Immigration Motivation, Determination, and Success of US Immigrants in Israel: A Mediation Model
Immigration entails many challenges for families, particularly for children. The study was designed to assess pre- and post-immigration measures that contribute to successful and adaptive immigration of families. Participants included 122 recent Jewish US immigrant families to Israel. Measures included predictor indices of immigration motivation, outcome measures of perceived immigration success, and post-immigration process factors including immigration determination and parental social integration. Immigration motivation driven by religious factors was found to be positively associated with immigration determination, perceived immigration success, and parental social integration. Furthermore, the relationship between pre-immigration religious motivation factors and immigration success was found to be mediated by immigration determination. Results highlight the process by which religious immigration motivation positively impacts immigration success for families. Findings have both research and applied implications in the identification of clear immigration difficulty risk factors and the development of guidelines for families, schools, and agencies working on maximizing immigration success.

Maternal and Paternal Parenting Styles in Adolescents: Associations with Self-Esteem, Depression and Life-Satisfaction
Our study examined variations in adolescent adjustment as a function of maternal and paternal parenting styles. Participants included 272 students in grades 9 and 11 from a public high school in a metropolitan area of the Northeastern US. Participants completed measures of maternal and paternal parenting styles and indices of psychological adjustment. Authoritative mothering was found to relate to higher self-esteem and life-satisfaction and to lower depression. Paternal parenting styles was also related to psychological adjustment, however, although the advantage of authoritative mothering over permissive mothering was evident for all outcomes assessed, for paternal styles the advantage was less defined and only evident for depression. Our study highlights the importance of examining process-oriented agents as part of the broader interest in well-being variations in adolescents.

Challenges and Psychological Adjustment of Religious American Adolescent Immigrants to Israel
In recent years a growing number of Americans have made the decision to immigrate to Israel. Immigration to Israel entails many challenges for a family. One segment of immigrants who are at particular risk for transition difficulties post-migration is adolescents. Considering the many biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional changes experienced by adolescents, including the identity formation process and its sensitivity to environmental changes, preliminary research and clinical evidence suggests that many adolescents respond to the immigration transition in negative ways. However, adolescent immigration in general is an understudied topic and is practically a non-existent subject of study in terms of the experience of American adolescents immigrating to Israel. In order to fill the existing gap in understanding how immigration to Israel impacts American adolescents, the current preliminary qualitative study investigated the immigration process and adjustment of recent US immigrant teens to Israel.

Religiosity in Emerging Adulthood: Familial Variables and Adjustment
The current study is an examination of the familial variables associated with the expression of intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity and the relationship between religiosity and adjustment in emerging adulthood. Three hundred and five emerging adults completed questionnaires regarding their religiosity, psychological adjustment, and several familial variables. Parental divorce, perceived parental marital satisfaction, and family support were found to relate to religiosity. Additionally, those classified as intrinsically and indiscriminately religious reported higher levels of self-esteem than the extrinsically religious. The current study highlights the importance of examining multiple contextual variables simultaneously in order to assess the true multidimensional aspect of religious expression in emerging adulthood.
