ADJUSTMENT ISSUES OF SAUDI ARABIAN STUDENTS AND THEIR SPOUSES IN THE U.S Saleh Saeed Alshihri St. Mary's University, 2019 Dissertation Advisor: Carolyn Y. Tubbs, Ph.D. A significant proportion of Saudi Arabians seek further studies in western countries, including the United States. The benefits of an international education come with the challenges of relationship stress for Saudi students and their spouses that increase during their stay in the United States. The purpose of this study was to understand the adjustment issues of Saudi Arabian students and their spouses in the U.S. This study used a sample of 320 Saudi Arabian students and student spouses, 65 of which could be matched with their spouse, in the U.S. The couples were sampled from different areas in the United States in order to reduce research bias. This study used the Arabic-translated Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (A-RDAS) and the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (KMSS) to examine Saudi Arabian couples' relationship quality. Results indicated that factors such as the years of marriage, the number of children, level of education, and current household income have a significant impact on the adjustment issues they face in their new environment.
