Abstract
The present study tested the effects of four predictors (education, years in the US, level of involvement with the American culture, and level of involvement with the Vietnamese culture) in predicting Vietnamese-Americans’ acculturation strategies which, in turn, predicted the Vietnamese-Americans’ self-esteem. Berry's Acculturation Model was used as the theoretical tool to identify the Vietnamese-Americans’ predominant acculturation strategy. One hundred thirty-eight participants from the Washington DC metropolitan area and the Midwest US completed the Acculturation Questionnaire. Path analyses supported the strategies of integration, marginalization and separation acting as mediators between the four predictors and the dependent variable of self-esteem.
