Material and Methods: On the basis of the study, the associations among the psychological adaptation, sociocultural adaptation and perceived discrimination variables were examined. 187 international students from 28 different countries and six different faculties of Celal Bayar University took part as participants. Psychological adaptation examined with life satisfaction scale and sociocultural adaptation examined with Sociocultural Adaptation Scale which was adapted to Turkish in this study. Results: The results of the study revealed that international students' psychological and sociocultural adaptation was not found to be related.
