本研究在考虑网络类型（英语网络和母语网络）和网络动机的情况下，调查了东亚国际学生的异文化压力与他们使用互联网之间的关系。对115名就读于美国东南部一所大型城市大学的东亚留学生进行了一项调查。平均而言，学生使用英语网络比使用母语网络更多。使用英语网络与英语水平呈正相关。分析确定了三种上网动机：信息寻求、放松/娱乐和社会效用。感知歧视是社会效用动机和放松/娱乐动机的正向预测因子。恐惧是社会效用动机的积极预测因子。
This study investigated the relationships between acculturative stress of East Asian international students and their use of the Internet, taking into account Internet types (English-language Internet and native-language Internet) and Internet motives. A survey was conducted among 115 East Asian international students who attended a large urban university in the southeastern United States. On average, students used English-language Internet more than native-language Internet. A positive correlation was found between using English-language Internet and English proficiency. The analysis identified three Internet motives: information seeking, relaxation/entertainme nt, and social utility. Perceived discrimination was a positive predictor of the motives of social utility and relax/entertainment. Fear was a positive predictor of the motive of social utility.
