Tóm tắt

Sinh viên quốc tế Trung Quốc thường gặp phải những thách thức lớn trong việc xây dựng mạng lưới liên văn hóa và nhận được sự hỗ trợ từ những thành viên bên ngoài nhóm. Để tạo điều kiện cho quá trình hội nhập xã hội của họ, nghiên cứu này đã đề xuất một mô hình nghiên cứu nhằm điều tra mối quan hệ giữa tiếp xúc trực tuyến và tiếp xúc trực tiếp với vốn xã hội trong các mạng lưới liên văn hóa (mạng lưới nguồn hỗ trợ xã hội được xây dựng giữa những sinh viên có nền văn hóa khác nhau). Chúng tôi cũng đã xem xét xem ba khía cạnh của năng lực toàn cầu (kiến thức toàn cầu, thái độ và kỹ năng) có thể trung gian cho những mối quan hệ này hay không, và liệu tiếp xúc trực tiếp có thể điều chỉnh mối quan hệ giữa tiếp xúc trực tuyến với năng lực toàn cầu và vốn xã hội hay không. Dữ liệu được thu thập từ 210 sinh viên Trung Quốc tại Bỉ. Kết quả cho thấy tiếp xúc trực tiếp có mối liên hệ tích cực với cả vốn xã hội kết nối và vốn xã hội mở rộng, thông qua các trung gian là kỹ năng và thái độ toàn cầu. Tiếp xúc trực tuyến có mối liên hệ với các biến được dự đoán theo cách phức tạp hơn. Phân tích sự điều chỉnh đã chỉ ra tiếp xúc trực tiếp là một yếu tố điều chỉnh quan trọng, ảnh hưởng đến tác động của tiếp xúc trực tuyến. Cụ thể, tiếp xúc trực tuyến có mối liên hệ tích cực với kỹ năng toàn cầu và vốn xã hội kết nối ở mức độ tiếp xúc trực tiếp thấp, thay vì mức độ cao. Ngoài ra, tiếp xúc trực tuyến có mối liên hệ tiêu cực với thái độ toàn cầu ở mức độ tiếp xúc trực tiếp thấp, thay vì mức độ cao.
