This study examined the relationship of acculturative stress and coping strategies in a sample of 219 Kashmiri college students (52.10% male; 47.90% female; mean age = 23.30 years, SD = 1.70) who migrated to Bhopal for study purpose. Measures used were Social, Attitudinal, Familial and Environmental Scale and Ways of Coping Questionnaire. One way analysis of variance revealed significant difference between coping behavior of participants with three levels of acculturative stress in terms of problem-focused coping, wishful thinking and self-blame coping. Result of regression analysis showed that acculturative stress was positively related to different coping strategies. Implications for reducing the effect of acculturative stress among Kashmiri college students and future research directions are discussed.
