This paper is an attempt to answer the question on the role of the social support in the process of coping with stress within a group of Polish students in an acculturative stress situation. The research had two primary goals. The first goal was to show the differences between students of Polish nationality enrolled at foreign universities and students of Polish universities in terms of social support, coping with stress and the depression level. The second goal was to examine relations between those three variables. In order to select groups with high and low social support the scale of social support by Kmiecik-Baran has been used. In order to define styles of coping with stress, preferred by the cured drug addicts, the Polish version of The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations has been used. Both groups responded to the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), consisting of a self-evaluated scale of 21 items, each with four assertions corresponding to increasing levels of depressive symptoms. The obtained results indicate that students of Polish universities were characterized by a lower level of social support and they reported higher levels of depression than the control group of Polish students living abroad. The groups did not differ significantly with respect to the measures of coping styles. According to the results of the study, the stronger preference for the emotion-oriented coping style, the higher level of depression, which indicates that this coping style was ineffective in dealing with stressful life events in both groups of students. In addition, the level of received social support was negatively correlated (r = –0,589) with the task-oriented coping style in a group of students in Poland.

The qualitative study presented here was carried out in 2008 as a graduate diploma thesis in Psychology. It was aimed at examining Poles’ experience of living in the United States of America and two European countries, viz. Italy and the United Kingdom. The data consisted of online interviews with ten Poles: 4 from the US, 3 from Italy, and 3 in the UK. The sample was made up of nine females and one male living in the countries in question between 4 months and 17 years (age range 23–36) who had moved from Poland for reasons other than purely economic and, unlike subjects of similar studies on Polish migrants, were also able to speak the host language fluently. The analysis was carried out by means of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, 2003) that allowed to examine the participants’ individual experience of adapting to new social and cultural environments. The results were further analysed and discussed with reference to the relevant literature on the subject of individualistic and collectivist societies (Hofstede, 2001), acculturation (Berry, 2003) and migrants’ identities, as well as earlier studies carried out in the States (Boski, 1992) or in European countries (e.g. Kosic, 2006). The findings were that, regardless of gender and age, the interviewed Poles tended to express respect for the host culture and people and a strong level of identification with Poles in Poland. Despite that strong national identity, however, their level of identification

Badania nad stresem akulturacyjnym (AS) są prowadzone od pięciu dekad, niemniej nadal wiemy niewiele na jego temat. Dodatkowo, do dziś nie udało się opracować jednolitych ram badawczych dla populacji studentów międzynarodowych. Z tego też względu celem tego artykułu jest próba opracowania takich ram badawczych oraz ustalenie, w jaki sposób optymalnie korzystać z teorii i metod badawczych w zależności od kontekstu badania. W artykule dokonaliśmy systematycznego przeglądu literatury dotyczącej AS, skupiając się na 92 badaniach opublikowanych do 2020 roku. Udało nam się ustalić, że w przypadku AS można wyróżnić powtarzające się zmienne, obejmujące czynniki społeczne, kulturowe, psychologiczne, komunikacyjne i demograficzne. Dzięki tej wiedzy menedżerowie i decydenci powinni móc lepiej zrozumieć organizacje i zarządzać nimi. Ponadto w niniejszym artykule potwierdziliśmy związek pomiędzy AS a wynikami psychicznymi i behawioralnymi oraz opracowaliśmy szczegółowo ramy badawcze obejmujące uwarunkowania i skutki AS. Dodatkowo zaproponowano również kierunki dla przyszłych badań.

Although acculturative stress (AS) studies have been conducted for five decades, we still know little about it. Moreover, we do not have a specific framework for international student population. The purpose of this paper is to explore how to use theories and research methods in different contexts and develop a framework. We systematically review articles related to this field, particularly 92 studies published until 2020. There are common variables in AS, comprising social, cultural, psychological, communicative, and demographic factors which managers and decision makers should properly understand and administer in organizations. This article also confirms a link between AS and mental and behavioral outcomes. We have elaborately developed a framework including antecedents and outcomes of AS. Suggestions have also been offered for future research.
