This book was released on 2017 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010), the Asian population in the United States grew the fastest compared to any other racial group between 2000 and 2010. With the rapid rise of the Asian population, it becomes concerning that suicide was the leading cause of death in Asians 15-19 years old (Heron, 2016). As the families settle in the United States, they may face obstacles in acculturating. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) dataset. The relationship between an individual's level of acculturation and his or her self-esteem and academic achievement was examined. The relationship between parent-child acculturation gap and individual self-esteem and academic achievement was also examined. The results indicate that individual level of acculturation is positively related to self-esteem and academic achievement. The findings also indicate that an increase in acculturation gap between individuals and their parents is negatively related to self-esteem and positively related to academic achievement.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American population is becoming more diversified with increases in the number of immigrants and refugees entering the country. These new Americans bring distinct cultural values, traditions, and worldviews. With this diversity, an important need has arisen to better understand the interplay of culture, physical, and mental health concerns that affect specific racial and ethnic populations. This increase in knowledge and awareness will aid in the development and provision of culturally-sensitive mental health services. The stress of immigration and the multifaceted sociocultural and psychological adaptations involved in adjusting to living in a new country with a Eurocentric dominant culture can affect the psychological well-being of immigrants (Abouguendia & Noels, 2001; Tummala-Narra, Deshpande, & Kaur, 2016). The existent scholarship demonstrates that immigrants may seek to migrate to the United States for better economical and educational opportunities, but also experience multifaceted challenges that can impact their relationships, psychological well-being, coping strategies, and overall health (Gibson, 2001; Farver, Bhadha, & Narang, 2002; Oppedal, Roysamb, & Sam, 2004). Previous research has also indicated that increased substance use is linked to decreased psychological well-being (Gong, Takeuchi, Agbayani-Siewert, & Tacata, 2003). The present study builds on previous scholarship that examines the acculturation experiences of Asian immigrants and the Asian American population. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine acculturation experiences, psychological well-being, and substance use behaviors in the Asian Indian population living in the United States. Differences between these three variables were assessed across generation status and length of residency. One hundred and twenty-two participants who identified as Asian Indian, between the ages of 18 to 60, and currently living in the United States participated in this study. Participants were recruited from Asian American and South Asian American email lists and Asian Indian community centers. The instruments used in this study included: demographic questionnaire, Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA; Suinn, Rickard-Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987), Scale for Psychological Well-Being (SPWB; Ryff, 1989), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT; Saunders, Aasland, Babor, de la Fuente & Grant, 1993), and Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST; Skinner, 1982). Primary analyses were conducted via linear regression analyses, multivariate tests of variance, and hierarchical regression analyses. The findings from the study indicated that increases in alcohol use is associated with increases in psychological well-being. The results also suggested that decreases in psychological well-being may be linked with increases in the level of acculturation of Asian Indian Americans. Interpretation of findings, study limitations, clinical implications, and future directions are further explored in the discussion section.

Download or read book Acculturation and Its Effects on Help-seeking Attitudes Among Asian Indians written by Sarita Mohan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lack of research in the mental health field and on help-seeking regarding the Asian Indian population. Asian Indians are the third largest Asian subgroup in the United States; thus, it is important to understand their culture and lifestyle. Collectively, they are more likely to consult family and close friends rather than seek help from mental health professionals. Asian Indians may not choose to discuss these problems because they feel it is unnecessary, or it could bring shame to the family. The purpose of this study was to look at the effects of acculturation on the help-seeking attitudes of Asian Indian parents and caregivers when considering seeking help for their children. Inclusion criteria included parents and caregivers of children ages 7-17, who are 18 years of age or older, of Asian Indian ancestry, have resided in the U.S. for at least one year, and who have been the primary caregiver for at least 6 months. Measures used examined culture, acculturation, help-seeking attitudes, and some basic demographic information. The survey was available online as well as on paper to be returned to the researcher. A total of 89 participants, the majority of whom were mothers and well-educated, completed the survey. Participants were recruited at community events, at a temple in Houston, and through family members and friends by emailing the online link. Analyses of the data indicated that acculturation does not impact openness to seek mental health services, level of mental health stigma, and intentions to seek mental health services. It was also shown that openness and stigma do not mediate the relationship between acculturation and the intention to seek mental health services. Finally, the top sources of help indicated by the Asian Indians in this study are intimate partners, mental health professionals, and doctors or general practitioners. There were participants who had taken their children to see a professional before, but opinions varied regarding its helpfulness. It is hoped that this study will provide valuable information to inform mental health professionals about an understudied population and to continue to emphasize the importance of understanding diversity and what that means for school psychology and the mental health field.

This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzed the relationship between acculturation and positive professional help seeking attitude among Asian-Americans. The Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans, Modified for Asian Americans (ARSMA), consists of four subfactors: Reading/Writing, Language, Social Interaction and Ethnic Identity. The attitude measure, the Attitude Toward Seeking Professional, Psychological Help Scale, consists of four factors: Stigma Tolerance, Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners, Recognition of Need and Openness. These two self report measures were administered to participants who identified themselves as Asian-American in the San Francisco Bay Area (N=104). The author hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between acculturation and positive help seeking attitude. An exploratory hypothesis was made that there will be an interaction between factors of the acculturation measure, ARSMA, and factors of the attitude measure, ATSPPHS. The results indicated that there is a negative relationship between the acculturation factor Reading/Writing and the attitude factor Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners. These findings suggest that, as Asian-Americans ability to read and write in English decreases, their confidence in mental health practitioners increases. As for the exploratory hypothesis, a hierarchical regression showed a significant interaction between ARSMA factors Language and Social Interaction and Reading/Writing and Social Interaction on the ATSPPHS Factor Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners. These findings suggest that participants who scored lower on language have lower confidence in mental health professional as their level of social interactions with individuals outside of their ethnic group increased. Also, participants who scored lower on Reading/Writing had lower confidence in mental health professionals as their level of social interaction with individuals outside of their ethnic group increased.

Download or read book The Influence of Perceived Social Support on the Relationship Between Acculturation and Subjective Well-being Among Asian Indians written by Monika Parikh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the mediating and moderating role of perceived social support (PSS) from family and friends on the relationship between four modes of acculturation and subjective well-being (SWB) among Asian Indians residing in the United States. Participants included 255 first-and second-generation Asian Indian individuals from cities with high concentrations of Asian Indians. Results indicated that the relationship between Assimilation and SWB was fully mediated by perceived social support, while perceived social support only partially mediated the impact of Marginalization on SWB. Also, there was a significant interaction between PSS-Friends and the Assimilation mode of acculturation for one of the three SWB variables (e.g., PA). Interpretation and limitations of the findings, applied implications, and future directions are discussed.
