“…In addition to the shared experience of unfairness based on Asian foreign status, students from certain countries may experience unique stereotypes. For example, studies have shown that Chinese international students were stereotyped as oblivious, loud, and intrusive on personal space (Ruble & Zhang, 2013), whereas Japanese students were stereotyped as being good at making small things (Bonazzo & Wong, 2007). Moreover, one study found that the effect of nationality discrimination on Asian Indian international students' psychological distress was significant even after controlling for hardiness, social support, and acculturation (Atri, Sharma, & Cottrell, 2006).…”

This study investigated how gender, racial, and nationality discrimination were related to the life satisfaction of female Asian international students directly and indirectly through loneliness, as well as how these pathways differed as a function of gender, racial, and nationality in-group solidarity. Participants were 216 female Asian international students from two public universities. Results demonstrated that all three types of discrimination predicted decreased life satisfaction. Loneliness mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and life satisfaction. In addition, these mediation pathways differed as a function of in-group solidarity (e.g., sense of attachment to one's racial group), providing evidence for conditional mediation effects. Gender solidarity was a protective factor that mitigated feelings of loneliness when experiencing gender discrimination, whereas racial and nationality solidarity were risk factors for decreased life satisfaction when experiencing loneliness. We provide research implications for international student scholars and clinical implications for university staff and clinicians.

This study examined male Asian international college students' perceptions of racial discrimination, subjective masculinity stress, centrality of masculine identity, and psychological distress by testing a moderated mediation model. Participants were 160 male Asian international college students from 2 large public universities. Participants' perceived racial discrimination was positively related to their subjective masculinity stress only at high (but not low) levels of masculine identity centrality. Additionally, subjective masculinity stress was positively related to psychological distress, although this association was stronger among those who reported high levels of masculine identity centrality. The authors also detected a moderated mediation effect in which subjective masculinity stress mediated the relationship between perceived racial discrimination and psychological distress only at high (but not low) levels of masculine identity centrality. These findings contribute to the counseling psychology literature by highlighting the connections between race- and gender-related stressors as well as the relevance of masculine identity to an understanding of men's mental health.

“…Thus the Diaspora experience is defined not by essence or purity, but by the recognition of a necessary diversity and hybridity ''through transformations and difference''. Ruble & Zhang (2013), American culture encompasses US customs and traditions. "Culture includes religion, food, what we use, how we use it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with our loved ones "And a million other things," said Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London.…”

We explored the two cultures in the two countries. There has been discussed on Chinese culture and North American culture. Chinese language, ceramics, architecture, music, dance, literature, martial arts, cuisine, visual arts, philosophy, business etiquette, religion, politics, and history have global influence, while its traditions and festivals are also celebrated, instilled, and practiced by people around the world. The culture of North America refers to the arts and other manifestations of human activities and achievements from the continent of North America. The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America. It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Keywords---American, Chinese, culture, language, life. embodied in China's diplomacy through the concept of harmony, the most important Chinese traditional value. People's character and life.We first introduce the construct of Bicultural Identity Integration (BII) as a framework for organizing and understanding individual differences in the way biculturals perceive the intersection between their mainstream and ethnic cultures. We then report experimental and structural equation modeling findings that elucidate the role of BII in the acculturation process, as well as some of BIIs psychosocial antecedents.
