Abstract	:	This present quantitative study examined the relationship between levels of acculturation and marital satisfaction scores among Iranian immigrants that has immigrated to the United States within the last five years and reside in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California. Self-reported scales ENRICH EMS and the Iranian Acculturation scale were completed 27 heterosexual married participants. Results of the multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the relationship between acculturation and levels of marital satisfaction among Iranian immigrant individuals were insignificant. Additionally, the data suggests that arranged marriages have a significant impact on both marital satisfaction and level of acculturation of heterosexual married Iranian immigrants. Heterosexual married Iranian immigrants that had arranged marriages have significantly higher marital satisfaction or higher acculturation levels than heterosexual married Iranian immigrants that did not experience arranged marriages. These findings imply that further research shall be conducted in order to understand the impact of acculturation and marital satisfaction on Iranian immigrants.
