International students are a continuously growing population in the United States and contributes significantly to the U.S. economy. Especially, Asian international students make up the majority of the international student population, however, this population remains to be one of the most understudied and underserved by researchers. Acculturative stress is one of the significant concerns among international students considering the negative consequences including poor psychological well-being. The purpose of this dissertation study was to examine the relationship between mindfulness-based activities and acculturative stress in Asian international students. The literature mainly focuses on social interventions in Asian international students. Given that Asian international students are hesitant to seek out therapy services due to cultural stigma and shame, mindfulness-activities which they are likely to be more familiar with their cultures seem to be a great additional intervention tool. This dissertation study is a quantitative study which involves Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and independent sample t-tests. The correlation analysis found a significant relationship between the level of mindfulness and the level of acculturative stress, whereas the independent sample t-test indicated a non-significant relationship between these two variables. Overall, it is difficult to accurately understand the relationship between mindfulness-based activities and acculturative stress due to several methodological weaknesses of the study such as a lack of random assignment and low numbers of participants. However, the correlational analysis suggests there is a possibility that engaging in mindfulness-based activities reduces the levels of acculturative stress in Asian international students. For future studies, it is recommended that researchers use a larger sample size with random assignment to examine the relationship between mindfulness-based activities and acculturative stress.
