This dissertation research began with a pilot study that examined 24 international students' psychological well-being via the Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62). English and Chinese versions of those psychological measures were administered to compare participants' reported distress levels when different languages were used. No significant difference was found on a majority of the measures. When discrepancies were found, participants consistently reported higher levels of distress in English than in Chinese, which rejected the researcher's hypothesis. A subsequent study was conducted on 54 participants to further examine the score discrepancy on the BAI and BDI-II. Paired-samples t-tests conducted on a total of 78 participants showed that participants reported significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression on English measures than on Chinese measures. Bayesian analyses were conducted to investigate participants' response style, given findings from past literature. It was speculated that although participants responded to Chinese measures more conservatively, English and Chinese measures may be equivalent in assessing psychological distress. This dissertation research aimed to serve as an impetus research in providing empirical evidences to assessing non-native English speaking international students' psychological status in the U.S.
