The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of perceived paternal and maternal acceptance on the bicultural orientations and psychological adjustment of ethnic-minority young adults in Bangladesh. The study was based on a sample of 412 young adults (mean age 22 years), consisting of 40% women and 60% men from 18 tribal subgroups in Bangladesh. Measures used were Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), Bicultural Attitude Scale (BAS) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ). Results showed that there are significant positive correlations between perceived parental (paternal and maternal) acceptance, heritage culture, and psychological adjustment of the respondents. Results further showed that perceived paternal acceptance has independent and stronger effect than perceived maternal acceptance on the bicultural orientations and psychological adjustment of the minority young adults in Bangladesh.

Few studies have provided an examination of the academic component of acculturation. This study sought to extend the work in this area by examining factors impacting academic adjustment of international students in the US and compare results to factors of psychological adjustment. Predictors of academic adjustment were investigated with a sample of 122 international students. Hierarchical regressions revealed length of stay in the U.S., English proficiency, and help-seeking predicted academic adjustment, whereas age and attachment to the university community predicted psychological adjustment. Psychological adjustment was associated with acculturation strategy and cultural distance. Results suggest the need for targeted support interventions to facilitate psychological and socio-cultural adjustment in each domain.

Abstract Due to rapid expected growth in the population of older adults with dementia, exploring the issues and experiences related to early stage dementia (ESD) is a fundamental step toward helping individuals adjust to their diagnosis and transition into treatment. The purpose of this paper is to review the extant literature regarding how older adults adjust to and cope with the onset of dementia through major situations and difficulties. A narrative approach was applied to review 120 articles focused on ESD that were published in the U.S. and other western countries between 1995 to 2020. There were four apparent themes in the literature, which align with key chronological experiences related to ESD: diagnosis of dementia; stigma related to dementia; the development of identity with ESD; and social and service-related experiences of older adults with ESD. Stigma related to dementia was a powerful risk factor that hindered psychological adjustment to ESD. Varied cultural perspectives on dementia and a lack of knowledge of dementia symptoms among diverse older adults and their families were also major risk factors. In the U.S., there was a lack of literature, especially around the development of identity with dementia and older adults’ perspectives on available services, Also, there were insufficient U.S.-based studies that explored the challenges of psychological adjustment among racial and ethnic minority groups. Future research could benefit from taking a life course perspective to assess ESD within the context of one’s life and examine challenges associated with ESD across all four themes to promote empowerment.
