Linking acculturation stress, parenting stress and depression of Asian expatriates' wives in the USA with their distress disclosure intention: The moderating role of husband's support

The present circumstances of Asian expatriates' wives residing in the United States and the effects of acculturation stress, parenthood stress, and depression on the distress disclosure intention have been examined this study. The nature of this investigation is exploratory. 611 married women with children who reside in the United States provided data, which was then processed with a measurement model, structural analysis, mediating analysis, moderating analysis, and regression analysis. Structural analysis showed that acculturation stress influenced parenting stress and depression. In addition, it is viewed that there is the positive link between parenting stress, and depression; distress disclosure intention was caused by parenting stress and depression. Finally, it is observed from the regression analysis that supportive husband interactions had not moderated the link between depression and distress disclosure intention. The data gathered from Asian women who live overseas and have children makes the empirical proof possible. The developed conceptual framework can be used in other geographical areas.
