How normative multiculturalism relates to immigrant well-being.

Objectives: In this study we examine the relationship between contextual factors, that is, perceived multicultural norms, and immigrant well-being. Specifically, we test a model whereby each of the three dimensions of normative multiculturalism, perceived Multicultural Ideology, Multicultural Policies and Practices, and Multicultural Contact, positively predicts immigrant well-being both directly and indirectly via belongingness.

Method: Korean immigrants in New Zealand ( = 306, 56% female) participated in the research.
