Anxious arousal (AA) and anhedonic depression (AD) were the foci of the survey study (N = 107). After controlling for sociodemographic variables (English language proficiency, gender, and age), results from separate hierarchical multiple linear regression models indicated that acculturative stress was positively and significantly related to AA. Neither mindfulness nor self-compassion had any association with AA or moderation effects. While acculturative stress was not significantly associated with AD, mindfulness and self-compassion were inversely associated with AD. Furthermore, mindfulness was protective against AD when Chinese international students experienced high acculturative stress. The pilot workshop study (N = 41) sought to extend the survey study findings and explored the effectiveness of a one-hour mindfulness-based coping workshop on Chinese international students’ well-being (AA, AD, and worry). The results from a repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance, controlling for age and acculturative stress, indicated that there were no main effects of workshop type or time and no interaction effects.
