Immigrants, and the children of immigrants, are exposed to unique stressors rooted in both (a) the need to balance their heritage culture with the destination culture and (b) the widespread framing of immigrants as real and/or existential threats to the destination society. Seeking to better conceptualize these unique cultural stressors, and to better understand the mechanisms and protective factors, several lines of research have converged, leading to the development of cultural stress theory (CST). This introduction provides an overview CST, starting with its theoretical roots, then proceeding to its key tenets. In addition, and serving as an overall framework for the articles included in this special issue, we outline key directions for future research on cultural stress, highlighting how the articles within this special issue serve to expand CST in important new ways and directions.

移民及其移民子女面临着独特的压力源，这些压力源源于 (a) 需要平衡其原籍文化和目的地文化，以及 (b) 将移民普遍视为对目的地社会的真实和/或生存威胁的观念。为了更好地理解这些独特的文化压力源，并更好地了解其机制和保护因素，几条研究线索汇聚在一起，形成了文化应激理论 (CST)。本引言概述了 CST，首先介绍其理论根源，然后介绍其主要原则。此外，作为本期特刊中包含的文章的总体框架，我们概述了文化应激研究的未来方向，强调了本期特刊中的文章如何以重要的新方式和方向扩展 CST。
