Arab Youth in Canada: Acculturation, Enculturation, Social Support, and Life Satisfaction

Results from 98 Arab youth in Canada showed that having a positive Arab culture orientation was related to greater family life satisfaction with family social support as a mediator. A positive European Canadian orientation was related to greater school life satisfaction, but this relation was not mediated by friend social support. Implications for the processes of enculturation and acculturation are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.)
