Abstract: | The study examined how particular demographic and multicultural personality variables might predict university adjustment
of international students in Turkey. One hundred and twenty-one international students from five geographical regions, including
Middle Central Asia, the Balkans, the Middle East, the Kafkasia Region, and the Russian Federations, studying in a main university
in İzmir, Turkey, participated in the study. The Multicultural Personality Questionnaire (Van der Zee and Van Oudenhoven,
2000) and a demographic information questionnaire were used to collect data, which were examined in regard to responses to the
University Life Scale (Aladağ, Kağnıcı, Tuna and Tezer, 2003). According to the results, while demographic variables did not significantly predict the university adjustment of international
students, multicultural personality variables did. Social initiative, emotional stability, open-mindedness and cultural empathy
were found to be significant predictors of university adjustment. |
