Theoretical Foundation
(a) Co-national friendships
(b)Host national friendships
(c) Multi-national friendships
(d)Friendship formation from a network perspective
(e)Strong ties vs. weak ties
(f)Social capital
Hypothesis:
H1. International students’ friendship networks will have a higher ratio of co-national friends.
H2. International students with proportionately more host national individuals iwill report higher levels of satisfaction and contentment and report feeling less homesick.

Section 3 Method 

(a) analysis of data
 - Anova: analyze the relation between homesickness and (satisfaction, contentment) 
-  Pearson’s  coefficient: analyze RQ1-RQ4

(b) Participation
- Standard deviation and proportion: female > male, east/southeast Asia> other regions

(c) Social connectedness scale
- five point scale(1: strong agree to 5: strong disagree)

(d) Homesickness and contentment scale
- two 10-item sub scale. sub scale use 5 point-type scale (very often to never)

(e) Satisfaction with life scale 
- 5-point likert type (from “agree life good” to disagree “life good” )

(f) Friendship network grid (appendix A)
- 10 reference points (denote the country affiliation for the people)

(g) Confounds 
- 8 point likert type (from 1= did not understand to 7= completely understand)
