American Society

In the spring of 1975, with the conclusion of the war in Southeast Asia, 130,000 Indochinese refugees were granted emergency entrance visas to the United States. Their incorporation into American society was handled through a precedent-setting national program, involving temporary detention in U.S. military camps followed by permanent resettlement through the voluntary sponsorship of private citizens. Release from detention was contingent on being "sponsored-out," that is, obtaining an American sponsor.

This study examines gender differences in satisfaction with the host society (SWHS) in terms of satisfaction with housing, neighborhood and life. A sample of 1,384 respondents aged 17 to 73 was selected from the 1982 national survey of economic self-sufficiency of Indochinese refugees. Regression analysis revealed that for men: 1) satisfaction with housing was influenced by age upon arrival in the United States and financial problems; 2) satisfaction with neighborhood was influenced by age upon arrival in the United States, lack of health care, financial problems and ethnicity; and 3) satisfaction with life was influenced by age upon arrival in the United States, employment, lack of healthcare, financial problems, and English ability. For women, the regression analysis revealed slightly different results: 1) satisfaction with housing was influenced by urban background in country of origin and length of residence in the United States; 2) satisfaction with neighborhood was influenced by financial problems, education in country of origin, and ethnicity; and 3) satisfaction with life had no statistical significant relationship with selected independent variables. Gender and age had significant interaction effect on satisfaction with housing, neighborhood and life. Gender and education had significant interaction effect on satisfaction with neighborhood. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
