“…First, as indicated previously, our measure of immigration experience may not have been sensitive enough to detect important within-group differences. Past studies have shown, however, that United States residency is significantly related to acculturation level~e.g., Duan & Vu, 2000!. The inclusion of an acculturation-related variable is important when studying substance abuse issues in immigrant populations, and future research can capitalize on the more sensitive acculturation measures now available @e.g., the Asian Values Scale~AVS!…”

“…However, they also have to contend with the natural process of adolescent mental and physical growth. As young people move through adolescence, they become increasingly involved in self-identity work, specifically the process of creating a sense of self in the context of the immediate and larger social world (Duan and Vu 2000). Chung et al (2000) in their studies of college students noted that the ''second wave'' Vietnamese refugees reported more psychological distress than the ''first wave,'' mainly because they became less Vietnamese American Adolescents 507 involved in the family environment and received less support from the environment where they tried to seek out experiences that corresponded to their interests.…”

This study explored the impact of parenting styles, as perceived by Vietnamese adolescents, on their mental health. Although the aim was to compare the styles between fathers and mothers, the data showed that most adolescents (83%) chose to focus on fathers in their responses when filling out the Parental Authority Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics showed that mothers tended to have a lower education level, lower income, and a lower acculturation score when compared to fathers. Also, the adolescents' responses were shown to reflect similar perceptions that most parents, both fathers and mothers, use a punishment-oriented authoritarian parenting style. Those adolescents who chose to focus on mothers in their responses (the mother group) tended to report a higher self-esteem and a lower depression score than those in the father group.

“…It has also been defined as a "process through which individuals adopt cultural behaviors that help them function in the dominant culture" (Duan & Vu, 2000). Berry (1992) described acculturation as a process that occurs on two levels: psychological and behavioral.…”

To investigate whether a relationship exists between acculturation and attitudes about suicide, 81 Ghanaian immigrants living in the U.S. who responded to a mail inquiry were selected to participate in the current study. This particular immigrant sample was chosen because although they represent a rapidly growing group in the U.S., they have been rarely studied. Respondents consisted of 42 women and 36 men (3 did not identify their sex), with a mean age of 29.5 yr. (SD = 10.6). Participants completed measures of acculturation and attitudes about suicide. Results indicated significant correlations between length of residency in the United States and negative suicide attitudes, and also between psychological acculturation and negative suicide attitudes. No significant relationship was found between behavioral acculturation and suicide attitudes. Furthermore, length of residency was a stronger predictor of suicide attitudes than other subjective measures of acculturation. Implications and suggestions for further research are discussed.
