This study investigated the effects of acculturation on the psychological well - being of immigrant adolescents. The respondents were 11 to 20 years old, originally from the former soviet union, turkey, somalia and vietnam, and now living in finland (N = 588). To gain an understanding of the complexity and specificity of the relationship between acculturation and psychological well - being, a large range of existing psychological well - being scales measuring acculturative stress, behavioural problems, self - esteem, life satisfaction, and sense of mastery were used as dependent variables. Most indices of psychological well - being were clearly and negatively related to perceived discrimination and some of them were also positively related to second - language proficiency. In addition, the adolescents' experiences of parental support and adherence to traditional family - related values promoted their psychological well - being. However, the impact of this adherence was found to depend on both the specific aspect of well - being measured and the specific family related values in question.
