The purpose of this study was to understand whether Iranian-raised and American-raised Iranian women experience different expectations of traditional gender roles, self-complexity, self aspect control, SES, and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. The sample was 102 Iranian-American women (54 American-raised and 48 Iranian-raised), ages 18-78 years, recruited through targeted and snowball sampling. Participants answered questions regarding demographics, completed the Traditional Egalitarian Sex Roles Scale (Larsen and Long, 1988), the Self-Complexity task (Linville,1985), the Self Concept measure (McConnell et al. 2005), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS, Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995), and a socioeconomic status ladder (Adler et al., 2000). The demographic questionnaire included a checklist of negative life events experienced in the last 6 months. All of the measures, including the informed consent, were translated and back translated from English to Farsi except for the DASS which was already available in Farsi. The measures were piloted with the first five participants, and all translations were found to be clear. Since age discrepancies were found to be large between the two cohorts, age was controlled for in all analyses. Iranian-raised and American-raised Iranian women did not differ significantly in regard to symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress. Also, Iranian-raised women and American-raised Iranian women did not differ in regard to traditional gender roles. Changes in socioeconomic status found from living in Iran to moving to the United States had a significant influence on Iranian-raised women's mental health symptoms. There were no significant differences between Iranian-raised women and American-raised women in regard to self-complexity and self aspect control. In addition, symptoms of depression were significantly associated with self-complexity. However, the country in which the women were raised and stress levels were not significantly associated with self-complexity. Lastly, it was found that traditional gender roles, self-complexity, and self aspect control were associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Implications of the current study for working with Iranian-American women and recommendations for future research include better examining generational differences and migration cohorts of Iranian-American women.
