“…Overall, the result from this study supported this positive association, even after we controlled for acculturative stress and the length of time in the U.S. This result was not only consistent with findings of previous studies (Rice et al, 2006;Slaney et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2007) but also extends this line of research to Chinese international students. There are several possible reasons for this association.…”

“…The coefficient alpha was .95 (.93 for the English version and .96 for the Chinese version) for Discrepancy in the present sample. The construct validity of the Discrepancy subscale was supported by the positive association with depression for American college students (Wei, Mallinckrodt, Russell, & Abraham, 2004) and Taiwanese college students (Wang et al, 2007) as well as the negative association with self-esteem for Taiwanese college students (Wang et al, 2007).…”

“…Total scores can range from 7 to 84, with higher scores indicating greater discrepancy. Slaney et al reported that coefficient alpha was .92 for Discrepancy in American college students, and Wang et al (2007) reported that coefficient alpha was .88 for Taiwanese college students. The coefficient alpha was .95 (.93 for the English version and .96 for the Chinese version) for Discrepancy in the present sample.…”

The present study examined whether maladaptive perfectionism (i.e., discrepancy between expectations and performance) and length of time in the United States moderated the association between acculturative stress and depression. Data were collected through online surveys from 189 Chinese international students from China and Taiwan attending a midwestern university. Results from a hierarchical regression showed that there were significant main effects of acculturative stress and maladaptive perfectionism on depression, no significant two-way interactions, and a significant three-way interaction, indicating that acculturative stress, maladaptive perfectionism, and length of time in the United States interacted to predict depression. Low maladaptive perfectionism buffered the effect of acculturative stress on depression only for those who had been in the United States for a relatively longer period of time. Implications for counseling and future research directions are discussed.

“…Meanwhile, Chinese students are found to bear unrealistic expectations toward academic performance (Wang, Slaney, & Rice, 2007;Wei et al, 2007). In Chinese culture, academic achievement is one of the most important criteria of success.…”

Chinese students are the biggest ethnic group of international students in the United States. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid scale to accurately measure their acculturative stress. A 72-item pool was sent online to Chinese students and a five-factor scale of 32 items was generated by exploratory factor analysis. The five factors included language insufficiency, social isolation, perceived discrimination, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. The Acculturative Stress Scale for Chinese Students demonstrated high reliability and initial validity by predicting depression and life satisfaction. It was the first Chinese scale of acculturative stress developed and validated among a Chinese student sample in the United States. In the future, the scale can be used as a diagnostic tool by mental health professionals and a self-assessment tool by Chinese students.

“…En general, la mayoría de los estudios sobre perfeccionismo han utilizado muestras norteamericanas, siendo necesario investigar la relevancia del constructo en grupos culturalmente distintos (González, Rovella, Cubas, Peñate e Ibáñez, 2002;Wang, Slaney y Rice, 2007).…”

Validación psicométrica de una escala de perfeccionismo infantil en niños venezolanos * ResumenEl perfeccionismo es una variable clínicamen-te relevante en los niños, pero hasta ahora no se ha estudiado en Venezuela. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo examinar las propiedades psicométricas de una versión culturalmente adaptada de la Escala de Perfeccionismo Infantil de Oros (2003), de procedencia argentina, en una muestra de 342 niños venezolanos escolarizados (M edad = 11.88, DE = 0.67). El análisis de los ítems permitió ratificar la permanencia de los que mostraron un buen comportamiento estadístico. La estructura del instrumento fue estudiada a través de un análisis factorial. La versión venezolana quedó conformada por 15 ítems, distribuidos en cuatro factores que explican 50.2 % de la varianza: Autodemandas absolutistas, Malestar ante el fracaso, Correlatos negativos de los errores y Autodemandas "específicas". Se estimó la consistencia interna del instrumento: el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para la escala total fue de .76. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de validez convergente con la mitad de la muestra (M edad = 11.88, DE = 0.87). Se observó una correlación positiva entre el perfeccionismo y el estrés, es decir que los niños con mayores niveles de perfeccionismo presentaron más estrés. En conclusión, la escala ha mostrado
