This book was released on 2013 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between acculturation and depression among Asian American immigrants in Los Angeles, California. A sample of 30 respondents was obtained from employees at a mental health agency. All respondents volunteered to participate in the study. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, which includes demographic questions, and surveys that measure acculturation and depression level. A quantitative design was used. Results indicated that there was no significant relationship between acculturation and depression level. The findings further indicated that there was no significant difference between acculturation and depression by gender. There was also no correlation between acculturation and depression and age, education, and income. Implications for future research and social work practice were addressed.

This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary text to holistically improve understanding of the health of South Asians residing in the United States by considering biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors of health. The vast literatures of diverse fields – psychology, medicine, public health, social work, and health policy – are integrated by leading scholars, scientists, and practitioners in these areas to explore the impact of South Asian cultural factors on health, health risk, and illness. Chapters incorporate available theoretical and empirical information on the status of chronic health conditions in South Asians in the United States, with consideration of future directions to improve understanding of the health of this group. Cultural and ethnic insights imperative for clinical/community/medical practitioners to provide effective and culturally-appropriate care and treatment from an interdisciplinary lens are provided.

Download or read book Counseling Asian Indian Immigrant Families written by Varughese Jacob and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insight into the unique challenges facing Indian and South Asian immigrants in the West—particularly in the United States. It explores the “baggage” they carry; their expectations versus the realities of negotiating a new cultural, social, religious, and economic milieu; nostalgia and idealization of the past; and the hybridity of existence. Within this context, the author discusses factors which often contribute to intergenerational family conflict among this population. Jacob asserts that this conflict is largely a product of differences in cultural values and identity, acculturation stress, and the experience of marginality. After analyzing and interpreting empirical data collected from two hundred families, he proposes the “Praxis-Reflection-Action” (PRA) Model: a five-stage therapeutic model and the first pastoral psychotherapeutic model developed for the Asian Indians living in the West.

Download or read book Acculturative Stress, Social Support, 12-month Major Depressive Episodes and Self-rated Mental Distress in Latino and Asian Older Immigrants written by Junmei Hu and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing number of aging Latino and Asian immigrants demands a clearer understanding of depression and distress among these groups. Using data from the National Latino and Asian American Study, 495 Latino and Asian immigrants over 60 years old were assessed for levels of acculturative stress and social support, occurrence of a major depressive episode within the last 12 months (MDE) and selfrated mental distress. Aging Asian immigrants were less likely to report 12-month MDE while marginally more likely to report distress compared to Latino immigrants. Although there were significant correlations between acculturative stress and social support, social support did not buffer the effect of acculturative stress on either the probability of reporting a 12-month MDE or higher distress. Furthermore, although predicted by previous research and theory, the associations of acculturative stress and social support with depression did not differ between Asians and Hispanics. Implications for future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between acculturation level and depression among Chinese older adults in the United States. The researcher hypothesized that Chinese older adults who were more acculturated, not female, more educated, and had more years of residency in the United Stated would be less depressed. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling from Evergreen Senior Center in Northridge, California. Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA) and Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9) were used to measure acculturation level and depression. Findings did not suggest an association between depression and acculturation level, but demographic variables were important correlates of depression and acculturation level. Implications are discussed from a cultural perspective that more culturally sensitive practices may facilitate acculturation and reduce depression among Chinese elderly population.

Download or read book Acculturative Stress and Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety Symptoms in Asian American Emerging Adults written by Anh-Thuy Le and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored relations among acculturative stress (i.e., perceived discrimination, parent-child communication difficulties, incongruent parent-child values, and a general measure of acculturative stress), depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, family conflict, ethnic identity, and social support in a sample of 207 Asian American emerging adults (ages 18-25). Regressions showed that acculturative stress was positively associated with depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms. Likewise, acculturative stress was positively related to family conflict, regardless of how the former was operationalized. Greater family conflict was also associated with greater depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms. Mediation models found that, for each predictor of acculturative stress, family conflict significantly mediated the path to both depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms. Thus, these were expanded into a series of moderated mediation models to determine whether these relations varied as a function of ethnic identity and social support. Ethnic identity affirmation moderated the relation between general acculturative stress and depressive symptoms, between general acculturative stress and anxiety symptoms, and between perceived discrimination and anxiety symptoms. Specifically, family conflict mediated these associations when participants reported moderate or high ethnic identity affirmation but not when they reported low levels. Limitations included: cross-sectional design, lack of parent-report on family conflict, use of an aggregated measure of social support, and generalizability concerns in terms of setting, nativity status, English fluency, and ethnic group. Nonetheless, results indicate that family dynamics are important when considering the impact of acculturative stress on mental health. Ethnic identity affirmation also moderated this relation. These findings have implications for intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this popular book adds important new research on how racial stereotyping is gendered and sexualized. New interviews show that Asian American men feel emasculated in America’s male hierarchy. Women recount their experiences of being exoticized, subtly and otherwise, as sexual objects. The new data reveal how race, gender, and sexuality intersect in the lives of Asian Americans. The text retains all the features of the renowned first edition, which offered the first in-depth exploration of how Asian Americans experience and cope with everyday racism. The book depicts the “double consciousness” of many Asian Americans—experiencing racism but feeling the pressures to conform to popular images of their group as America’s highly achieving “model minority.” FEATURES OF THE SECOND EDITION

This book was released on 2013 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most acculturation research has been focused on the direct relationship between acculturation and mental health (Yoon, Langrehr, & Ong, 2011; Salanta & Lauderdaleb, 2003; Koneru, Weisman de Mamania, Flynn, & Betancourt, 2007). However, less is known about the mechanisms for this relationship. Social-cultural resources such as friend and neighbor support may have a beneficial impact on mental health, and acculturative stress such as the level of family conflict and perceived racial discrimination would be expected to be risk factors (Kawachi & Berkman, 2001; Wolff & Agree, 2004; Gong et al., 2003; Kerr-Correa, Igami, Hiroce, & Tucchi, 2007). The present study investigated the mediating roles of acculturative stress and social-psychological resources in the relationship between acculturation and psychological distress among first generation Asian Americans. Data were from 1528 Asian Americans who participated in the National Latino and Asian Americans Study (NLAAS), a nationally representative study of the Asian immigrant population in the U.S. Using structural equation modeling with latent variables, direct and indirect influences on Asian immigrant psychological distress were examined. The findings indicate that higher acculturation was not directly associated with psychological distress for Asian immigrants, but there was an indirect pathway from higher acculturation to poorer mental health through acculturative stress. Asian immigrants with higher levels of acculturation experienced more acculturative stress, which contributed to more psychological distress symptoms. However, this finding was moderated by gender, holding only for women. On the other hand, while a higher level of acculturation was also associated with more perceived social resources, the expected protective effect of these resources was not present. The findings show the complex relationship between acculturation and psychological distress during the acculturative process of Asian immigrants.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study examined the relationship between acculturation, cultural values, and perceptions of mental health and mental health service use among Southeast Asian Indians living in the United States, using a quantitative descriptive research design. The sample recruited for this study consisted of 85 participants, many did not answer the demographic questions, but of those who did there were 24 females and 26 males. The findings from this study indicated a few statistically significant generational differences in mental health and cultural values. Individuals born in the United States felt less alone and did not hold on to cultural values as strongly as individuals who immigrated to the United States. Also significant results were found in comparing perceptions of mental health service use to income and acculturation. Other areas did not hold statistical significance. Implications for social work practice and areas for future research are also discussed.
