Psychosocial Correlates of Alienation: Study of a Sample of Indochinese Refugees.
Nicassio, Perry M.
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v14 n3 p337-51 Sep 1983
A study of psychosocial adjustment among Indochinese refugees in the United States found that alienation was (1) negatively related to socioeconomic status, English proficiency, number of American friends, and self-perception; and (2) positively correlated with degree of perceived difference between refugees and Americans. Laotians and Vietnamese were found to be better adjusted than Cambodians or Hmong. (CMG)
