The purpose of this study was to examine the role of acculturation and gender role attitudes as related to acculturative stress in Iranian immigrant women in the United States. Specifically, it was hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship between type of acculturation and type and degree of acculturative stress. It was also hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship between gender role attitudes and acculturative stress. The sample consisted of 178 Iranian women residing in the Los Angeles area. The participants ranged in age from 14 to 75 usd(M=28).usd The participants were obtained from various cultural and religious organizations and through colleges and high schools. The data were primarily collected through snowball sampling. Participants filled out a questionnaire consisting of five sections. The first section included a demographic questionnaire. The second section was Mendoza's Cultural Life Style Inventory (1989). The third section was the Traditional-Egalitarian Sex role scale (Larsen & Long, 1988). The fourth section was the Kerendi-Kadkhoda Acculturative Stress Scale (K-KASS) designed for the purposes of this study. The fifth section was a set of questions assessing indicators of psychopathology as a validation measure for the K-KASS. As expected, the findings demonstrated that cultural shift (CS) was associated with the highest mean immersion-based acculturative stress (IBAS) score followed successively by cultural eclecticism (CE) and cultural resistance (CR). Also, as predicted, CR was associated with the highest mean resistance-based acculturative stress (RBAS) score. The results of the study revealed a significant positive correlation between traditional gender role attitudes and RBAS. No relationship was found between egalitarian gender role attitudes and IBAS.
