| Abstract | Twenty-three Vietnamese families in Little Rock and 12 in Grannis were interviewed to investigate and compare the variables associated with the acculturation of rural and urban refugees. Since the majority of the families in Grannis did not speak English, three Vietnamese interpreters assisted with the interviews. Information was obtained on the families' characteristics, housing accomodations, adjustment to the area and neighborhood, attitudes toward childbearing, membership in clubs and associations, employment, adjustment to American society, language, and religion. A comparison of the patterns of acculturation/assimilation was made by testing whether any significant differences were found in the acculturation/assimilation of urban and rural refugees, of young and old refugees, of male and female refugees, and of the better educated and those with less education. Findings included: the ability to speak English, the desire to become American citizens, and the ability to drive a car were among the factors assisting the acculturation/assimilation process of these refugees; contact with American friends and the desire to learn American ways of life were important factors which helped the Vietnamese in Little Rock adjust to living in America; adequate employment and income aided the acculturation/assimilation process; the lack of English speaking ability, the desire to return to Vietnam, and the lack of a good education and of adequate employment hindered the acculturation process.
