| Abstract: | A grounded theory was utilized to develop a model of stress and coping experienced by recent immigrants to the United States.
Maximum variation sampling was used to gather data from 20 leaders within immigrant and refugee communities in a Midwest U.S.
city. A theoretical model was developed by identifying causal conditions, contexts, intervening conditions, and consequences
related to experiences of stress and coping. Specific propositions in regard to the process of stress, coping, and adaptation
among recent immigrants were made. Implications for clinical services and research with this population are considered. |
