Year: 2011
Type: dissertation
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examined the relationships between acculturative stress, social-emotional resiliency, ethnic identity, and academic outcomes. A total of 78 middle and high school students from two different schools in California participated in this study during the 2010-2011 school year. Students reported on their perceived levels of acculturative stress, social-emotional resiliency, and ethnic idenity. Academic data (reading fluency, GPA, and scores on state tests) were collected for all participants. A significant negative correlation was found between acculturative stress and social-emotional resiliency, suggesting that students with higher levels of acculturative stress tend to have lower levels of social-emotional resiliency. No other significant relationships were found between the variables being analyzed, however several limitations to pursuing research in this area were identified. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
