Psychological Adaptation of Adolescents with Immigrant Backgrounds.
Sam, David Lackland
Journal of Social Psychology, v140 n1 p5-25 Feb 2000
Examines three theoretical perspectives (family values, acculturation strategies, and social group identity) as predictors of the psychological well-being of adolescents from immigrant backgrounds. Reveals that the perspectives accounted for between 12% and 22% of variance of mental health, life satisfaction, and self-esteem, while social group identity showed the strongest predictive power.
