在澳大利亚布里斯班定居的台湾移民（N = 271）完成了中文和英文问卷。本研究采用多元回归分析和分层回归分析的方法，探讨了影响流动人口文化适应的相关因素和心理健康指标。结果表明，各种个人因素（年龄，英语语言能力和逗留时间）与文化适应和心理健康指标。文化适应与幸福感无关。社会支持与参与者的幸福指数相关。结果表明，虽然与类似的个人和环境因素，文化适应和心理健康发生分开。这项研究强调了某些个人资源和社会支持的重要性。
Taiwanese migrants who have settled in Brisbane, Australia (N = 271) completed a questionnaire battery available in both Mandarin and English. A series of multiple and hierarchical regression analyses were used to investigate the factors associated with these migrants' acculturation and indicators of psychological wellbeing. Results indicated that various personal factors (age, English language proficiency, and duration of stay) were associated with acculturation and indicators of psychological wellbeing. Acculturation was not associated with wellbeing. Social support was associated with the indicators of the participants' wellbeing. The outcome indicated that although associated with similar personal and environmental factors, acculturation and psychological wellbeing occurred separately. The study highlights the significance of certain personal resources and social support.
