Through Comparison of a PAC Analysis Before and After Coming to Japan

Abstract

In this study, we conducted a PAC analysis of Chinese international students before and after coming to Japan and investigated what kind of anxiety they felt as a result of COVID-19. The results showed that their anxiety after coming to Japan changed to the following three points: anxiety about adapting to a different cultural environment, anxiety about daily life, and anxiety about the economy.
