Abstract
GARCIA-CID, Alba et al. Social Support, Resilience and Place of Origin in Immigrants’ Mental Health and Vital Satisfaction. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, suppl.5, pp.91-104. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-5.asrr.
We analyze the relationship between social support and resilience with vital satisfaction and mental health in immigrants, and if there are differences in these variables according to the immigrants’ place of origin (Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia). 1094 immigrant subjects who live in Spain have taken part. The stepwise regression results show that tenacity, social support from family and immigrant friends, and personal control are the best predictors of the vital satisfaction. Tenacity, social support from family and personal control are the best predictors of the mental health.
Keywords : immigrants; social support; resilience; life satisfaction; mental health.
