【摘要】 现代社会,随着全球化范围的日益增加,跨文化适应问题的研究渐渐成为社会科学的一个重要分支。此外,全球范围内越来越多的学者和专家专注于跨文化适应这个课题并花费大量时间致力于此。国际化教育趋势日益明显,中国的各大高校对外专外教的需求量在不断增长,一方面是需要满足各高校的教学需要；另一方面,中国学生渴望从外教那里学到更多国外的最新技术和知识。长期以来,外专外教的外在生活条件层面的需求往往得到满足,并且生活习俗、宗教信仰等也常常被考虑在内。但是中国高校的管理者却忽略了他们想要融入中国文化的想法。事实上,外教们想要在中国顺利地工作和生活,就必须要面对的一个问题：跨文化的适应性。这篇论文借鉴了社会学、心理学以及传播学的一些研究成果和结论,着手于跨文化适应问题,运用了定性和定量分析的方法。此外,本文提出了两个关于跨文化适应性的问题并进行了讨论,这两个问题是：(1)外教们来到中国,是否能够真正,或者说从多大程度上适应在中国的生活?(2)哪些原因影响了他们的跨文化适应以及我们应该采取哪些措施来帮助他们适应在中国的生活?本文应用了Colleen Ward有关跨文化适应的两分理论,作者从两方面：即跨文化适应性和心理适应性,来分析外专外教们在中国的适应性问题。根据上述提出的两个问题,作者也相应地提出了几种假设并通过问卷的形式调查了在大连从教的38名外国专家、教学以及学者。这38位外教来自于辽宁省大连市的13所高等院校。在调查之后,由SPSS统计学软件所做出的各项分析结果显示：作者的部分假设得到了论证。尽管来自本文的一些研究成果仍然有待于进行进一步的论证,但是我们大致可以得出一些外教们在跨文化适应中的一些基本规律和过程。此外,这篇论文同样为中国高校外事机构在选拔和培训外教的过程中提供了宝贵且有意义的参考。更多还原

【Abstract】 With the increasing development of the globalization in modern society, the research of the cross-culture has gradually become a significant branch of the social science. In addition, more and more scholars and professors throughout the world focus on the issue of the cross-cultural adaptation and devote themselves to this subject.In the process of international education, the number of the foreign professors and teachers which Chinese universities need has been increasing gradually these years. On one hand, we need them for teaching. On the other hand, Chinese students are eager to communicate with them because most of the students don’t have chance to go abroad. The young would like to know and learn more from them.In a long period, Chinese universities’administrators lay emphasis on providing them for comfortable life conditions as much as possible, taking their living habits and religious customs into consideration. Nevertheless, the fact that the foreign specialists would like to adjust themselves into the Chinese culture is neglected. Actually, if the foreign professors or experts want to work and live a comfortable life smoothly and successfully, they must confront with the challenge of the cross-cultural adaptation.Based on the perspective of the cross-cultural subject, this thesis manipulates the methods of quantitative and qualitative study and makes use of the achievements of sociology, psychology and communication. The paper puts forward two questions in regard to cross-cultural adaptation and makes a discussion. These two questions are:1. What’s the condition of their cross-cultural adaptation in China?2. What factors influence their adaptation and what measures should we take to help them adapt to the daily life in China?This thesis applies the theory of Colleen Ward’s adaptation, i.e. the author analyzes the cross-cultural adaptation of the foreign professors and experts from two aspects:sociocultural adaptation and psychological adaptation. According to the two questions mentioned above, the author suggests correlative assumptions and investigates the conditions of the 38 foreign experts or professors’cross-cultural adaptation by questionnaire. These 38 foreigners are from 13 universities of Dalian district, Liaoning Province. After investigating, the author uses SPSS to analyze the data from the view of reliability, correlation and T-test. The result indicates that a part of the author’s assumptions are partially proved.Although further demonstration is still needed for the research achievements from this paper, the regular pattern and process of foreign experts’cross-cultural adaptation in China are revealed essentially. Meanwhile, this paper also provides valuable and meaningful reference for the college’s Foreign Affairs Office (FAO) to select and train foreign professors or experts.更多还原
