本研究采用共识质性研究方法对美国1.5代亚裔大学生（N = 10）的适应体验进行了调查。结果表明，适应经历分为4个领域：移民前经历、文化适应和文化适应经历、跨文化关系和支持系统。参与者报告说，英语水平在他们最初的适应中起了重要作用。目前，大多数参与者都表示对美国和亚洲文化都有认同感。一些参与者报告说过去曾经历过种族主义。许多与会者指出，他们目前不难与不同文化背景的人建立友谊。参与者报告说，他们目前感觉与有着相似背景的朋友最亲密，他们通常会向朋友、家人和宗教组织寻求支持，但不会向心理学家或咨询师寻求支持。
Adaptation experiences of 1.5-generation Asian American college students (N = 10) were examined using the consensual qualitative research method. Results indicated 4 domains of adaptation experiences: preimmigration experiences, acculturation and enculturation experiences, intercultural relationships, and support systems. Participants reported that English proficiency played a significant role in their initial adjustment. Currently, most of the participants reported feeling identified with both the U.S. and Asian cultures. Some participants reported having experienced racism in the past. Many participants noted that they currently have no difficulty establishing friendships with culturally different persons. Participants reported currently feeling most close to friends of a similar background and that they usually seek support from friends, family, and religious organizations, but not from a psychologist or counselor.
