Adolescents who immigrate face particular adjustment challenges. This study investigated (a) levels of wellbeing and depression in migrant adolescents and their Australian native counterparts, (b) associations between adjustment and four psychosocial resources, and (c) moderating effects of country of birth on the relationships between these resources and adjustment indices. The sample (N = 327) included students born in Australia, English-speaking countries other than Australia, and non-English-speaking countries. Students born outside of Australia in English-speaking countries reported highest mean levels of wellbeing and ethnic identity. Ethnic identity did not have the expected protective effects on migrant adolescent adjustment. In contrast, a sense of school membership affected Australian-born adolescents more positively than it did their overseas-born peers. The results raise questions regarding sources of support and connectedness that might particularly help migrant adolescents.

社会心理资源在调整流动青少年中的作用

移民的青少年面临特别的调整挑战。这项研究调查了（a）移民青少年及其澳大利亚土著居民的幸福感和抑郁水平，（b）适应与四种社会心理资源之间的关联，以及（c）出生国对这些资源与适应指数之间关系的调节作用。样本（N = 327）包括在澳大利亚，澳大利亚以外的英语国家和非英语国家出生的学生。在英语国家中，在澳大利亚境外出生的学生报告的平均健康水平和种族认同最高。种族认同对移民青少年适应没有预期的保护作用。相反，学校会员感对在澳大利亚出生的青少年的影响比对在海外出生的青少年的影响更大。结果引起了有关支持和联系的来源的问题，这些来源可能特别有助于移民青少年。
