This dissertation examines segmented assimilation theory, the recent, highly influential theoretical statement on immigrant incorporation. I focus on the theory's claim that immigrants and their offspring experience multiple paths of assimilation. Using National Educational Longitudinal Study and Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study data, I examine how context of reception, adaptation obstacles, and protective factors-including family relationships and cultural attachments-are associated with paths of economic mobility and acculturation among children of immigrants. I operationalize these paths as the direction of change between two points for the following indicators: educational and occupational status, English use, non-English ability, and ethnic identity. I also take into account five key social structural factors that segmented assimilation theory and research overlook: (1) the intergenerational nature of assimilation, (2) life course stage, (3) where immigrants start out on their paths of assimilation, or their "starting points," (4) gender, and (5) immigrant generational status. Binomial and multinomial logistic regression analyses reveal that paths of assimilation and the factors associated with them differ according to starting point, gender, immigrant generational status, and, in the case of intragenerational assimilation, life course stage. These associations are enormously complicated and do not follow a coherent pattern. Nonetheless, a number of my findings contradict segmented assimilation's claims. For example, blacks from intermediate economic starting points have more positive mobility outcomes than whites. Additionally, elements traditionally associated with minority oppositional subcultures, such as negative views of race relations in the U.S. and experiences of discrimination, are related to positive economic mobility and classical acculturation paths for children of immigrants. These results indicate that exposure to native minorities may not have the detrimental effects that segmented assimilation alleges. Among the protective factors, while parent-youth relationships are consistently important for predicting economic and cultural assimilation, I find little evidence that cultural attachments promote greater economic success among immigrants' offspring. These results suggest that immigrants' cultural attributes may be less important for their success than the quality of their family relationships.
