This study explored the repatriation experiences of 20 US TCKs at three American colleges or universities. Using constructivism influenced by Erikson's developmental stages and Kübler-Ross grief stages, researchers found key themes: struggling with cultural changes, attempts to recreate the third culture, feelings of anger and depression related to the TCK experience, and a longing to have a voice. The study recommended that colleges and universities identify TCKs and help create TCK networks to facilitate higher education transitions. Published in the Journal of College Student Development.
