Commission for International Adult Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) Commission for International Adult Education (CIAE) Annual Pre-Conference (72nd, Lexington, KY, Oct 2-3, 2023)
Recent studies examining college student behaviors in America, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, India, Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam) and Turkey have each reported notable depression and anxiety rates among college students. During this time when college student depression and anxiety is being described as prevalent across many countries, international college students' fitting-in and feeling a sense of belonging in their respective academic environments is a focal point extremely worthy of attention. This study features primary resources and existing literature that detail international students' stress factors, anxiety related behaviors, and the roles these factors play in contributing to international students experiencing the Imposter Syndrome that is, a lack of a sense of belonging. Factors found to be likely contributors to international students experiencing the Imposter Syndrome include language acquisition in academic and social settings, course implementation by instructors, course selection outcomes, and parent-student relationship pressures as they relate to parents' expectations and students' academic outcomes. Findings from this study can be useful to instructors, administrators, student counselors, and academic advisors of international students. [For the full proceedings, see ED665621.]
