General and acculturation-related daily hassles and psychological adjustment in first- and second-generation South Asian immigrants to Canada Export

@article{citeulike:3389642, abstract = {According to Lay and Nguyen (1998), in addition to the general daily hassles encountered by most people, immigrants often face chronic difficulties specific to the acculturation experience, including conflicts with family members, members of the ethnic ingroup, and members of ethnic outgroups. Moreover, it has been suggested that the children of immigrants born in Canada (i.e., second-generation immigrants) may experience different acculturative stressors from their parents (i.e., first-generation immigrants). This study examined general and acculturation-related daily hassles in 74 first- and second-generation South Asians in Canada. Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed their experience of different types of daily hassles (general, family, ingroup, and outgroup), acculturation attitudes, and level of psychological adjustment. Secondgeneration individuals reported significantly more ingroup hassles and marginally lower self-esteem than first-generation immigrants. For first-generation immigrants, more ingroup hassles predicted greater depression, and for second-generation individuals, increased ingroup hassles predicted lower self-esteem and more outgroup hassles predicted greater depression. The results emphasize the importance of considering the acculturation experience of second-generation individuals as being unique to that of first-generation immigrants.

Les individus de deuxi\`{e}me g\'{e}n\'{e}ration rapportent significativement plus d'emb\^{e}tements intragroupe et une estime de soi marginalement plus faible que les immigrants de premi\`{e}re g\'{e}n\'{e}ration.

Moreover, it has been suggested that the children of immigrants born in Canada (i.e., second-generation immigrants) may experience different acculturative stressors from their parents (i.e., first-generation immigrants). This study examined general and acculturation-related daily hassles in 74 first- and second-generation South Asians in Canada. Participants completed a questionnaire that assessed their experience of different types of daily hassles (general, family, ingroup, and outgroup), acculturation attitudes, and level of psychological adjustment. Secondgeneration individuals reported significantly more ingroup hassles and marginally lower self-esteem than first-generation immigrants. For first-generation immigrants, more ingroup hassles predicted greater depression, and for second-generation individuals, increased ingroup hassles predicted lower self-esteem and more outgroup hassles predicted greater depression.

Selon Lay et Nguyen (1998), en plus des embêtements de la vie quotidienne auxquelles tout le monde doit faire face, les immigrants sont souvent confrontés à des difficultés chroniques spécifiques à l'expérience d'acculturation, y compris des conflits avec des membres de la famille, le groupe ethnique d'appartenance et les autres groupes ethniques. De plus, les enfants d'immigrants nés au Canada (immigrants de deuxième génération) seraient confrontés à des stresseurs acculturatifs différents de ceux auxquels leurs parents (immigrants de première génération) sont confrontés. Cette étude examine les embêtements quotidiens généraux et liés à l'acculturation chez 74 immigrants du Canada de première et de deuxième génération provenant de l'Asie du sud-est. Les participants complètent un questionnaire qui évalue leur expérience de différents types d'embêtements quotidiens (général, familial, intragroupe, intergroupe), les attitudes d'acculturation et le niveau d'ajustement psychologique. Les individus de deuxième génération rapportent significativement plus d'embêtements intragroupe et une estime de soi marginalement plus faible que les immigrants de première génération. Chez les immigrants de première génération, des embêtements intragroupe plus élevés prédisent un plus faible estime de soi et des embêtements intergroupe plus élevés prédisent une dépression plus marquée. Les résultats montrent l'importance de considérer l'experience d'acculturation chez les individus de deuxième génération comme différente de celle des immigrants de premiére génération.
