For a comparative study of the mental state and adaptation in the country of residence of students from China and Turkey, a battery of tests was carried out. Diverse methods were used, and in particular: a method for diagnosing an operational assessment of well-being, activity and mood (WAN); a self-assessment of mental states; and a clinical questionnaire for the identification and evaluation of neurotic states. Therefore, the psycho-emotional state of an adult was identified at the time of the examination, the levels of such mental states were determined, as anxiety, frustration, aggressiveness, and rigidity. Likewise, a qualitative analysis of neurotic manifestations was carried out, which makes it possible to identify the main syndromes of neurotic states. A comparative analysis of the results of the study, depending on the territorial position of the homeland of foreign students, tested that subjective well-being - changes in mood, activity and well-being - are culturally specific. Also, the statistical analysis of the results of the study found that foreign students in the process of intercultural adaptation in new socio-cultural conditions are more dependent on the social environment, and also show more pronounced psycho-emotional symptoms.Downloads
