Research Summary

Research background

Since Taiwan opened its doors to mainland students to study in Taiwan in 2011, a large number of mainland students and exchange students have come to Taiwan to receive the baptism of multiculturalism.

Problem awareness

Due to a series of “Lennon Wall” conflicts between Hong Kong students and mainland students in Taiwan since September 2019. The author is curious about whether the Taiwanese government’s policy discrimination of “three restrictions and six no’s” and lack of health insurance, as well as the cultural discrimination of Taiwanese people on accents, social rules, etc., through living in Taiwan and being exposed to Taiwan’s society, culture, economy, and politics, have they increased their identification with the mainland? Or is it because of the greater knowledge and experience in Taiwan that the mainland students have a negative attitude towards the mainland? Will Lu Sheng hide himself due to the cultural shock in Taiwan, or will he continue to be willing to express his opinions?

Research purpose

In this context, the study selected mainland students as subjects. Due to the differences in social systems, will the behavior patterns of mainland students in Taiwan be different due to their in-depth contact with Taiwan? Will their behavior patterns and interactions with people be different? Will different conclusions be drawn due to different factors such as gender, age, place of residence, the exchange student’s original school, the location of the school in Taiwan, or whether it is national or private?

Research methods

This article adopted the online questionnaire survey method and finally obtained 127 valid samples. Use statistical analysis, descriptive analysis, and cross analysis methods.

Research findings

It is hoped that through this research survey, it will be found that mainland students have a negative evaluation of Taiwan on the political level, and a positive evaluation of the social division, friendliness and value of coming to Taiwan to study.
