The purpose of this research study is to examine how international students, identified as sojourners, perceive their own ethnic identity during cross-cultural transitions through the voices of Taiwanese international doctoral students in the United States (U.S.). This study delineated Taiwanese international doctoral students' in-country identity and out-of-country identity, expounded on how their in-country identity and out-of-country identity helped them develop their ethnic identity, and illustrated their perception of ethnic identity development.

520 $a The purpose of this research study is to examine how international students, identified as sojourners, perceive their own ethnic identity during cross-cultural transitions through the voices of Taiwanese international doctoral students in the United States (U.S.). This study delineated Taiwanese international doctoral students' in-country identity and out-of-country identity, expounded on how their in-country identity and out-of-country identity helped them develop their ethnic identity, and illustrated their perception of ethnic identity development.
520 $a This study employed a qualitative research design which consisted of a series of individual, face-to-face, one-on-one, confidant, open-ended, semi-structured, and tape-recorded interviews of 15 Taiwanese international doctoral students in various higher education institutions. The researcher delved into these participants' ethnic identification, experiences with the majority, development of a positive ethnic identity, other influences and experiences, and ethnic involvement during their sojourning in the U.S. From their stories emerged four major themes: sojourning experiences, ethnic identity, practices and behavioral ties to cultural background, and stereotypes.
520 $a This study found that Taiwanese international doctoral students' in-country identity is Taiwanese and their out-of-country identity is Chinese. They experienced the discrepancies and contradictions between in-country identity and out-of-country identity and gained an opportunity to sense, examine, and develop their ethnic identity. They argued that Taiwanese and Chinese are essentially different and embraced Taiwanese, an in-country identity, to be their ethnic identity. In addition to refusing to be labeled as Chinese, they applied the term Taiwanian as the demonym to self-describe. Their ethnic identity development can be considered a dynamic, continuous, and complex process with self-reflection. The findings of this study indicated the importance of critical thinking in ethnic identity and made suggestions for international students as well as educational institutions. Limitations of the study, recommendations for future research, and conclusions were also presented.
