This study explored the patterns of attitudes and attributions associated with relatively high and low distress among a sample of (N = 104) immigrant women from India living in Montreal. Results showed the high distress group to be less satisfied with their roles in the home and in the job market, to be more in favor of modem sex roles, to want less to pass on traditional sex roles to their children, to attribute success and failure more to their own personal characteristics and less to destiny, and to perceive more racial discrimination in society. The findings underline the value of differentiating between aspects of immigration and incorporating social psychological variables in studies of possible links between immigration and distress. © 1990, Sage Publications.
