Linking acculturation stress, parenting stress and depression of Asian expatriates' wives in the USA with their distress disclosure intention: The moderating role of husband's support

The present circumstances of Asian expatriates' wives residing in the United States and the effects of acculturation stress, parenthood stress, and depression on the distress disclosure intention have been examined this study. The nature of this investigation is exploratory. 611 married women with children who reside in the United States provided data, which was then processed with a measurement model, structural analysis, mediating analysis, moderating analysis, and regression analysis. Structural analysis showed that acculturation stress influenced parenting stress and depression. In addition, it is viewed that there is the positive link between parenting stress, and depression; distress disclosure intention was caused by parenting stress and depression. Finally, it is observed from the regression analysis that supportive husband interactions had not moderated the link between depression and distress disclosure intention. The data gathered from Asian women who live overseas and have children makes the empirical proof possible. The developed conceptual framework can be used in other geographical areas.

Acculturative stress, collectivistic coping, and drinking in a predominantly Latino college sample.

The present study explored the association of acculturative stress with alcohol consumption and problems, and whether these associations varied by collectivistic coping style in a predominantly Latino college sample. Participants were 192 (58.9% female; Mage = 23.4 years, SD = 6.6; 89.6% Hispanic or Latino) undergraduate students from the University of Texas at El Paso that participated in a survey that assessed their acculturative stress, collectivistic coping styles, alcohol use, and associated problems. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine the potential moderating effect of collectivistic coping styles on the relationship between acculturative stress and drinking variables. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed a significant two-way interaction between acculturative stress and seeking social support in predicting monthly drinking frequency, heavy drinking frequency, peak number of drinks, and alcohol problems. They also revealed a significant two-way interaction between acculturative stress and forbearance in predicting heavy drinking frequency and peak number of drinks. The associations between acculturative stress and each of the outcomes were positive at low levels of collectivistic coping style. However, these relationships became increasingly negative as the collectivistic coping style increased. The present study extends the literature on collectivistic coping by exploring the protective effects of collectivistic coping styles against drinking among Latino college students. Based on current findings, it appears that among Latino students, seeking social support may serve as a protective factor against the effects of acculturative stress on alcohol use and problems and that forbearance may serve as a protective factor against the effects of acculturative stress on alcohol use.

Gender-Specific Patterns of Relations among Acculturative Stress, Family Processes, and Prosocial Behaviors in Latinx Youth

The present study was designed to examine the direct and indirect relations between acculturative stress and Latinx youth prosocial tendencies. In addition, we considered family conflict, parental support, and parental psychological control as explanatory mechanisms. Participants included 306 (53.8% female, Mage = 15.50, SD = .42; range = 14 to 18) Latinx adolescents and their parents (87.9% mothers). The majority of adolescents were born in the U.S. (n = 206, 68.0%; average time in U.S. = 10 years) and identified as a Mexican heritage group member (n = 248, 81.0%). Findings differed by youth gender and suggest that for boys, parental support (but not psychological control) serves as underlying mechanism in the effects of acculturative stress and family conflict on youth’s prosocial behaviors. Contrastingly, for girls, parental support (but not psychological control) serves as underlying mechanism in the negative effects of family conflict (but not acculturative stress) on youth’s prosocial behaviors. The findings are discussed in the context of the need for integrative theories that account for cultural, family and gender-related socialization mechanisms to better understand prosocial behaviors among Latinx youth.

다문화 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향: 자아탄력성과 학교적응의 직렬다중매개효과

본 연구는 다문화 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향과 이들 관계에서 자아탄력성과 학교적응의 직렬다중매개효과를 검증하여 다문화 청소년의 사회복지 실천적, 정책적 함의를 모색하는 것이 그 목적이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 한국청소년정책연구원의 「다문화청소년 패널조사 1기 데이터(MAPS 1)」의 4차년도 자료에서 중학교 1학년생 총 1,325명(남학생 648명, 여학생 677명)을 대상으로 구조방정식 모형을 활용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다문화 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스가 높을수록 삶의 만족도는 유의하게 감소하였다. 둘째, 자아탄력성은 문화적응 스트레스와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계를 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학교적응은 문화적응 스트레스와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계를 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 자아탄력성과 학교적응은 문화적응 스트레스와 삶의 만족도 간의 관계에서 직렬다중매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 다문화 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스에 대한 개입이 삶의 만족도 향상에 중요하다는 것을 보여줄 뿐만 아니라 스트레스에 직접 개입하지 못할 경우에는 자아탄력성과 학교적응 향상이 삶의 만족도 증진에 도움이 될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 다문화 청소년의 삶의 만족도 향상을 위한 사회복지의 실천적, 정책적 함의를 논의하였다.

