Summary

This book examines integrative knowledge of multiple fields of content in the domain of immigration and its implications for the individual and his family. The outline of this book reflects the process under discussion: it is based on the immigrants' sample used in the doctoral thesis of Gila and represents the psychological responses of immigrants to the experience of immigration and its relation to different stress factors. The main work refers to relative evaluations that by themselves constitute a stress factor affecting psychological outcomes.
