Objective:

The purpose of this study was to explore: 1) the relationship between acculturative stress and cognition; and 2) the relationship between Asian Indians’ acculturative stress and cognitive performance when mediated by generational status.

Participants and Methods:

Total participants for the study were 135 Indian American adults living in America. The final participant count used for analysis was 127 participants due to missing data. All participants were directed to agree or disagree with the consent on Qualtrics then completed the inventories with the researcher in a 30-minute setting.

Results:

Results for acculturative stress groups and CWIT inhibition analysis identified no statistically significant difference between the groups. The ANOVA analysis results were significant, indicating a groups difference between the acculturative stress levels and DS total scores (i.e. processing speed and working memory). Participants' language proficiency was not a factor in determining acculturative stress levels. The MANCOVA analysis results were not statistically significant for the relationship between acculturative stress and CWIT when influenced by generational status, indicating acculturative stress’s effects on CWIT performance is not influenced by generational status.

Conclusions:

Findings showed levels of acculturative stress experiences by Asian Indian Americans had no impact on their ability to perform tasks requiring set-shifting and inhibition/initiation however, there was a difference between scores amongst processing speed, working memory, and attention task between levels of acculturative stress.
