Abstract
The main objective of the study is to test the Multi-Dimensional Individual Difference Acculturation (MIDA) model with first generation immigrants in Canada. The model incorporates individual level factors that are formulated in the previous acculturation models and includes, Resilience, Self-perceived Cultural Competence, and perception of social support from the larger society and ethnic community, Family Allocentrism, Ethnic Identity, and Hassles as predictor variables of acculturation adaptation. Acculturation strategies were included as intermediate between the predictor and adaptation outcomes. The model was tested with 168 Russian and 114 Indian immigrants living in Metropolitan Toronto, Canada. The similarities and differences between the two groups with regard to psychosocial factors examined in the MIDA model are discussed.
