Abstract | After Chinese students come to the U.S., the acculturation process is an important predictor of Chinese international college students' personal well-being and future academic achievement. Researchers and practitioners keep seeking factors that could help them in the acculturation process. This research investigated how those students' parenting styles and communication relate to their acculturation. 294 Chinese international college students from colleges in South Florida were recruited to complete a set of questionnaires, including the Scale of Parenting Styles (Gafoor & Abidha, 2014), Willingness to Communicate Scale (McCroskey, 1997), as well as Acculturation Questionnaire (Tong, 2014). The correlational analysis result revealed that parenting styles are related to Chinese international college students' acculturation, and that Chinese international college students' willingness to communicate is positively relevant with their acculturation outcomes and parental control. Nevertheless, no significant relationship was found between parental responsiveness and children's willingness to communicate. Limitations, practical implications and directions for future research were discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
