520 $a Year after year, the United States hosts a growing number of international students. However, many international students are unprepared in facing an unfamiliar social and educational culture.
520 $a This quantitative research analyzes the role of cognitive abilities in facilitating Cross-Cultural Adaptability (CCA) of international students during their academic sojourn in the United States. The guided questions of the study: 1) What are the Thinking Styles that relate with the constructs of the CCA Inventory? 2) What are the relationships between Thinking Dispositions as measured by the Thinking Styles Inventory and CCA as measured by the CCA Inventory? 3) Do gender, level of education, time spent in the United States, country of origin, age, and religion have an association with CCA of international students during their academic sojourn in the United States? The sample reached 82 international students from 31 countries at a small Mid-Western private higher education institution.
520 $a The analysis revealed that Global, Hierarchic, and Liberal Thinking Styles scored the highest on the CCA Emotional Resilience construct. Global and Local Thinking Styles scored the highest on the CCA Flexibility/Openness constructs. Global and Hierarchic Thinking Styles scored the highest on the CCA Personal Autonomy construct. Finally, Global and Liberal Thinking Styles showed higher percentages on the CCA Perceptual Acuity construct. There was a statistically significant correlation between the following Thinking Styles (Global, Hierarchic, Liberal, and Local) and CCA r = --0.350, n = 82, p = 0.001 < 0.05.
520 $a Gender, level of education, time spent in the United States, country of origin, age, and religion had no statistically significant association with CCA.
520 $a The Wheel of Adaptability model was created based on the results of this project. It teaches Thinking Styles that facilitates CCA through simulation of CCA situations and the helpful Thinking Styles that could be used when solving integration problems. The Wheel of Adaptability model is useful for international students' orientation programs.
