“…Various factors such as growth mindsets, language adaptation, adverse childhood experiences, mindfulness practices and social support have also been studied in relation to psychological wellbeing of Chinese students. Developing growth mindsets, linguistic acculturation, buffering effects of mindfulness on negative childhood experiences, and enhancing social support have all shown connections to improve mental health outcomes in this population [20,21].…”

This paper examines the intersection of language, identity, and well-being among Chinese international students, with a focus on counseling considerations. The unique experiences and challenges faced by Chinese international students in navigating linguistic, cultural, and psychological dimensions are explored within the context of higher education. Drawing upon a review of existing literature and empirical research, this study investigates the impact of language barriers, cultural identity, and acculturation processes on the well-being of Chinese international students. Furthermore, the paper discusses the role of counseling in addressing the mental health needs of this population, considering the factors that influence help-seeking behaviors and counseling outcomes. This paper offers insights into effective counseling approaches tailored to support the linguistic, cultural, and psychological well-being of Chinese international students in U.S. higher education settings. Recommendations for counseling practice, policy development, and future research are provided to enhance the capacity of counseling services to address the diverse needs of Chinese international students and promote their holistic development and academic success.

Acculturation and psychopathology are linked in integrated, interactional, intersectional, and dynamic ways that span different types of intercultural contact, levels of analysis, timescales, and contexts. A developmental psychopathology approach can be useful to explain why, how, and what about psychological acculturation results in later adaptation or maladaptation for acculturating youth and adults. This review applies a conceptual model of acculturation and developmental psychopathology to a widely used framework of acculturation variables producing an Integrated Process Framework of Acculturation Variables (IP-FAV). This new comprehensive framework depicts major predisposing acculturation conditions (why) as well as acculturation orientations and processes (how) that result in adaptation and maladaptation across the life span (what). The IP-FAV is unique in that it integrates both proximal and remote acculturation variables and explicates key acculturation processes to inform research, practice, and policy. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, Volume 19 is May 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
