Abstract
This study examines the psychological well-being of 160 Vietnamese refugees in the US. Path analysis was performed by using version 6 of LISREL to assess the structural relationships between variables included in the analysis. The findings reveal that ethnic community supports, self-esteem, and income have significant direct effects on psychological well-being. In addition, education, length of residence, English speaking ability, and social adjustment have significant indirect effects on psychological well-being

The point of view is presented that this stems from an uncritical subscription to and often erroneous interpretation of “stress” theory, a failure to recognize that psychosocial processes are unlikely to be directly pathogenic or unidimensional, and the implications for research strategy and the delivery of health care are discussed.
