This study is a empirical study to investigate the mediating effect of self-efficacy and social support in the relationship between SNS use time and acculturation stress for Chinese students. A survey was conducted from April 1 to 12, 2022 on 239 Chinese students from universities across the country using Wenjuanxing questionnaires. Descriptive statistics analysis and Baron and Kenny hierarchical regression analysis were performed on the collected data using SPSS 26.0, and bootstrapping was performed to verify the mediating effect. As a result of the study, SNS use time had a significant effect on the self-efficacy and social support. The acculturation stress was significantly influenced by SNS use time, self-efficacy, and social support. SNS use time had a significant effect on acculturation stress, and self-efficacy and social support had a partial mediating effect in the relationship between SNS use time and acculturation stress. Therefore, based on the above research, SNS can be used to develop the projects for International students to enhance their cultural adaptative ability and thus alleviate the acculturation stress. This study can serve as the foundational and supplementary materials for the follow-up study of SNS and acculturation stress.
