The process of acculturation among Iranian immigrants living in the United States was explored; specifically, the relationships between acculturation and mental health, age, gender, level of education, and length of residence in the United States were examined. Acculturation was measured via R. H. Mendoza's (1989) Cultural Life Style Inventory, which includes 3 components: cultural resistance, cultural incorporation, and cultural shift. A significant but slight relationship was found between acculturation and mental health: As cultural resistance increased, scores signifying better mental health decreased; as cultural incorporation and cultural shift increased, scores signifying better mental health increased. Also, Iranian men were found to have higher levels of cultural shift, lower levels of cultural resistance, and higher scores signifying better mental health than Iranian women.
对居住在美国的伊朗移民的文化适应过程进行了探索；具体而言，研究了文化适应与心理健康、年龄、性别、教育水平以及在美国的居住时长之间的关系。文化适应通过R. H. 门多萨（1989年）的《文化生活方式量表》进行测量，该量表包括三个组成部分：文化抵制、文化融入和文化转变。研究发现文化适应与心理健康之间存在显著但微弱的关系：随着文化抵制的增加，表明心理健康状况较好的得分下降；随着文化融入和文化转变的增加，表明心理健康状况较好的得分上升。此外，研究发现伊朗男性比伊朗女性具有更高的文化转变水平、更低的文化抵制水平以及更高的表明心理健康状况较好的得分。
