Abstract

With the continuous increase in the number of international students coming to China, the issue of cross-cultural adaptation is becoming increasingly prominent. Among the many factors that affect cross-cultural adaptation of international students, social media usage of students has been one of the research focuses by scholars both domestically and internationally. The paper analyzes the common social media usage behaviors of international students studying in China, and its impact on students in terms of the social-cultural, and psychological dimensions based on the dual-dimensional model of cross-cultural adaptation, followed by proposing to encourage international students to fully utilize social media to integrate their lives and studies into Chinese community quickly, and to improve their identification with Chinese culture.
