Homesickness among American and Turkish College Students.

Carden, Ayse Ilgaz; Feicht, Ruth

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v22 n3 p418-28 Sep 1991

Cultural differences in homesickness were studied for 75 U.S. and 69 Turkish female first-year students attending a private U.S. liberal arts college for women in the southeast and a coeducational university in Istanbul, respectively. Some aspects of the experience of homesickness transcended cultural boundaries, but others were culture specific. (SLD)
