“…Although the immigrant mothers participating in the current study have lived in Israel for about 14 years, it is likely that some of the Soviet-Russian norms regarding infant care have endured. As reported in a previous study, child rearing norms and values manifest even among the second generation of immigrants with Soviet-Russian background [32] . Our current results corroborate these ideas and suggest that keeping structured and set routines for both feeding and putting infants to bed enables immigrant mothers to optimize care for their infants.…”

Aim: To compare practices of Israeli native-born and soviet immigrant mothers in relation to the sleeping and feeding routines of their three, six and twelve month old infants.

Methods: Seventy mothers of infants up to the age of twenty-four months, half native born and half immigrant from the Former Soviet Union (FSU), reported sleep and feeding patterning for their infants at three, six and twelve months. Mothers were matched by socio-demographic characteristics of age, marital status and education. Infant’s age and gender were matched as well. Issues addressed included feeding method, adherence to feeding and bedtime schedules, age of infant when mother return to work outside the home.

Results: FSU mothers share a similar feeding and sleeping pattern for their six and twelve month old infants, while native born mothers keep diverse and flexible feeding routines.

Conclusions: We suggest that maternal practices reflect cultural norms. In the case of Soviet culture, a developmental-
educational approach emphasizes the parental role in modifying and adjusting child’s behavior, while Israeli culture encourages parental responsiveness to the individual child’s specific needs

“…For example, greater psychological distress and psychiatric morbidity have consistently been found among migrants from the former Soviet Union compared to Israel-born natives [5, 6]. These negative influences can persist for generations [7, 8]. Some studies have indicated that the influences of migration on mental health depends on the motivations of migration.…”

BackgroundEcological migrants has a special background compared with other types of migrant. However, the mental health status of ecological migrants who were expected to benefit from a massive “ecological migration project” initiated by the Chinese government is unknown. This study aims to explore the influence of environmental change on individuals’ mental health and to improve current understanding of the mechanisms that mental disorders occurred.MethodsThe data were extracted from a cross-sectional study. Anxiety disorders, mood disorders and substance use disorders were assessed using the Chinese version WHO-CIDI. The prevalence of mental disorders was stratified by migration status into ecological migrant, local resident and original resident groups. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to calculate the risk of prevalence among these three groups.ResultsAfter controlling for gender, ethnicity, age, marriage, and education, the migrants had lower risk of mental disorders than original residents [OR = 0.70 (95 % CI: 0.57–0.86)], p < 0.001), but had a higher risk of mental disorders than local residents [OR = 1.29 (95 % CI: 1.06–1.55)], p = 0.007).ConclusionThe ecological migration project may be beneficial to people’s mental health by improving their living environment and social economy.

“…This is not necessarily the case for ethnic minority or immigrant youth, especially if the latter were born in the country of residence, or have moved to this country early in life. In addition, international students tend to have higher-thanaverage academic skills, and possibly fewer psychological problems, relative to the (much) more diverse populations of ethnic or immigrant minority members (e.g., Slonim-Nevo & Shraga, 2000). Finally, international students are likely to receive greater financial, social, and psychological support in adapting to a host society, relative to ethnic minority or immigrant youth (Tartakovsky, 2012).…”

This study investigated linguistic, affective, parental, and educational contributions to bicultural identity, in two samples of younger (13‐ to 14‐year‐old; N = 95) and older (16‐ to 17‐year‐old; N = 67) bilingual adolescents, who were immigrants or belonged to ethnic minority communities in the Balkans. While bicultural identity level was not differentiated as a function of age group, there was an age‐related shift in its predictors. Bicultural identity level was significantly predicted by perceived educators' attitudes toward linguistic/cultural diversity in the younger adolescent group, but by personal affective states (motivation and attitudes) toward the mainstream language in the older adolescent group. Implications of the findings are discussed regarding educational and family practices that would facilitate biculturalism in minority adolescents.
