Description
Summary:Examines the nature of stressful situations experienced, relationships between stress-related variables, coping and health; and educational outcomes in students who study abroad. Also sought to advance understanding of 2 theoretical frameworks relevant to intercultural learning within the context of a cross-cultural learning experience over time. Health and safety were cited as primary concerns, but health was not the most common concern. Threat appraisal and challenge appraisal appear to be related but are not identical. The study reinforces the need for cross-cultural orientation of students in an effort to promote effective coping and health during a study abroad experience. (Quotes from original text)
