The rapid growth of the Internet has drastically altered the scene
of human communication and presented new challenges to traditional
cross-cultural adaptation (CCA) research. This book is intended to
bridge CCA and Internet research by examining the role of the
Internet in the cross-cultural adaptation process. The researcher
explored how different Internet use patterns, in terms of amount
and type (host Internet use and ethnic Internet use), affect
Chinese students' sociocultural and psychological adaptation to the
American culture. A model of Internet use in CCA was proposed and
tested. The results showed that individual differences, Internet
use motives and host Internet use are significant predictors for
psychological adaptations. It is hoped that the study will not only
draw more attention from intercultural communication scholars in
studying CCA in the new media environment, but also will shed some
light on the social and cultural consequences of Internet use in a
unique context.
