    Abstract
    The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between acculturative stress and depression in non-Irish nationals living in Dublin. Moderating factors included resilience and religiosity (measured as frequency of religious worship attendance and intrinsic religiosity), and mediating factors of gender, age, marital status, country of origin, and English language proficiency were taken into account. Participants were 70 foreign nationals (29 male and 41 female, mean age 32.84), obtained through snowball sampling. A cross-sectional design was employed. An analysis of covariance suggested a relationship between acculturative stress and depression, as well as a relationship between resilience and depression. A Pearson's r correlation coefficient suggested a positive relationship between acculturative stress and depression, and a negative relationship between resilience and depression. Limitations included small sample size, and high frequency of missing values in data. Further research is recommended.
