The aim of the current study was to determine the impact of acculturation, ethnic identity, and religious affiliation on perceived discrimination for persons of Arab and Middle Eastern descent. Two aspects of acculturation (ethnic society immersion and dominant society immersion), religious affiliation, and ethnic identity were measured using a final sample of 177 individuals of Arab or Middle Eastern descent. Results indicated that Arab/Middle Eastern Americans who reported lower levels of dominant society immersion tended to report higher levels of discrimination. Furthermore, Muslims reported a higher level of discrimination than Christians but this finding was moderated by level of acculturation. Specifically, Muslims who reported a high level of dominant society immersion experienced the most discrimination, whereas Christians who reported a high level of dominant society immersion reported less discrimination. Study implications are discussed.

“…They also vary in how much they seek to preserve their native culture, an acculturation dimension that has been called "cultural maintenance" (Berry, 1990) and "ethnic group affiliation" (Stephenson, 2000). These dimensions of openness to the new and preservation of the old are independent, so that some individuals may be high on both or low on both (Berry, 1990(Berry, , 1997Henry, Biran, & Stiles, 2006;Kurman, Eshel, & Sbeit, 2005;Stephenson, 2000).…”

This article reports the relations of the well-being of college students whose parents immigrated to America from Arab countries with their perceptions of their parents'(a) acculturation behaviors (i.e., openness to the American culture and preservation of the Arab culture) and (b) control. Results indicate that the perceived acculturation behaviors interacted with perceived parental control to predict students' subjective well-being. An expected positive association between parental openness to American culture and students' well-being is attenuated among students with autonomy-granting (low-control) parents. Conversely, a positive association between parental preservation of the Arabic culture and well-being is stronger among students with autonomy-granting parents.
