The study aimed to determine both the association between perceived racial discrimination and acculturative stress, and the role of social support serves in the association of discrimination with acculturative stress using data on 3,268 immigrants from the National Latino and Asian Study. Perceived racial discrimination was measured by nine items asking how often the respondent experienced discrimination. Acculturative Stress was defined by nine items designed to measure the stress felt as a result of adapting one's own culture with a host culture. Buffering effects were determined by the statistical interaction within the multiple linear regression models while controlling for the demographic variables. While Latin American immigrants were less likely to perceive discrimination than Asian American immigrants did (p=0.0309), they had higher acculturative stress (p=0.0005) and higher levels of social network (p&lt;0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in family cohesion between races/ethnicities. In both groups, acculturative stress was positively related to discrimination and conversely, negatively associated with a social network. Higher levels of social network were significantly related to less acculturative stress in both groups. Our study also found that neither social network nor family cohesion served a role to buffer the effect of the relationship between discrimination and acculturative stress among Asian American immigrants. However, family cohesion alone buffered the relationship between discrimination and acculturative stress among Latin American immigrants (p=0.0184). Since we found that family cohesion served as a buffering factor in reducing the acculturative stress that is associated with discrimination among Latin immigrants, future social programs designed to enhance social support may reduce acculturative stress among Latin immigrants experiencing high levels of discrimination.