Acculturative stress, everyday racism, and mental health among a community sample of South Asians in Texas.

South Asian Americans are part of the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States and make up a substantial portion of the U.S. immigrant population. Research on this group has often focused on acculturation, the adoption of different values and behaviors in a new sociocultural environment. While there is evidence to suggest that acculturation (and the stress associated with this process) has a negative effect on the health and well-being of Asian Americans, more recent research has emphasized the need to examine the role of broader social forces-including everyday racism-in impacting mental health. Drawing on the stress process model, this study uses an original survey instrument to investigate the relationships between acculturative stress, anti-Asian racism, and mental health among a community sample of 200 South Asians in Texas. Results from hierarchical multiple regression models indicate that both acculturative stress and everyday racism are strongly linked to higher levels of anxiety-related symptoms and more frequent depressive symptoms. Everyday racism, however, explained variance in these outcomes, well beyond the effect of acculturative stress and other sociodemographic factors. These results underscore the potential benefit and importance of including questions about racism in community health surveys that aim to study health disparities among Asian Americans and highlight the persistence of social issues that U.S. South Asians face.

Effect of Acculturative Stress on Multicultural Adolescents' Life Satisfaction: Sequential Multiple Mediating Effects of Bicultural Acceptance Attitude, Self-Esteem, and Social Withdrawal -Using the 2016 Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study

This study determined acculturative stress' effect on the life satisfaction of multicultural adolescents based on Roy's Adaptation Model and some earlier studies. Further, it examined the sequential multiple mediating effects of bicultural acceptance attitude, self-esteem, and social withdrawal on life satisfaction. Participants included 1,163 multicultural adolescents who participated in the sixth Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study. A hypothesis test was conducted using Hayes' Process Macro Model 81. Life satisfaction increased with a decline in acculturative stress. Each of bicultural acceptance attitude, self-esteem, and social withdrawal had a single mediating effect on the relationship between acculturative stress and life satisfaction in multicultural adolescents. The sequential multiple mediating effects of bicultural acceptance attitude and self-esteem were confirmed significant after their impact on the relationship between acculturative stress and life satisfaction was analyzed. Bicultural acceptance attitude and social withdrawal were found to have a significant sequential multiple mediating effect on the relationship, as well. This study's results demonstrate that acculturative stress reduction is critical to improving multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction. Bicultural acceptance attitude, self-esteem, and social withdrawal have a single mediating or sequential multiple mediating effect on the relationship between multicultural adolescents' acculturative stress and life satisfaction. The findings, which highlight mediating effects, indicate that by increasing bicultural acceptance attitude and self-esteem, and reducing social withdrawal, multicultural adolescents' life satisfaction can be improved.

The Effects of Acculturation Stress and Resilience on Mental Well-being of Multicultural Youth

본 연구는 다문화청소년의 일반적 특성, 문화적응스트레스, 레질리언스가 정신적 웰빙에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고자 하였다. 조사는 광주·전남 지역에 거주하는 9~20세의 다문화가정 청소년 216명을 대상으로 실행되었으며, 위계적 회귀분석 등을 활용되었다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다문화청소년의 문화적응스트레스(적응과정상의 스트레스, 차별스트레스)와 정신적 웰빙의 관계를 살펴본 결과, 적응과정상의 스트레스와 차별스트레스는 정신적 웰빙과 부적 상관관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 다문화청소년이 한국어수준을 높게 인식할수록, 레질리언스의 수준이 높을수록 정신적 웰빙의 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 정신적 웰빙에 관한 관련변수들의 상대적 영향력은 레질리언스가 가장 컸고 다음으로 한국어수준, 문화적응스트레스 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 다문화청소년의 정신적 웰빙을 지원할 수 있는 실천적·정책적 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.The purpose of this study was to examines the effects of general characteristics, cultural adaptation stress and resilience on mental well-being of multicultural youth. For this purpose, questionnaires were administered to 216 adolescents aged 9 to 20 years old from multicultural families living in Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeonnam Province. The results from the hierarchical analysis were as follows. First, mental well-being of multicultural youth was negatively correlated with stress in adjustment process and stress from discrimination. Second, the higher the level of the degree of Korean language and resilience among multicultural youth, which is a the higher factor of mental well-being, the better school adaptation. Third, the relative influence of the related variables on mental well-being of multicultural youth was the highest in resilience, followed by the degree of Korean language and acculturation stress. Based on the results, policy and practice implications were suggested.

