“…These studies covered the association between victimization, fear of crime, and acculturation (Grubb & Bouffard, 2014), Chinese immigrants’ experiences of the revised naturalization exam (Yep, Zhao, Wang, Pang, & Wang, 2014), and economic conditions among older Asian Americans (Nam, 2014). Two studies adopted a quantitative-correlational design (cross-sectional) with data analyses involving correlation, t-test, and regression (Grubb & Bouffard, 2014; Nam, 2014). The other study used a qualitative design (case study; Yep et al, 2014).…”
