Abstract
This study examines the psychological well-being of 160 Vietnamese refugees in the US. Path analysis was performed by using version 6 of LISREL to assess the structural relationships between variables included in the analysis. The findings reveal that ethnic community supports, self-esteem, and income have significant direct effects on psychological well-being. In addition, education, length of residence, English speaking ability, and social adjustment have significant indirect effects on psychological well-beingKeywords: Americas; Asia; Behavior; Community Participation; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Educational Status; Ethnic Groups; Geographic Factors; Language; Migrants; Migration; North America; Northern America; Organization And Administration; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Psychological Factors; Refugees; Residence Characteristics; Social Adjustment; Social Behavior; Southeastern Asia; Time Factors; United States; Viet Nam
