It is increasingly popular for college students to
study abroad. Almost 250,000 students from the U.S.
study abroad each year. Students often report that
their time abroad is transformative, enriching, and
one of the best experiences of their lives. These
glowing reports are encouraging, but until now there
have been very few scientific research studies on how
going abroad affects students'' identity and personal
growth. This book describes a thorough and empirical
investigation of how students change while abroad.
Students abroad experienced personal growth, higher
life satisfaction, higher self-esteem, and other
positive changes. Students with certain traits, such
as extraversion and openness to experience, were
especially likely to experience positive change.
Various social behaviors abroad, as well as living
with a host family, were associated with identity
change. The findings are also explained in terms of
three well-known theories of identity. Findings from
this study can help students, parents, and
study-abroad professionals take steps to ensure that
study abroad is a particularly rewarding and
meaningful event.
