A multinational sample (n = 96) of sojourners in London participated in this study which was a part replication of the work of Ward and Kennedy (1993). Their psychological adjustment, measured by mood and stress reaction, was predicted from various psychological and socio-cultural predictor variables. A number of both types of predictors were found to be correlated with the dependent variables. This finding contradicts previous research, advocating a clear separation of socio-cultural and psychological adjustment factors. The multinational sample was split into three culturally-similar groups (Latin/Southern European, n=31; Central/Northern European, n = 36; East Asian, n =19) for the investigtion of culture-specific adjustment predictors. It was found that culture-specific predictors were closely connected to psychological variables. The multinational sample did not show the usual `overseas' student friendship patterns, although a special role can be assigned to the conational friend. Results are discussed in terms of recent research in this area.
