Abstract:
|
Many ethnic groups, who migrated to the United States, experience psychological predictors such as depression, psychological distress, social and linguistic problems that hinders acculturation. The purpose of this study was to examine these stressors and its effects on Hmong Americans’ acculturation process. The sample represented an n = 50 out of 52 participants who volunteered to participate in the study. The findings tested the two hypotheses that Hmong men experience less acculturation difficulties than Hmong women because of cultural practices and Hmong Americans who came to the United States following the end of the Vietnam War have made very little progress towards acculturation. Cross-tabulation between selected independent and dependent variables were used to analyze data. In conclusion, the results show that there was no significance association between gender and acculturation difficulties. The results also show that Hmong Americans who came to the United States following the end of the Vietnam War have made some progress towards acculturation. |
