          Abstract

          Background

          Research has shown that international students, specifically Chinese graduate students in South Korea, are vulnerable to stress and depression because of various factors. These include environmental changes, economic constraints, interpersonal difficulties, discrimination, and cultural conflict.

          Objective

          This study investigates the effectiveness of group art therapy in reducing acculturative stress and academic stress among Chinese graduate students in South Korea.

          Method

          Thirty participants were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental ( n = 15) and control groups ( n = 15). The experimental group received eight 120-min sessions of group art therapy. Both groups were tested for acculturative stress (perceived discrimination, homesickness, perceived hate, fear, stress due to change/culture shock) and academic stress (schoolwork stress, future stress, social stress, living environment stress) before and after the art therapy intervention. Results were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

          Results

          The results showed that there was a significantly greater reduction in acculturative and academic stress in the experimental than the control group.

          Conclusion

          Group art therapy can provide psychological and emotional support to international students studying abroad.
