The highs and lows of a cultural transition: a longitudinal analysis of sojourner stress and adaptation across 50 countries.

Coping strategies In the coping model, all but two of the coping strategies (approach and substance abuse) made an independently significantly contribution to the model, controlling for baseline stress, that is, avoidance, χ 2 = 74.54, p < .001, acceptance, χ 2 = 39.76, p < .001, close support, χ 2 = 26.18, p < .001, distant support, χ 2 = 50.30, p < .001, and self-blame χ 2 = 86.11, p < .001, although the approach strategy was marginally significant according to our criteria, χ 2 = 13.52, p = .009.
