Two samples of recent immigrant families (with 364 and 150 responding members) were compared with a single sample of native-born Australian families (210 members) to ascertain similarities and differences in their patterns of subjective and social adaptation. For the most part, they were quite similar: There were positive intercorrelations among 17 measures of satisfaction with various foci (subjective adaptation) and somewhat lower positive intercorrelations among 9 measures of role performance (social adaptation). Both subjective and social adaptation were correlated with respondents' emotional well-being. Satisfaction with a focus was correlated, on average, with the importance attached to it and with success of role performance in it. Males tended to score higher than females on emotional well-being. Family satisfaction was correlated with family harmony and solidarity. Parents tended to be more satisfied with their families than their children were. Cultural skills were correlated with material well-being. There were two main differences between immigrants and natives: The level of cultural skills was more pertinent to the adaptation of immigrants than natives, and family satisfaction was less compatible with successful interpersonal relations in the community for immigrants than for natives
