Abstract

This thesis evaluates the cross cultural influence of Nazarene missionary children as they adjust to an American college environment. The four indicators used in the evaluation are peer acceptance, separation of family, discipline and dating customs.It was hypothesized that “Nazarene missionary children who have experience a bicultural or multicultural encounter are expected to have an easier adjustment in a college setting than Nazarene clergy children.” The data supported the hypothesis; explanations for the findings are offered, as well as further research.Honors CollegeBall State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
