In the context of accelerating globalization and rapid technological advancements in communication, cross-cultural international students face challenges in balancing traditional values with modern lifestyles. This study examined an integrated model elucidating the mechanism by which filial piety attitudes influence subjective well-being among Chinese international students through the quality of WeChat interactions. Grounded in acculturation stress theory and social compensation theory, we hypothesized that filial piety attitudes would indirectly enhance subjective well-being by improving the quality of WeChat interactions. Employing a multi-stage stratified sampling method, 500 Chinese international students were recruited from 6 universities in Malaysia. Participants completed a questionnaire comprising the Filial Piety Scale, an adapted WeChat Interaction Quality Scale, and Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale. Latent variable structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized mediation model. Bootstrap analysis (5000 resamples) revealed a significant mediating effect of WeChat interaction quality on the relationship between filial piety attitudes and subjective well-being. These findings illuminate the crucial role of digitalized filial practices in cross-cultural adaptation, offering new insights into the complex interplay among cultural values, communication technology, and psychological well-being in the era of globalization.
