Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the level and predictive factors of perceived stress and life satisfaction of immigrants actually live in the Basque Country, and to analyse the influence of gender and cultur origen. The sample is composed of 405 women and men from Latin America and the Maghreb and 306 natives women and men. Results show moderate levels of stress and life satisfaction. Immigrants from the Maghreb show greater stress and less satisfaction than Latin American immigrants and natives. The acculturation stress hypothesis explains the stress and satisfaction levels of Maghrebian immigrants, and the health immigrant paradox was plausible in the case of Latin American immigrants. Finally, the predictors of stress and satisfaction was different in each group.
