Abstract/Summary
The present study aims of examine the influence of polyculturalism and multicultural personality as moderators between acculturative stress and psychological distress. The Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students (ASSIS), Multicultural Personality Questionnaire-Short Form (MPQ-SF), Polyculturalism and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were administered to Filipino international students (n=149) and international students studying in the Philippines (n=80). The data of the study failed to comply with the assumptions for a moderation analysis, thus, this step was not conducted further but the main effects of the variables were still examined through a regression analysis. The results show that the flexibility and emotional stability dimensions of multicultural personality are associated to psychological distress.
