Results and Conclusion

Answer 6

70% of participants had high acculturative stress

• bilingual language preference, sharing similar beliefs and values as family, and satisfaction with socioeconomic status contributed to lowering acculturative stress
• English only preference and negative treatment by others predictors of high acculturative stress

Acculturating to new culture while still being connected with original culture contributes to lowering acculturative stress

Question 7

- Allows for follow up questions, deeper understanding
- Reduces risk of participant misunderstanding question
BUT
- time consuming
- costly
- risk of interviewer effects

Population validity
- large sample
- diverse (Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, etc.)
