Question
According to research cited by Portes and Rumbaut in "Immigrant America," which of the following is
TRUE?
"acculturation" is directly correlated with involvement in "risky behaviors" among immigrants and their children.
As opposed to earlier immigrants, very few new immigrants have some sort of stressor, which could lead to
mental health problems.
Surprisingly, among new immigrants, social class has been shown to be the least important factor in immigrant
mental health.
Among new immigrants, second-generation babies have been shown to be healthier than first-generation babies,
due to the higher socioeconomic status for second-generation immigrants.