The Relationships Between Hardiness and Life Satisfaction or Expectation of Korean Multicultural Children: Focused on Mediating Effect of Acculturative Stress Moderated by Resilience.

This study identified the relationship between hardiness and life satisfaction or expectation of multicultural Korean children, and examined the mediating models of acculturative stress moderated by resilience on hardiness and life satisfaction or life expectation. The participants in the study were 201 male and female children from Korean multicultural families. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 14 was used for the analysis of the moderated mediating effects. The results revealed that hardiness and resilience were positively correlated with life satisfaction and life expectation, whereas acculturative stress was negatively correlated with life satisfaction and life expectation of multicultural children. In a moderated mediating model for life satisfaction, there was no interaction effect of acculturative stress and resilience, but a conditionally indirect effect of acculturative stress was only significant in groups with low resilience. In a moderated mediating model for life expectation, there was a significant interaction effect of acculturative stress and resilience, and a conditionally indirect effect of acculturative stress was only significant in groups with low resilience and with very high resilience. These findings suggest that only when multicultural children have low resilience, the mediating effect of acculturative stress is significant in relations of hardiness and life satisfaction, as well as hardiness and life expectation. In particular, resilience moderates the influence of acculturative stress on life expectations.

Social Determinants of Health and Well-Being of Adolescents in Multicultural Families in South Korea: Social-Cultural and Community Influence.

Objectives: Adolescents in multicultural families (AMFs) are exposed to numerous stressors and face environmental vulnerability within the family, school, and community systems, which may affect their health and well-being. Concrete discussion on policies is lacking due to insufficient data on the levels of well-being of AMFs in South Korea. This study aimed to investigate social-cultural and community factors affecting their well-being.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 206 AMFs (aged 13–18 years) from 16 general schools and three multicultural schools across eight large cities. AMFs completed a self-administrative questionnaire assessing well-being, individual factors (acculturative stress, health behavior), social and community factors (social support, sense of community), and environmental factors (school type, economic status). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.Results: Social support and sense of community significantly and directly affected well-being. The economic status and type of school had an indirect effect on well-being, whereas the effect of acculturative stress was not significant. Factors significantly affecting adolescents' well-being were social support, sense of community, economic status, and type of school.Conclusion: Addressing well-being may be the strategy leading AMFs to grow into healthy adults. These results could help educators, health professionals, and policymakers to identify ways to enhance the well-being of AMFs.

Acculturative stress and cultural identity styles as predictors of psychosocial functioning in Hispanic Americans

We test acculturative stress, Hybrid (HIS) and Alternating (AIS) Identity Styles, and their interaction effects as predictors of psychosocial functioning over a 12-day period among Hispanic American university students. Participants completed measures of acculturative stress, HIS, AIS, and internalizing (anxiety and depression) and externalizing (social aggression and rule-breaking) symptoms on Day 1; on Day 12 they completed the symptom measures a second time. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the Day 1 effects of acculturative stress, cultural identity styles, and their interactions on Day 12 symptoms controlling for the Day 1 symptoms. We hypothesized that acculturative stress would predict more, and the HIS would predict fewer, symptoms and that the AIS would moderate the relationship between acculturative stress and symptoms over time. Results indicated that: (1) acculturative stress predicted an increase in internalizing symptoms; (2) the HIS predicted a decrease in internalizing and externalizing symptoms; and (3) the AIS attenuated the relationship between acculturative stress and externalizing symptoms. The results are discussed in relation to the distinctive features of internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and recommendations for future research are advanced.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Psychological Flexibility as a Mediator for the Relationship Between Acculturative Stress and Cardiovascular Health Behaviors Among Second-Generation Arab Americans.

Second-generation Arab Americans may be at risk for poor cardiovascular health behaviors, but these behaviors are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of acculturative stress and psychological flexibility on cardiovascular health behaviors among second-generation Arab Americans. In a cross-sectional study, survey data were collected in 2018 at local mosques, churches, and a university campus. Cardiovascular health behaviors were measured with a questionnaire based on the American Heart Association Life's Simple 7. Acculturative stress and psychological flexibility were assessed using reliable and valid measures. Participants (n = 325) with higher acculturative stress were significantly more likely to report intermediate overall cardiovascular health behaviors (p = .01) and poor to intermediate diet (p = .00). Psychological flexibility partially mediated poor/intermediate smoking (p = .02) and intermediate diet (p = .00) scores. Nurses may consider the role of acculturation when designing culturally sensitive interventions to promote cardiovascular health in second-generation populations.
