Psychological Well-being of Immigrants in Spain: The Immigrant Paradox

Lara L.

Abstract

This study examines the immigrant paradox hypothesis regarding life satisfaction. Using reports constituting an overall sample of 501 first-generation immigrant adolescents and 501 native adolescents living in Spain, it was found that immigrant adolescents were as satisfied with their lives as their native peers. This remained true regardless of factors such as immigrants' length of residence, age of arrival or mother tongue. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
