The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between acculturative stress and well-being, and relevant socio-economic factors among foreign-born Arab international students in the United States. This dissertation was an exploratory study that utilized an ex-post facto framework and purposive sampling to gain participants. T-tests, Pearson correlational coefficient (<i>r</i>), and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to obtain the result of this study. The finding from a sample (<i>N</i>=73) provided affirmative support for some of the research questions and indicated that there were statistically significant relationships between acculturative stress and social support, and well-being and length of stay. There were significant differences between some English language proficiency groups that were associated with acculturative stress. However, the rest of the findings of this study did not provide affirmative support for the remaining research questions. Implications for international offices, university counseling centers, and faculty members, as well as limitations and recommendations for future studies, were discussed. 2020 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo159441072560676 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo159441072560676 restricted--full text unavailable until 2022-08-31 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
