This article focuses on the process of acculturation for first - generation soviet jewish refugee adolescents and their parents who have resettled in the united states. First, the extent of acculturation to the new and the old culture is assessed independently. Second, acculturation is assessed multidimensionally, including the constructs of language competence, behavioural acculturation and cultural identity. Third, the extent to which life stage differences at immigration afffect the acculturation process is assessed. Overall, the data suggest that acculturation appears to occur in a linear pattern over time for most dimensions of acculturation, with acculturation to the american culture increasing and acculturation tot he russian culture decreasing. However, russian language competence for the parents did not diminish with length of residence in the country. Furthermore, an unexpected acculturative gap was observed between parents and children with respect to russian identity, with adolescents being more identified with the russian culture than their parents.
