Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among acculturation, ethnic identity, and social support and their relationship with the psychological well-being and resilience of Latino immigrants. Questionnaires were administered online and in person using snowball convenience sampling and 111 participants were included in the final analysis. The majority of the participants were female (68.8%) from Mexico (68.5%), with a high school education (52%) and their preferred language was Spanish (81.1%). The majority of the participants were married (62.2%) and the mean age of the participants was 44.68. The results indicated that only social support was positively associated with greater resilience, greater acculturation to American culture and greater psychological well-being. Ethnic identity and psychological well-being were not significantly correlated among Latino immigrants. Resilience was predicted by a model composed of acculturation, ethnic identity and social support although the variance accounted for by the model was low. Psychological well-being was also predicted by acculturation, ethnic identity and social support. However, within the model only acculturation and social support significantly predicted psychological well-being. Implications and future directions in this area of research among Latinos are presented.
