虽然跨文化研究表明，次要应对策略的发展和功能受到更广泛的文化背景的影响，但研究结果并不完全是结论性的。一些研究表明，与西方人相比，亚洲参与者的次要应对方式更具适应性，而另一些研究则强调亚洲而不是西方背景下应对方式的适应性。本研究的主要目的是系统地测试种族和上下文的差异，在有效性的二级策略（接受和积极的重新解释的形式测量），在减少的负面影响，文化适应压力的躯体症状与样本的国际学生。在两种不同的背景下进行了为期3个月的纵向研究：（a）在中国的亚洲和西方国际学生（亚洲人：n = 53，西方人：n = 51）和（B）在新西兰的类似群体（亚洲人：n = 61，西方人：n = 65）。以心理症状的变化为因变量，对数据进行分层回归分析。研究结果表明，压力，二级应对，和文化背景显着相互作用，预测躯体症状的变化。具体而言，次级应对加剧了新西兰的文化适应压力对心理适应的负面影响。相比之下，在中国，次级应对起着缓冲作用，随着时间的推移，它可以有效地减少压力的负面影响。研究结果表明，种族没有显着缓和的压力应对调整关系。我们的研究结果表明，二级应对的有效性不同的文化背景的功能。
Although cross-cultural research suggests that the development and functionality of secondary coping strategies are substantially influenced by the broader cultural context, research findings are not completely conclusive. Some studies indicate that secondary coping is more adaptive for Asian participants compared with Westerners, while others emphasize the adaptability of the coping style in Asian, but not Western, contexts. The main objective of the present study was to systematically test for ethnic and contextual differences in the effectiveness of secondary strategies (measured in the form of acceptance and positive reinterpretation) in reducing the negative effects of acculturative stress on somatic symptoms with samples of international students. A 3-month longitudinal study was conducted in two different contexts: (a) Asian and Western international students in China (Asians: n = 53, Westerners: n = 51) and (b) similar groups in New Zealand (Asians: n = 61, Westerners: n = 65). The data were subjected to a hierarchical regression analysis with changes in psychological symptoms functioning as the dependent variable. Findings indicated that stress, secondary coping, and cultural context significantly interacted in predicting changes in somatic symptoms. Specifically, secondary coping exacerbated the negative effects of acculturative stress on psychological adjustment in New Zealand. In contrast, secondary coping functioned as a buffer in China, such that it was effective at reducing the negative impact of stress over time. Findings indicated that ethnicity did not significantly moderate the stress–coping–adjustment relationship. Our results show that the effectiveness of secondary coping varies as a function of the cultural context.
