Abstract
As the number of Chinese people in Japan is increasing, the necessity of psychological research dealing with their acculturation strategies and mental health has become increasingly important. This paper discusses the relationship between acculturation strategies and mental health of Chinese overseas. The authors reviewed some research focusing on Chinese overseas and their mental health. The preference of acculturation strategy is often not consistent and depends on factors such as resident status and host countries’ policy. Not all research which supports “integration” is connected to better mental health. Researches based in Japan should be conducted in the future.
