International students make up 5.5% of all university students in the United States. In addition, international students consist of approximately 4% of the student population in Christian higher education. Although there is a significant number of international students enrolled in faith-based institutions, this population remains underrepresented in multicultural psychological literature. Thus, applying the intrapersonal-interpersonal-spiritual framework, we interviewed 15 international students from a Christian university to investigate their unique and shared experiences with the general international student population in the United States. The Consensual Qualitative Research method (CQR) was employed, and seven principal domains were identified: (a) religiousness, (b) reactions toward international students, (c) social support and acceptance, (d) hopes and expectations, (e) cultural adaptation, (f) cultural differences, and (g) international student identity. Similar themes to those present in the existing international student literature were established, but differential themes related to religiousness were discovered as well. Implications for Christian campuses are discussed.

“我曾在异乡旅行”:对在基督教大学就读的国际学生的心理经历的质询

国际学生占美国所有大学生的5.5%。此外,国际学生约占基督教高等教育学生人数的4%。尽管有大量的国际学生报读基于信仰的机构,但在多元文化心理学文献中,这一群体的人数仍然不足。因此,我们运用人际内部-人际精神框架,采访了来自一所基督教大学的15名国际学生,以调查他们与美国一般国际学生群体的独特共享经验。采用了共识性定性研究方法(CQR),确定了七个主要领域:(a)宗教信仰,(b)对国际学生的反应,(c)社会支持和接受,(d)希望和期望,(e)文化适应,(f)文化差异和(g)国际学生身份。建立了与现有国际学生文学中的主题相似的主题,但也发现了与宗教有关的不同主题。讨论了对基督教校园的影响。
