Abstract
Immigrant families who acculturate into host cultures often fare better. Using data from a longitudinal study of immigrants we examined how social adversity, family environment, school climate, and self-efficacy related to developmental indicators of acculturation and how acculturation predicted adjustment. Results showed that self-efficacy predicted higher immigrant acculturation.
