- Abstract
The current study aimed to examine the direct and indirect relationships between cultural intelligence, and the problems (academic, cultural, psychological, and economic) faced by Omani international students, using the adaptation styles as mediators. In addition, the study investigated the differences in these problems based on gender, study year, and their interactions. The study sample consisted of 1333 students enrolled in different higher educational institutions abroad. Three questionnaires were used to collect the data: International Students' Problems, Cultural Intelligence, and Adaptation Styles. The study findings approved the casual model that explained the direct and indirect (through positive adaptation styles) relationships between cultural intelligence and the problems. The study provided some suggestions for future research and some recommendations to prepare international students to have a better experience and to follow up with them during their study.
