Successful assimilation of refugees in their host country is an important prerequisite of psychological well-being. Refugees' satisfaction in the new country is one of key indicators of their assimilation. The satisfaction with their host country was assessed for 54 Kurdish refugees of mean age of 35.8 yr. (SD= 10.9) via an 8-item rating scale partly based on Cernovsky's Assimilation Scale. The 36 men and 18 women had resided in the host country for a mean of 4.5 yr. (SD=4.0). An overall score was calculated from ratings of satisfaction with personal safety, health, employment, food, financial security, social life, and entertainment. This overall score was unrelated to age, sex, and employment status. Those who emigrated at a younger age (r = -.28, p = .03) and those with lower education reported more satisfaction with their host country (r = -.28, p = .03) perhaps because they could more easily and rapidly re-establish social status comparable to what they had in their homeland than could older refugees from Kurdistan's higher educational strata.
难民在东道国的成功融入是心理健康的重要前提。难民对新国家的满意度是其融入情况的关键指标之一。通过一个部分基于切尔诺夫斯基同化量表的8项评分量表，对54名平均年龄为35.8岁（标准差=10.9）的库尔德难民对东道国的满意度进行了评估。36名男性和18名女性在东道国居住的平均时间为4.5年（标准差=4.0）。总体得分是根据对人身安全、健康、就业、食物、经济安全、社交生活和娱乐的满意度评分计算得出的。这个总体得分与年龄、性别和就业状况无关。那些较年轻时移民的人（r = -0.28，p = 0.03）以及受教育程度较低的人对东道国的满意度更高（r = -0.28，p = 0.03），这可能是因为与来自库尔德斯坦较高教育阶层的年长难民相比，他们能够更轻松、迅速地重新建立与在祖国时相当的社会地位。
