Fostering emotional well-being is essential for older adults, particularly for immigrants. Focusing on 163 African immigrants aged 60+ in the U.S., this study examines the relationship between emotional well-being and key predictors: social isolation, financial satisfaction, acculturation, transportation, and grandchild care. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that social isolation, ethnic social relations, and financial satisfaction explained 25% of the variance in emotional well-being. Financial satisfaction positively influenced emotional well-being, while social isolation and ethnic social relations had negative impacts. Findings highlight the importance of community engagement for older immigrants and suggest incorporating multicultural components in aging programs to support their well-being.
