Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine acculturation and the associated factors among Chinese immigrant married women in South Korea.
Methodology: Data collected from 220 participants through an online survey at four health family support centers in South Korea were analyzed in an acculturation model, which included family environment, ego-resilience, acculturative stress, stress-coping style, and acculturation.
Results: The fit indices of the modified model satisfied the recommended levels. Among the variables, ego-resilience (β = 0.34, p < .001) and acculturative stress (β = -0.65, p < .001) directly affected acculturation. Family environment (β = 0. 35, p = .001) indirectly influenced acculturation through acculturative stress and stress-coping style. The explanatory power of the variables was 80.7%.
Discussion: The results confirmed the usefulness of the acculturation model that provides a theoretical basis for improving acculturation in married immigrant women.
