The thesis is a by-product of a larger study conducted by three psychiatrists and the present writer in 1961.The study seeks to determine some of the factors that help or hinder the immigrant or refugee in his social adjustment to the host-country. The scope is limited to the exploration of a few major questions, e.g., language ability, employment and economic situation, and social and cultural adjustment. The project is limited by the small number of subjects and by the selection of questions from the original larger schedule. It was found that young people have less difficulty in adjusting to the new environment than older immigrants, and that a substantial number of married women do not work outside the home in spite of low family income
