Abstract
This study examined whether immigrant emerging adults would be more influenced by stress and loneliness from social distancing than their non-immigrant peers, and the impact of biculturalism. Immigrants reported more psychological problems, but those high in harmony reported fewer, implying that harmonious bicultural identities can protect from isolation from COVID-19.
