Abstract

This study examines the psychological and economic adaptation of Iraqi refugees, one of the increasing number of refugee groups resettling to this country in the 90s. Data were obtained from 105 Iraqi male refugees. The results revealed that Iraqi male refugees were struggling to resettle psychologically and economically in this country. The regression analyses confirmed that predictor variables (including social support, education level, and motivation for migration) significantly explained the variances in both the CES-D scale and income. In addition, this study found that the source of social support affecting economic adaptation was different from one affecting psychological adaptation. Implications for social work practice for Iraqi refugees were discussed at the end of the paper.
