Acculturative Stress and Specific Coping Strategies among Immigrant and Later Generation College Students.

Mena, Francisco; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v9 n2 p207-25 Jun 1987

Acculturative stress and coping strategies were assessed in 214 multicultural college undergraduates who were divided into four generational status groups. Effects of self-esteem, locus of control, and loyalty to American culture were also studied. Students immigrating after age 12 experienced more stress than early immigrants and second- and third-generation groups. (JHZ)
