Abstract
The paper investigates the relationship between acculturation experience and accultura tive stress among a group of 76 Asian Indian immigrants living in mid-western United States using Berry et al. 's(1987) model. The most preferred acculturation attitude was found to be one of Integration. Acculturative stress had significant positive relationships with attitudes of Separation and Marginalisation but negative relation ship with Integration. Assimilation was found predictive of psychological stress, Separation of psychosomatic stress and Integration of overall stress. Results generally supported the postulated model.Keywords
