Stress and Cultural Integration
The Immigrant Experience
Stress can affect cultural assimilation and immigrant integration by influencing adaptation processes, shaping acculturation strategies, and impacting cultural identity. In the U.S., immigrants may experience stress-related challenges in adjusting to a new cultural environment.
To support cultural integration, practice stress management techniques such as language learning, cultural exchange programs, and accessing immigrant support services. Addressing stress enhances successful integration and fosters a sense of belonging in diverse communities.
