Exploring The Impact Of Acculturative Stress And Perceived Stress On Academic Performance: A Review Of Empirical Studies

Abstract

Acculturative stress affects academic performance and stress, according to a thorough evaluation of empirical evidence. Adapting to a new culture causes acculturative stress. Acculturative stress influences academic performance and perceived stress. In varied cultural contexts, acculturative stress, academic accomplishment, and subjective stress are linked through intermediate and moderating variables. Acculturative stress hurts immigrant students' grades. Academic stress is emphasised by perceived stress. Acculturative stress may negatively impact academic achievement and stress. Coping methods and social support may help. The study calls for further research on acculturative stress domains that most effect academic achievement and perceived stress. Longitudinal studies are needed to study the effects of acculturative stress across time. Cultural context, age of migration, and host culture exposure may help explain acculturative stress. Cross-cultural research on acculturative stress, its causes, and therapies and support systems to lessen its negative impact on academic success and perceived stress is promising. This review explains the complicated link between acculturative stress, academic success, and subjective stress. This study impacts educators, counsellors, and policymakers. Acculturative stress should be managed to promote well-being and academic achievement.
