Abstract
An investigation into the factors affecting the adaptation of spouses of Taiwan expatriates allowed for their modes of adaptation to be classified into adjustment, reaction and withdrawal. Albeit a sample of 15 spouses were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire, the research findings indicate that if an expatriates spouse is characterized as having high cultural flexibility, high socialorientation, a high degree of willingness to communicate, a high conflict resolution orientation, low ethnocentricity and a high orientation towards knowledge, the overseas adaptation tends to be of the adjustment mode. Research propositions based on case findings and relevant literature are derived here for future more indepth study.
