Adjustment and Psychosocial Problems of Iranian and Filipino Physicians in the U.S.

Hojat, Mohammadreza; Herman, Mary W.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v41 n1 p130-36 Jan 1985

Analyzed data from a questionnaire on perceived adjustment and psychosocial problems completed by 695 Iranians and 898 Filipinos. Reported adjustment problems (for both groups) were closely related to psychopathological measures, i.e., loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Participation in social activities with Americans was inversely related to perceived adjustment problems. (BH)
