International student seeks participants for survey

My name is Hyeyoung Bang, and I am a doctoral student in the Educational Psychology program at OSU. I am currently conducting a research project on international students¡¯ social, emotional, cultural, and communicative competence as a means to predict social adaptability. It is hoped that the study will help psychologists to understand international students¡¯ competences and how their competences predict cultural and social success. It is also anticipated that the study help international students optimize their intrapersonal emotional well-being by enhancing interpersonal supports in their environments.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. The study is being conducted entirely online and it takes about 30 minutes to complete the survey.
