The marginalization process of refugees during resettlement has rarely been explored empirically due to the challenges in identifying and accessing the population. To understand how stress and coping throughout the migration and resettlement processes can result in marginalization in refugees resettled in the United States, this study conducted in-depth individual interviews with 16 homeless Hmong refugee families. The findings revealed how cumulated adversities eroded coping resources and how impeded coping capacity fuels social isolation and marginalization. In addition, an enclosed family support system tends to limit types of available help and social interactions and thus frustrates the use of diversified coping strategies that are critical to healthy acculturation. This study underscores the importance of expanded resettlement services that promote both formal and informal social supports and enhance balanced social integration of the refugee community.

In 1972, Bernard argued that marriage was good for men and bad for women. Subsequent research noted that wives, on average, reported lower marital satisfaction than husbands. Furthermore, when differences within couples existed on marital satisfaction, the wife was usually the less satisfied spouse; however, most previous studies of the gender/marital satisfaction relationship had not been based on nationally representative samples. A nationally representative sample from the 1988 Survey of Families and Households was used to assess the relationship of gender with marital satisfaction. Within-couple analyses indicated that wives were less satisfied with their marriages than husbands and that, when substantial within-couple differences occurred with respect to marital satisfaction, the wife was usually the less satisfied spouse. Results provide at least small support for feminist assertions about the relatively adverse nature of marriage for women in the United States.
