Abstract With particular regard to social identity, emotional control, and acculturative stress, this study examines the relationship between cultural adaptation and psychological well-being of African students studying in India. Given that international students face major sociocultural adaptation challenges, this study evaluates the amalgamation of these factors’ impacts on the health and adjustment of the students. The research is quantitative in nature. Data were gathered from 150 African students, aged 18 to 26, enrolled at Sharda University, applying purposive and stratified sampling. The students completed the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) along with the 12-item Psychological Well-Being Scale, Social and Personal Identities Scale, and Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students (ASSIS). The results hope to advance understanding of the psychological realities of African international students studying in India and help enrich the aims of culturally sensitive support frameworks in educational institutions. This research highlights the roles of identity, emotion regulation, and stress coping as crucial to the maintenance of psychological health during cross-cultural transitions.
