Acculturation's Influence on the Relationships, Identity, and Well-Being in Immigrant Adolescents
Abstract
Immigrant adolescents entering the United States for the first time experience much stress. To alleviate the effects of acculturative stress, immigrant adolescents adopted one of four acculturative strategies: integration, assimilation, separation, or marginalization. The strategy they adopt influences their social relationships with others, their identity, and their well-being. The authors used a qualitative single-case study. The four participants included three males and one female attending a local middle school. Data collection consisted of two semi-structured interviews and two observations of each participant in their classes. The data analysis found seven themes: entering a new country; adjusting to the language barrier and learning a new language; maintaining family relationships; school relationships influenced acculturation; the overall acculturative experience influenced a sense of well-being and identity; students who integrated or assimilated experienced better acculturation; and students who marginalized or separated experienced lower-than-expected acculturation.
