This study explored the relationship between multidimensional acculturation attitudes and depressive symptoms in 78 Korean American adults. Approximately 30% of Korean Americans reported scores higher than 16 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, indicating the presence of elevated depressive symptoms. In multiple regressions controlling for family income, integration was negatively related to depressive symptoms, whereas marginalization was positively linked to depressive symptoms. Findings can be used in developing an intervention program that targets increasing integration and decreasing marginalization and, therefore, decreasing depressive symptoms of Korean Americans.
本研究探讨了78名韩裔美国成年人的多维文化适应态度与抑郁症状之间的关系。约30%的韩裔美国人在流行病学研究中心抑郁量表上的得分高于16分，表明存在抑郁症状加重的情况。在控制家庭收入的多元回归分析中，整合与抑郁症状呈负相关，而边缘化与抑郁症状呈正相关。这些发现可用于制定一项干预计划，该计划旨在增强整合并减少边缘化，从而减轻韩裔美国人的抑郁症状。
