Abstract

This study examines the associations among physical activity, cultural adaptation, environmental identity, and resilience on the well-being of international graduate students in the U.S. Using a mixed-method design; the qualitative results showed the essential role of physical activities in supporting physical health, enhancing psychological resilience, and fostering well-being. While our quantitative results showed moderate well-being, cultural adaptation, environmental identity, and nature-relatedness, our results revealed low resilience and severe depression among international graduate students.
