The aim of this study was to examine the moderators of (a) general or cross-cultural advisory working alliances and (b) perceived English proficiency on the association between acculturative stress and psychological distress. A total of 143 East Asian international students completed an online survey. Results from a hierarchical regression indicated significant three-way interactions of (a) General Advisory Working Alliances × Perceived English Proficiency × Acculturative Stress on Psychological Distress and (b) Cross-Cultural Advisory Working Alliances × Perceived English Proficiency × Acculturative Stress on Psychological Distress. Specifically, the present results indicated that acculturative stress was significantly associated with psychological distress only when students perceived lower English proficiency and had a stronger general or cross-cultural advisory working alliance. However, acculturative stress was not significantly related to psychological distress when these students perceived lower English proficiency and had a weaker advisory working alliance (i.e., general or cross-cultural). In addition, acculturative stress was also not significantly related to psychological distress when these students perceived higher English proficiency and had a stronger or weaker advisory working alliance (i.e., general or cross-cultural).
本研究旨在考察（a）一般或跨文化咨询工作联盟和（b）对英语熟练程度的感知对文化适应压力与心理困扰之间关系的调节作用。共有 143 名东亚国际学生完成了在线调查。分层回归的结果表明，（a）一般咨询工作联盟×感知英语熟练程度×文化适应压力与心理困扰和（b）跨文化咨询工作联盟×感知英语熟练程度×文化适应压力与心理困扰之间存在显著的三向交互作用。具体来说，本研究结果表明，只有当学生感知到较低的英语水平并具有较强的一般或跨文化咨询工作联盟时，文化适应压力才与心理困扰显著相关。然而，当这些学生感知到较低的英语水平并且具有较弱的咨询工作联盟（即一般或跨文化）时，文化适应压力与心理困扰没有显著的关系。此外，当这些学生感知到较高的英语水平并且具有较强或较弱的咨询工作联盟（即一般或跨文化）时，文化适应压力与心理困扰也没有显著的关系。
