Acculturative stress refers to the stress experienced by individuals who are adjusting to a new culture or environment. Oladipo, who has moved from Nigeria to the United States, is likely to experience the most acculturative stress as he has to adjust to a completely new culture, language, and social norms. Joie, who has moved from New York to Boston, is still in the same country and is likely to experience less acculturative stress. Mary, who is switching jobs, may experience some stress associated with a change in environment or work responsibilities, but it is not acculturative stress. Min-Shek, who is leaving home for college, may experience homesickness or adjustment stress, but it is not acculturative stress as he is still in the same culture and social environment.
