The impact of acculturation on the level of depression among Chinese American women. - 108 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Alliant International University, Fresno, 1999.

This study examined the relationship between the level of acculturation and the degree of depression with 111 Chinese American women. They came from different Chinese communities, including People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. Undoubtedly, they experienced a certain degree of cultural shock due to ethnocultural translocations. They defined and expressed their depression through vegetative or psychosomatic symptoms (e.g., loss of energy, appetite, libido). Each participant was administered the Suinn-Lew Asia Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and a demographic questionnaire. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the significant predictors in determining depressive symptomatology among these Chinese American women residing in the San Joaquin Valley and the South Bay Area in California. The results of this study showed no linear relationship between the degree of acculturation and the level of depression. Socioeconomic status was found to be the most significant predictor for depressive symptomatology. The next most significant predictor was the length of residency in the United States. The findings are consistent with prior research (Yu & Harburg, 1981), indicating that acculturation is not a reliable predictor of quality of life or mental health problems. Suggestions for future research are included.
