다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The African asylum seekers population in Korea has been increasing. With the increment, however, studies have primarily excluded acculturation concerns of African asylum seekers in South Korea. The problem with this neglect is that it fails to expose the difficulties African asylum seekers face in Korea in terms of mental and behavioral health risks.
Acculturation is a psychological process that brings tension when a population of distinct cultures comes into contact. The acculturation experience causes stress and worries due to difficulty in language, financial problems, interacting with foreign friends, and balancing work and family responsibilities (Magro, 2009). The stress that emanates from the acculturation difficulties puts asylum seekers at a higher risk of mental problems, which might increase their risk of alcohol use disorder. The main aim of the research was to see the extent to which depression and generalized anxiety influenced the alcohol use disorder of asylum seekers affected by acculturation stress. Moreover, to examine if emotional intelligence might improve their alcohol use disorder.
The study consisted of 302 African asylum seekers, and the mean age was 32.9 years. The cross-sectional survey used the International Student Acculturation Scale (ASSIS), Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT); Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9); Generalized anxiety disorder scale (Gad-7), and Schutte Emotional intelligence scale to measure latent variables. The latent variable included Acculturation Stress, Alcohol Use Disorder, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Emotional Intelligence.
