Abstract (EN): The aims of this study were to investigate the degree of psychological and sociocultural adaptation among adolescents with immigrant background in Portugal and the factors that may predict adaptation The study sample consisted of 755 immigrant adolescents from seven ethnocultural groups (Cape Verdeans, Angolans, Indians, Mozambicans, East Timorese, Sao Tomese, and Guineans) and 320 native Portuguese adolescents. Adolescents from immigrant families reported similar adaptation to that of their native Portuguese counterparts Predictive factors-sociodemographic and intercultural contact variables-were significantly linked to youths' adaptation.
