Career Counseling for International Students: Using the Framework of Social Cognitive Career Theory - 2018 (chapter 14)
(IGI Global, 2018) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, Ayşe
International students are a group with diverse career needs and concerns. The challenges international students face (e.g., psychological and sociocultural adjustment issues, language barriers, sense of loss, financial problems, getting used to a new educational system) when they come to study in the United States, as well as their expectations of coming to a new country, may significantly influence their career needs and decision-making processes. In this chapter, the authors suggest social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as a framework for working with the undergraduate and graduate international student population by emphasizing intervention strategies and making specific recommendations.

Psychological Adaptation, Marital Satisfaction, and Academic Self-Efficacy of International Students
(2017) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, Ayşe
The authors investigated marital satisfaction and academic self-efficacy in relation to psychological adaptation (i.e., psychological well-being, life satisfaction) in a sample of 198 married international students. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated that marital satisfaction and academic self-efficacy accounted for 45.9% of variance in psychological well-being and 25.8% of variance in life satisfaction scores. Based on the results, the differences between cognitive and emotion oriented processes during psychological adaptation were explained. The authors discuss implications for programs with international students and mental health professionals working in university campuses.
The Interplay of Work-Family Life and Psychosocial Adjustment for International Graduate Students
(Unspecified, 2017) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, Ayşe
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the literature on the interplay of work-family life and psychosocial adjustment of married international graduate students to the United States, provide evidence for a complicated and integrated support mechanism for married international graduate students, and make specific recommendations. Empirical studies on student and expatriate work-family life and psychosocial adjustment are reviewed. Studies indicated a significant negative relationship between work-family conflict and (a) life satisfaction, (b) work satisfaction, and (c) family satisfaction. Moreover, studies signified a positive relationship between work-family balance and (a) psychological well-being and (b) sociocultural adjustment. Due to the difficulty of separating work and family domains for married international graduate students, it will be critical to find ways to support international graduate students’ work and family life in an integrated way, which would help with their psychosocial adjustment to the United States. This support could be done through organizing seminars or workshops on healthy work-family balance, having their spouses involved in the graduate student orientation program, or discussing work-family issues and their influence on married graduate students’ lives through group programs. The paper’s implications would be of value to married international graduate students who are planning to study in a foreign country by helping ease their adjustment process.

Work-Family Balance and Psychosocial Adjustment of Married International Students
(2018) Bulgan, Gökçe; Çiftçi, Ayşe
The authors investigated how work-family balance mediated therelationship between personality traits, gender roles, social support, andpsychosocial adjustment. Data were collected from 243 marriedinternational graduate students (MIGSs) studying in the United States.Results of structural equation modeling indicated that personality traitsinfluence the psychosocial adjustment process. In addition, beingextraverted, agreeable, and conscientious contributed to balancingacademic and family life, whereas having neurotic tendencies such asexperiencing depression and anxiety diminished work-family balance.Work-family balance did not mediate the relationship between personalitytraits, gender roles, social support, and psychosocial adjustment. Theauthors discussed the findings by considering clinical implications andmaking suggestions for future research.
