dc.description.abstractMoving to a new environment is usually associated with difficulties. International students have to adapt to the new environment and this can be challenging if the new environment is very different from the students‟ home environment. This study sought to explore the relationship between self-construals, self-esteem, religiosity, social support and the sociocultural adaptation of African students in North Cyprus. A total of 122 students from Sub-Saharan Africa studying in Eastern Mediterranean University completed a questionnaire which had a demographic section and the Singelis Self-construals scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the Hoge Intrinsic Religiosity Scale and the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Results showed that only the interdependent self-construal and social support predicted sociocultural adaptation. This study highlights the importance of social support for international students from Sub-Saharan Africa studying in North Cyprus. Keywords: Sociocultural adaptation, self-construals, African students, North Cyprus.en_US
dc.description.abstractÖZ: Yeni bir ortama taşınmak genellikle zorlukları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Uluslararası öğrenciler yeni ortama uyum sağlamak durumundadırlar ve eğer yeni ortam öğrencilerin kendi ülkesindeki ortamlarından çok farklı ise süreç zorlayıcı olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma, Kuzey Kıbrıs‟taki Afrikalı öğrencilerin özbenlik kurgusu, özsaygısı, dindarlığı, sosyal desteği ve sosyokültürel uyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Katılımcılar Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesi‟nde okuyan Sahra Altı Afrika‟dan 122 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamada, demografik bölüm ve “Singelis Benlik Kurgusu Ölçeği”, “Rosenberg Özsaygı Ölçeği”,“Hoge İç Güdümlü Dindarlık Ölçeği” ve “Kişilerarası Destek Değerlendirme Listesi”ni içeren bir anket kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, sadece bağımlı benlik kurgusunun ve sosyal desteğin sosyokültürel adaptasyonu yordadığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışma sosyal desteğin Sahra Altı Afrika‟dan Kuzey Kıbrıs‟a gelen öğrenciler için önemini vurgulamaktadır. Anahtar kelimeler: Sosyokültürel adaptasyon, benlik kurgusu, Afrikalı öğrenciler, Kuzey Kıbrıs.en_US
