Abstract
The adaptation of immigrants to Israel and to Germany is compared. While in Germany immigrants were oriented towards the general society, in Israel they tended towards less social participation. Adolescent immigrants in Israel reported more stress than did their German peers, but no differences in the psychological stress were found among their parents.
