| 抽樣方法 | Stratified cluster sampling method |
| 調查方法 | Self-administrated questionnaire, Individual Interview |

| 樣本數量 | Self-administrated questionnaire: 380 Individual interview: 42 |
| 主要數字、結果撮要 | ~The higher scores at post-test on the five IES subscales suggested that after participating in the short-term study-in-China program, the students behaved more appropriately (t = -2.21, p = .03), felt more comfortable when conversing (t = -9.40, p < .01), showed more respect to their culturally different counterparts while maintaining both their own identity (t = -4.36, p < .01), and engaged more effectively in exchanges of ideas during the interaction (t = -7.31, p < .01). ~After the t-test analysis, for the strength of different identities, the participants’ identities as a Chinese citizen (t = -4.14, p < .01) and a member of the Chinese race (t = -2.17, p = .03) all became stronger after the program. ~The majority of the students (65.0%) reported that they had participated in other short-term study-in-China program before, 41.4% of the participants had attended short-term study overseas program in the past, while only 11.9% and 14.8% of the participants reported prior experience of long-term study-in-China and study overseas program, respectively. ~By hierarchical regression analysis, Students from families with a high education level tended to have less of an increase in their self-identification as a Hong Kong citizen after participating in the program, as compared to students from families with a low level of education. Parents’ education level was negatively associated with the students’ changes in their self-identification with a Hong Kong citizen (β = -.13, p < .05). ~By hierarchical regression analysis, the results showed that peer quality was positively associated with the students’ improvement in intercultural effectiveness (β = .17, 91 p < .05) and program quality was positively associated with the students’ improvement in intercultural communication awareness (β = .28, p < .01). |
| 有關建議 | ~Study-in-China program should be further promoted in higher education institutions with more active support from the government. ~The government may consider allocating more funding to support local students’ participation. ~Study-in-China program incorporate career-oriented components, such as information sessions about the job market in mainland China, visits to well-known companies and meetings with Chinese entrepreneurs, and short-term practicum experience, to increase students’ competitiveness in the job market. ~The HKSAR government should encourage and support academic research in relevant topics. |
