This study investigated Korean-American adolescents’ stress related to their acculturation experiences and mental health. A total of 260 Korean-American adolescents from immigrant families (ages 12–18 years) participated in the study. The U.S. born group had a higher level of acculturative stress than the Korea-born group (t D 2.222; df D 258; p < .05). Males reported a higher level of self-esteem than females (t D 2.112; df D 257; p < .05). Acculturative stress was positively correlated with depression (r D .299; p < .01) and negatively related to self-esteem (r D .292; p < .01). Self-esteem was negatively related to depression (r D .536; p < .01
