【摘要】：跨文化适应研究一直以来都是跨文化交际领域的热点，在国外跨文化适应研究已经取得了长足的发展，不同领域的学者从不同的学科角度提出跨文化适应的模型以及测量工具，且涉及的应用范围也很广泛。但是在中国，跨文化研究在二十世纪八十年代初刚刚起步，跨文化适应的研究多数也仅仅局限于中国人在国外的文化适应。随着中国的对外开放不断深入，在华英国旅居工作者的数量迅速上升，这群特殊群体在中国的适应情况已经成为了跨文化适应研究的关注热点。本研究采用定性和定量两种研究方法，旨在了解该群体在中国的文化适应情况，找出其影响因素，，希望对英国旅居者在上海的跨文化适应有所帮助和启迪。在定性研究部分，通过对10名在沪工作的英国旅居者的访谈，了解其跨文化适应水平、结果以及影响因素，进而选取部分重要因素作为量化问卷调查的主要影响变量。访谈结果表明，在沪英国工作者的适应结果可归结为三方面：社会文化和心理适应，生活工作满意感，以及跨文化身份建构，这些结果受到在中国时间、跨文化沟通能力（包括语言能力）、社会支持和人格等诸多因素的影响。在定量研究部分，由于目前跨文化身份没有有效的测量工具，所以本研究中以问卷形式对56名在沪英国工作者的社会文化适应，心理文化适应和生活工作满意度进行测量，定量研究结果发现该群体的跨文化适应程度都处于中上水平，三个结果变量之间，社会文化适应与心理适应以及生活工作满意感呈正相关。在跨文化适应影响因素方面，性别、年龄、教育程度以及职业在三个结果变量上均没有显著的组间差异。通过对影响变量的相关系数和多元回归分析发现，在沪时间、中文能力、社会支持以及人格（灵活度除外）对适应结果在一定程度上都呈正向预测作用，其中社会支持对跨文化适应结果的影响最大。
[Abstract]:Cross-cultural adaptation research has always been a hot topic in the field of cross-cultural communication. In foreign countries, cross-cultural adaptation research has made great progress. Scholars in different fields have proposed cross-cultural adaptation models and measurement tools from different disciplines, and the scope of application is also wide. But in China, cross-cultural research is in two parts In the early 1980s, most studies on cross-cultural adaptation were confined to Chinese cultural adaptation abroad. With the deepening of China's opening up, the number of British expatriate workers in China has risen rapidly. The adaptation of these special groups in China has become a hot topic in cross-cultural adaptation research. The purpose of this study is to understand the cultural adaptation of this group in China and find out its influencing factors. It is hoped that this study will be helpful and enlightening to the British expatriates in their cross-cultural adaptation in Shanghai.
In the part of qualitative research, 10 British expatriates working in Shanghai were interviewed to find out their cross-cultural adaptation level, results and influencing factors, and some important factors were selected as the main influencing variables of the quantitative questionnaire survey. These results are influenced by time, intercultural communication ability (including language ability), social support and personality in China.
In the part of quantitative research, because there is no effective measurement tool for cross-cultural identity, this study used questionnaire to measure the social and cultural adaptation, psychological and cultural adaptation and job satisfaction of 56 British workers in Shanghai. Among the outcome variables, socio cultural adaptation is positively correlated with psychological adjustment and job satisfaction.
There were no significant differences among the three outcome variables in terms of gender, age, education level and occupation. The correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis showed that in Shanghai time, Chinese language ability, social support and personality (except flexibility) all contributed to the adaptation results to a certain extent. Social support has the greatest impact on the results of cross-cultural adaptation.
