The present study proposed and tested a conceptual model of acculturation/enculturation and subjective well-being (SWB) by including social connectedness in mainstream society, social connectedness in the ethnic community, perceived discrimination, and expected social status as mediators. Survey data from 273 Asian American college students in the midwest were analyzed by using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that the effect of acculturation on SWB was mediated by social connectedness in mainstream and ethnic communities and expected social status, whereas the effect of enculturation on SWB was mediated by social connectedness in the ethnic community and expected social status. Contrary to the authors' hypothesis, perceived discrimination did not mediate the relation of acculturation and SWB, but indirectly influenced SWB via a lowered sense of connectedness to mainstream society. Approximately 46% of the variance in SWB was accounted for by the variables included in this model. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.
本研究通过将主流社会中的社会联系、族群中的社会联系、感知歧视和预期社会地位纳入其中，提出并检验了一个文化适应/涵化与主观幸福感（SWB）的概念模型。采用结构方程模型对中西部地区 273 名亚裔美国大学生的调查数据进行了分析。结果表明，文化适应对 SWB 的影响通过主流社会和族群中的社会联系和预期社会地位来中介，而涵化对 SWB 的影响则通过族群中的社会联系和预期社会地位来中介。与作者的假设相反，感知歧视并没有中介文化适应与 SWB 的关系，而是通过降低与主流社会的联系感间接影响 SWB。该模型中包含的变量解释了 SWB 约 46%的方差。讨论了对理论、研究和实践的启示。
