• TITLE: Insights into New Media Use by International Students: Implications for Cross-Cultural Adaptation Theory

  AUTHORS: Blake Hendrickson, Devan Rosen

  KEYWORDS: New Media, International Students, Argentina, Social Networking Sites, Video Chat

  JOURNAL NAME: Social Networking, Vol.6 No.2, March 6, 2017

  ABSTRACT: The current study uses a longitudinal, mixed-method approach to investigate the role that new media, such as social networking sites and video chat, play in cross-cultural adaptation and international student friendship network development. Results indicate that international students significantly increase and adapt their new media use while abroad to communicate globally with their friends and family, and locally with their newly formed relationships. Furthermore, social networking site host national friends do not necessarily lead to the development of face-to-face host national friends; however, interaction with established face-to-face host national friends and friend groups via new media platforms leads to an increased understanding of host communication patterns. Finally, this study proposes that researchers who apply Kim’s [1] cross-cultural adaptation theory consider incorporating Host New Media Communication as a principal concept.
