“…What the immigrant child in a relatively culturally homogeneous society, and possibly one that has prejudice to immigrants, may have when it comes to maintenance of well-being, is close parental support. Although the issue of prejudice and its role in precipitating emotional disorders among immigrant children was not examined in this study, the literature suggest tht it may be a very significant factor (Goldman & Taylor, 1966). In future studies, it may be useful to measure this factor and examine its role.…”

The study examined the relationship between migration and the incidence of emotional disorders among 568 young Third World immigrants in Norway. Participants were 10-17 years of age. Using a questionnaire, acculturative stress (i.e., change in health status as a result of acculturation) was found to exist among the children, although having to migrate or being born in Norway was not related to mental health status. A stressful acculturative experience (i.e., difficulties in initiating friendship with Norwegian peers) alone could account for only 1% of the self reported emotional disorders. Incidence of depressive tendencies, poor self image, and psychological and somatic symptoms were found to be related to close and supportive parents, marginality, integration, gender and the number of friends the child had. These accounted for between 12 and 15% of the explained variance. The paper theoretically discusses how these factors may be related to acculturative stress, and recommends them as starting points for a primary intervention program to reduce emotional disorders among these children.

The population of children and teenagers who are either immigrants themselves or children of immigrants has been rapidly increasing in recent years. Young immigrants have a significant impact on the social and cultural makeup of many American communities, and on the education system in patiicular. In light of this, this paper provides a review of studies that were conducted on the adaptation processes among this new "second generation youth." Studies are ciassitied into those that examined the issues of young immigrants' adaptation from the psychological/social-psychologicai and sociological perspectives. Subsequently, theoretical research on adolescent immigrants' adaptation is reviewed.

This article reviews the existing research on the prevalence of social and emotional adjustment problems among immigrant children, examines the findings on the kinds of adjustment problems exacerbated by migration or particular to immigrant school children and reviews and assesses effectiveness of intervention programs developed specifically to aid such children. Also considered is a theoretical framework which would facilitate conceptualizing the process of immigration among children, their particular needs, and how these might best be met by primary and secondary preventive mental health interventions.
