DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this project was to create a workshop for second-generation Iranian American young adults who have struggled with understanding and exploring their ethnic identity. Iranian immigration to the United States is a relatively recent event. These families have experienced the ongoing stress of acculturation, which has left an impact on second-generation individuals attempting to balance their identities between multiple cultures. Additional factors influencing a person's identity confusion include diminished psychological well-being, life-cycle stages, and relationships between the generations. This four- hour workshop will provide a structured environment designed to address the ways in which these factors impact the lives of young adults. This workshop will guide participants through understanding these factors, and putting them into the context of their own lives. Participants will conclude the workshop by being encouraged to use their own story to connect with others, linking their narrative to the concepts discussed throughout, and ultimately beginning a dialogue amongst Iranian-Americans.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe acculturation process and psychological aspects of cultural change and adaptation have become the center of diaspora and immigration scholarship over the past decades. The goal of this piece is to amplify the voices of female immigrants who have experienced both cultural and physical separation from their home country. Specifically, assessing the ways in which the acculturation process in a host society has impacted their psychological health and well-being. The primary focus of this study is on the two factors of gender and ethnic enclave, to answer the research questions: 1) How does gender play a role in encountering and adopting new socio-cultural values? 2) How does the existence of an established ethnic enclave and living among people with similar ethnic backgrounds in a host society affect the acculturation process and the psychological aspects of it? Data was collected through an in-depth interview method called collective biography, executed with seventeen Iranian women in Los Angeles, CA and Cleveland, OH. The research findings allow for a new way to approach the acculturation studies; precisely, an evaluation of the levels of importance of factors such as gender, existence of ethnic enclave, current political climate, religion, family support and marital status. The overall findings will be beneficial in expanding acculturation theory and highlighting the important role of gender and women's issues in studying immigrants' post-migration. Future policy-making institutions and organizations that study immigration will benefit from the knowledge of potential risks to the personal and social lives of their subjects after migration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe different dimensions of acculturation, language, personal relationships, self-efficacy, and self-esteem were examined in 65 Iranian immigrant adults (age range 18-30) residing in Los Angeles. The impact of age of arrival, length of residency, and gender were tested on all five scales. Pearson Correlations and the Independent Samples T-test were conducted to analyze the data. Results showed no significant relationship between age of arrival and self-esteem, no significant correlations between self-esteem and length of residency, and no major differences among the two gender groups. However, the results yielded significant relationship between age of arrival and language, and a significant relationship between age of arrival and personal relationships. Furthermore, a significant relationship between language and acculturation and a relationship between personal relationships and self-esteem was noticed. Implications regarding further research on Iranian-American immigrants were discussed.
