Abstract
- In the literature on American migration to Australia, there is a debate concerning the ease and degree of post-migration social-psychological adjustment In this paper a model of migrant adjustment is derived from the literature; relationships among social psychological measures of adjustment (alienation, work orientations, amicability, isolation, and missing family and friends) and socio-demographic variables are analyzed using path analysis. Results tend to support a complex view of migrant adjustment based on differences in socio-demographic characteristics. Certain modifications to existing literature are recommended, and avenues for further research are suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
