiency, cultural distance, time spent in China, and satisfaction all have a significant impact on international students' cross-cultural adaptation. This study not only provides new perspectives for understanding the process of international students' intercultural adaptation, but also explores the characteristics of sociocultural adaptation of international students in Chinese cultural and educational contexts through known antecedent factors.
