Abstract
This study examined the influence of acculturation strategies (integration and marginalisation) and personality variables of big five trials on acculturative stress among a convenience sample of 76 first generation adults who immigrated to Mauritius after transnational marriages. Response to a structured questionnaire revealed that integration was the most adopted acculturation strategy. Neuroticism, openness to experience and agreeableness emerged as significant predictors of integration and marginalisation (except agreeableness) strategies and acculturative stress. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed neuroticism, openness to experience and marginalisation as significant predictors of acculturative stress. The results suggest that both personality traits and mode of acculturation account for significant variance in the experience of acculturative stress.
