Abstract
This study aimed to find out the relationship between acculturation and personality strengths as a factor influencing the happiness of immigrants to the US. The subjects of the study were 190 immigrants living in the eastern part of the US. for data analysis, SPSS 23.0, and PROCESS Macro were used. As a result of the correlation analysis, there was a positive correlation between happiness, integration, and marginalization, and a negative correlation between segregation. The relationship between the independent variable and personality strengths according to cultural adaptation was examined. The relationship with assimilation, segregation, and integration was not significant, while the relationship with marginalization was statically significant. As a result of verifying the effect on happiness through personality strengths according to the type of acculturation, the indirect effect was positively significant in the model with marginalization set as an independent variable. It means that the higher the level of marginalization, the higher the level of happiness and awareness of the individual’s personality strengths.
