Abstract

This study is a empirical study to investigate the mediating effect of self-efficacy and social support in the relationship between SNS use time and acculturation stress for Chinese students. A survey was conducted from April 1 to 12, 2022 on 239 Chinese students from universities across the country using Wenjuanxing questionnaires. Descriptive statistics analysis and Baron and Kenny hierarchical regression analysis were performed on the collected data using SPSS 26.0, and bootstrapping was performed to verify the mediating effect. As a result of the study, SNS use time had a significant effect on the self-efficacy and social support. The acculturation stress was significantly influenced by SNS use time, self-efficacy, and social support. SNS use time had a significant effect on acculturation stress, and self-efficacy and social support had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between SNS use time and acculturation stress. Therefore, based on the above research, SNS can be used to develop the projects for International students to enhance their cultural adaptative ability and thus alleviate the acculturation stress. This study can serve as the foundational and supplementary materials for the follow-up study of SNS and acculturation stress.

본 연구는 중국 유학생을 대상으로 SNS 이용시간과 문화적응 스트레스의 관계에서 자기효능감과 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 탐색하기 위한 실증연구이다. 온라인 전문 설문조사 업체인 '문지위안썽(問卷星)'에 설문을 통하여 2022년 4월 1일에서 4월 12일까지 총 239명의 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터는 SPSS 26.0을 활용하여 기술통계분석 및 Baron과 Kenny 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였고, 매개효과 검증을 위해 부트스트래핑을 실시하였다. 연구결과, SNS 이용시간은 사회적 지지와 지기효능감에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. SNS 이용시간, 자기효능감, 사회적 지지는 문화적응 스트레스에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. SNS 이용시간은 문화적응 스트레스에 직접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며 자기효능감과 사회적 지지를 통한 부분 매개효과가 나타났다. 연구결과의 시사점으로, SNS를 이용한 유학생의 문화적응 증진 프로그램의 개발과 활용이 유학생의 문화적응 스트레스 완화에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 SNS와 문화적응 스트레스에 대한 후속연구의 기초자료를 제공했다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다.
