The present study examined the relationship among acculturative stress, social problem solving, and depressive symptoms among 107 Korean American immigrants. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that acculturative stress significantly predicted depressive symptoms controlling for different domains of acculturation. With regard to the role of social problem solving, among the five dimensions of social problem solving (i.e., positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem solving, impulsive/careless style, and avoidant style), negative problem orientation and impulsive/careless style significantly predicted depressive symptoms. Avoidant style significantly interacted with acculturative stress, indicating that avoidant style is associated with depressive symptoms when acculturative stress is high. The study underscores the impact of culture as well as severity of stress on the relationship among acculturative stress, coping, and depressive symptoms among Korean American immigrants.
本研究调查了107名韩裔美国移民的文化适应压力、社会问题解决能力与抑郁症状之间的关系。分层回归分析表明，在控制了文化适应的不同领域后，文化适应压力能显著预测抑郁症状。关于社会问题解决能力的作用，在社会问题解决的五个维度（即积极问题取向、消极问题取向、理性问题解决、冲动/粗心风格和回避风格）中，消极问题取向和冲动/粗心风格能显著预测抑郁症状。回避风格与文化适应压力存在显著交互作用，表明当文化适应压力较高时，回避风格与抑郁症状相关。该研究强调了文化以及压力严重程度对韩裔美国移民的文化适应压力、应对方式和抑郁症状之间关系的影响。
