Previous studies have shown correlations between adult attachment, stress-coping, and resilience, but little is known about how attachment and stress-coping affect resilience, particularly among first-generation immigrants. This study explored relationships among adult attachment, stress-coping, and resilience for first-generation immigrants.
A quantitative cross-sectional design was used to assess associations between adult attachment and stress-coping with resilience among first-generation immigrants. Thirty-five participants answered an online Qualtrics survey. A simple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the results.
The results indicated statistically significant correlations between avoidance scores and annual household income but not between resilience and education, resilience and income, and stress-coping scores and education and income. Positive reinterpretation growth was positively correlated with resilience, while denial and behavioral disengagement were negatively correlated. Adult attachment and number of years in the United States were not significantly statistically related to resilience.
The findings indicate high income may be associated with attachment avoidance, and increases in positive coping strategies and decreases in negative coping strategies are associated with resilience among first-generation immigrants. Understanding influences on first-generation immigrants to engage in stress-coping skills may inform the development and implementation of occupational therapy, including programs and interventions for successful client-centered outcomes.
先前的研究表明成人依恋、压力应对和心理韧性之间存在关联，但对于依恋和压力应对如何影响心理韧性，尤其是在第一代移民中，人们了解甚少。本研究探讨了第一代移民的成人依恋、压力应对和心理韧性之间的关系。
采用定量横断面设计来评估第一代移民中成人依恋和压力应对与心理韧性之间的关联。35名参与者回答了在线Qualtrics调查问卷。进行了简单线性回归分析以分析结果。
结果表明回避分数与家庭年收入之间存在统计学上的显著相关性，但心理韧性与教育程度、心理韧性与收入、压力应对分数与教育程度和收入之间不存在相关性。积极重新诠释成长与心理韧性呈正相关，而否认和行为脱离呈负相关。成人依恋和在美国的居住年限与心理韧性在统计学上无显著关联。
研究结果表明高收入可能与依恋回避有关，积极应对策略的增加和消极应对策略的减少与第一代移民的心理韧性有关。了解影响第一代移民采用压力应对技能的因素可能为职业治疗的发展和实施提供参考，包括以客户为中心的成功项目和干预措施。
