Two studies investigated relationships between traditional indicators of acculturation, cultural distance, acculturation strategies, and basic dimensions of personality as they pertain to psychological adjustment among Hispanic students. Although personality characteristics have been shown to be important determinants of psychological well-being, acculturation research has put less emphasis on the role of personality in the well-being of immigrants. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that basic dimensions of personality such as extraversion and neuroticism were strongly related to psychological adjustment. Acculturation strategies did not mediate the effect of personality variables, but cultural resistance made a small, independent contribution to the explanation of some aspects of negative psychological adjustment. The implications of the results were discussed.
两项研究调查了文化适应的传统指标、文化距离、文化适应策略以及人格基本维度之间的关系，这些关系与西班牙裔学生的心理调适相关。尽管人格特征已被证明是心理健康的重要决定因素，但文化适应研究较少强调人格在移民心理健康中的作用。层次回归分析表明，外向性和神经质等人格基本维度与心理调适密切相关。文化适应策略并未调节人格变量的影响，但文化抗拒对负面心理调适某些方面的解释有微小的独立贡献。文中讨论了研究结果的意义。
