A Study of Intercultural Adjustment Regarding Time Orientation of Russian Students in the U.S. Academic Environment

Year: 2013

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: : The study investigates intercultural adjustment (IA) of Russian students to the U.S. academic environment. IA is examined through the lens of the Time orientation (T orientation) of Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck’s (1961) theory of value orientations. The study reveals students ’ T orientation and degrees, perceived difficulties, and strategies of adjustment. Increased international contacts over the last few decades have influenced exchanges in the field of education. This increase in international educational exchanges has received attention of researchers from various fields who have seen the need to study the complex nature and structure of intercultural exchange processes.
