Abstract

The present study investigated the indirect effects of acculturation and enculturation on mental health problems (i.e., depression and social anxiety) through social connectedness (i.e., family-, peer-, university-, and neighborhood-connectedness) among Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) immigrant emerging adults in Guam. Participants consisted of 235 (18–30 years old) AAPI immigrant emerging adult students. Online surveys were distributed that contained measures of acculturation and enculturation, family connectedness, peer connectedness, university connectedness, neighborhood connectedness, depression, and anxiety in the university classes and via social media platforms. The results of a path analysis revealed indirect effects of acculturation on depression and anxiety through peer and university connectedness. Limitations, future studies, and the cultural and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

期刊介绍： Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
