Psychosocial Correlates of Alienation

Study of a Sample of Indochinese Refugees

Perry M. Nicassio

Vanderbilt University

The major purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship between several measures of psychosocial adjustment and social alienation in a sample of Indochinese refugees residing in the United States. Based on interviews with 460 Indochinese heads of households, the results indicated that alienation was negatively related to socioeconomic status, English proficiency, the number of American acquaintances and friends, and refugees' self-perception. Moreover, alienation was positively correlated with the degree of perceived difference between refugees and Americans. Laotian and Vietnamese refugees showed evidence of a more favorable adjustment than Hmong and Cambodian refugees on several measures.
