Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Acculturative stress is the stress experienced by individuals when they are in the process of reconciling two or more cultures (i.e., their heritage culture and a new culture). Research suggests that stress is linked to individuals’ wellbeing. Moreover, wellbeing linked to acculturative stress may be explained by threat appraisal (i.e., how individuals perceive stress - as anxiety-provoking and unmanageable). The current study examines threat appraisal as a mediator of the relationship between acculturative stress and wellbeing amongst a community sample of Armenian Americans.
