Abstract
The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the moderating effects of cultural tourism experience on the relationships of married immigrant women's acculturation stress with depression and family resilience. The analysis of the data revealed the following five characteristics. First, social prejudices, culture shock, and hostility among sub-factors of acculturation stress had partially significant influences on depression. Second, social prejudices and culture shock among sub-factors of acculturation stress significantly influenced family resilience. Third, the interaction term between social prejudices and cultural tourism experience and the interaction term between communication and cultural tourism experience had significant explanatory power about depression. Fourth, the interaction term between communication and cultural tourism experience had significant explanatory power about family resilience. Fifth, the effects of culture shock among sub-factors of acculturation stress on family resilience showed significant differences according to the levels of cultural tourism experience. The results of this study will serve as theoretical grounds for the development and application of preventive and psychological therapeutic programs on married immigrant women's acculturation stress.
