Abstract

This study examines perceptions of multicultural threat in a highly multicultural environment to address two primary questions: (1) Who perceives multicultural threat? and (2) How does perceiving multicultural threat relate to health and well-being? These findings suggests that such perceptions relate to poorer health and well-being in a multicultural environment.
