Abstract

This descriptive study was designed to examine the interrelationships of depression, stress, mastery, and social resources in four ethnocultural women's groups. The random sample (N = 212) was comprised of Chinese (n = 60), Vietnamese (n = 46), Portuguese (n = 56), and Latin American (n = 50) immigrant women. Using the CES-D, high depressive symptoms were reported by all groups. Collectively, the major correlates and predictors of depression were perceived stress and mastery. Group-specific analyses revealed different models for predicting depression in each ethnic group. The findings underscore the need for observation of the indicators of depression in immigrant women--regardless of their phase of resettlement--and a flexible, individualized approach to ethnic women's psychological health care.
