Exploring the Impact of Moderator Variables on Acculturative Stress Among Latino Immigrants

This study investigates the bivariate and unique associations of immigration-related stressors—such as English proficiency, traditionality, and fear of deportation—with acculturative stress in documented and undocumented Latino immigrants. The sample consists of 416 participants from Mexico, with differences analyzed by gender and legal status using various statistical methods including 2x2 ANOVA and Chi-Square tests. The findings highlight critical interactions among these variables that contribute to understanding the experiences of immigrants adjusting to a new culture.
