馬來西亞僑生在臺跨文化適應與休閒參與之研究

本研究旨在了解馬來西亞僑生在臺留學期間的跨文化適應與休閒參與之狀況。本研究以採用質性研究進行資料的蒐集與分析，透過目的性抽樣選取十七名就讀於國立中興大學之馬來西亞僑生進行半結構式訪談和焦點團體訪談。研究結果發現馬來西亞僑生初來臺時會遭遇飲食、交通、氣候、語言、學業和交友等方面的衝擊，但藉由心態上的轉變與社會的支持，不僅逐漸適應了臺灣的生活，並進一步對這片土地的人、事、物產生了認同。因此，本研究將馬來西亞僑生的跨文化適應歷程分為文化衝擊與糾紛期、文化調整與適應期和文化舒適與認同期三個階段進行探討。馬來西亞僑生在臺之休閒參與主要延續了他們在原生國的方式，參與類型包括靜態的大眾文化類和網絡遊戲類，以及動態的休閒運動類、社交娛樂類、團康活動類和觀光旅遊類，但也會由於文化、環境和金錢等因素，而被迫轉換、減少，甚至停止了某些休閒活動的參與，而大部分人在臺留學期間至少會接觸一種新休閒活動。休閒參與對馬來西亞僑生跨文化適應的影響包括紓解壓力與調適心情、拓展人際關係、維持健康與提升自信和本土探索與認同。馬來西亞僑生的休閒參與是其跨文化適應的一部分，兩者之間呈現不可分隔又互相影響的雙向關係，共同對馬來西亞僑生的跨文化適應歷程產生影響。

The purpose of this study is to understand cross-cultural adaptation and leisure participation of Malaysian Overseas Chinese Students (MOCS) who study in Taiwan. This study used qualitative research as research methods, seventeen MOCS who study at National Chung Hsing University were selected through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews and focus group interview were conducted to collect data. The result showed that when MOCS first came to Taiwan, they will encounter food, transportation, climate, language, academic and other aspects of impact, but through changes in mentality and social support, not only do they gradually adapt to life in Taiwan, but they will also further identify with this land. Therefore, this study divided MOCS cross-cultural adaptation process into three phases, culture shock and disputes phase, cultural adjustment and adaptation phase and culture comfort and identity phase. MOCS leisure participation in Taiwan mainly continued their native country way. Types of participation are static leisure and Dynamic leisure. Static Leisure includes mass culture category and online games category, whereas dynamic leisure includes recreational sports category, social entertainment category, students' organization category and sightseeing category. However, due to cultural differences, environmental and money and other factors, they forced to transform, reduce or even stop their participation on certain leisure activities. Most MOCS will explore at least one new leisure activity when they study in Taiwan. Leisure participation impact on MOCS cross-cultural adaptation includes relieving stress and adjusting mood, developing relationships, maintaining health and enhancing self-confidence, as well as local exploration and recognition. For MOCS, leisure participation is part of their cross-cultural adaptation process. Leisure participation and cross-cultural adaptation is showing an inseparable two-way relationship which has a mutual influence between each other, and influence MOCS cross-cultural adaptation process.
