▼ The Cultural Adaptation and Adjustment Scale (CAAS) is an empirically designed instrument based on findings from past literature and research, for use in educational and counseling settings to assess characteristics of human adjustment,
acculturation, and development. The CAAS was subjected to reliability analyses and confirmatory factor analysis procedures in order to explore its validity when used with non-Hispanic white and African American students, and with males and females. Reliability analyses revealed that the Cultural Insensitivity subscale had various items that decreased the reliability for all four groups, and the Positive Adaptation subscale, although few items appear problematic, had very low internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the CAAS model fit marginally well for non-Hispanic whites, but poorly for all other groups. A multiple-groups SEM analysis revealed that the relationships between the latent constructs and both genders are invariant. However, these relationships are different across ethnic groups.

▼ This study aimed to evaluate the association between
acculturation, health and nutritional status of Haitian-American mothers. Participants included 81 women ranging from 27.0-78.0 years. The majority of participants living in the US < 5 years (66.0%) had hypertensive blood pressure compared to only 28.6% of those who have lived in the US for >15.0 years. Of the participants identifying themselves as Haitian-American, 54.5% had diabetic blood glucose levels compared to 35.0% of those identifying themselves as Haitian. Similarly, 64.0% of those who identified themselves as Haitian-American were in the obese category as opposed to 51.7% who identified themselves as Haitian. Almost all participants reporting to never eat fast food had a body fat percent of either excess fat (51.4%) or risky fat (42.9%). Findings show that depending on the health outcome being considered among Haitian-American women living in the US,
acculturation may have either a negative or positive influence.

The purpose of this study was to explore the number and nature of the relationships between overt and covert acculturation when each of these areas was defined by multiple criteria. A review of the literature on acculturation suggested five possible approaches to defining ways in which acculturation occurs and thus indicating the nature of the overt-covert relationship. These five approaches to acculturation are briefly described as follows: (1) ENCAPSULATION suggests only limited material change with no behavioral or covert change occurring; (2) the COMPARTMENTAL approach accepts aspects of material change, with change in behaviors and values directly related to those necessary for material change; (3) the DEVELOPMENTAL approach posits rapid overt acculturation accompanied by less rapid covert acculturation, which creates dissonance within the areas of behaviors and values and often leads to mental health problems; (4) the SITUATIONAL approach suggests that bicultural individuals are able to hold and appropriately use a variety of behaviors and values without psychological stress; and (5) the MODERN MAN approach assumes that rapid acculturation takes place nearly simultaneously at the overt and covert levels. Based on these approaches, variables were selected which theoretically related to either overt or covert acculturation. For overt change, variables were chosen which represented types of exposure and defined aspects of behavior. For covert acculturation variables were chosen which were related to values and attitudes. A distinction was made between conceptual and operational values in order to test the theory that conceptual values are more strongly related to overt acculturation than operational values. The subjects were a sample of 208 12th grade high school students from American Samoa. These students were selected because they represented one of the most intact cross-sectional groups in American Samoa with exposure to both the Samoan enculturation and the western acculturation processes. By selecting only one grade, age and number of years of education were controlled making it possible to examine other sources of variation without confounding. The existence of a relationship between overt and covert acculturation has failed to be confirmed in most previous studies. This failure may have been due to the lack of reliability for the measures used. With this in mind, initial attention was directed to the construction of psychometrically sound scales, and later to the selection of appropriate variables. A canonical variate analysis was performed on 19 overt and 10 covert acculturation variables, and three significant (p≤ .01) canonical relationships were found. To confirm the generalizability of these results, the data was randomly divided and cross-validated for the first four canonical components. The first overt component and all four covert components attained the necessary correlational levels to indicate cross-validation. An…

▼ In breaking with past patterns of Puerto Rican immigrants to the U.S., the Central Florida Puerto Rican diaspora offers a unique opportunity for psychologists to study
acculturation. Four measurement models of
acculturation were examined in a sample of 484 Central Florida Puerto Ricans using of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The models tested varied in linearity (i.e., unilinear and bilinear) and dimensionality (i.e., cultural behaviors, values, and identity). As hypothesized, the bilinear three-dimensional model (i.e., cultural behaviors dimension, cultural values dimension, and ethnic identity dimension) resulted in the best model fit, χ2 (178) = 423.23, CFI = .95, TLI =.93, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .05. The results suggest that
acculturation among Puerto Ricans living in Central Florida is best conceptualized as a bilinear phenomenon in which individuals simultaneously adhere to European American and Puerto Rican culture. Within both cultural orientations, there seems to be related yet distinct values, behavioral, and ethnic identity dimensions. Puerto Rican behaviors, values, and ethnic identity domains were negatively related to European American behaviors and ethnic identity.

▼ In order to keep up with increasing competition companies use acquisitions to change or grow. Acquisitions are changes, and they do have an impact on organizations and its employees. When an acquisition takes place, two previously independent organizations and organizational cultures comes into contact, which causes changes in those cultures. These changes and the adaptation of the cultures can be described by the context of acculturation. Previous research in acculturation mainly focuses on determinants or acculturation outcomes. This study will therefore study the acculturation process. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and understand what the acculturation process look like after an acquisition. The method chosen for this thesis is qualitative, and the information has been collected by using semi-structured interviews. The study is a multiple case study and three cases are studied. We conclude that the acculturation process of acquired company is affected by several factors. What does the acculturation process look like after an acquisition can be understood by looking at these different factors and by finding reasons for what these factors are. Most strikingly, this study found that the acculturation process could not be understood separately from the acquisition process. Furthermore, in theory proposed agreements are not made in practice. The outcomes of this research are presented in a new model of the process of acculturation.

▼ As the United States continues to experience an enormous influx of refugees and immigrants, it generates a number of challenges for the social work profession. From the perspective of social work, each group must be understood in terms of its own cultural framework of meaning. African immigrants who re-settle to the U.S. must make profound adjustments to learn how to live in the American society and culture. The shift that takes place in relocating can be psycho-culturally overwhelming. This study utilizes a qualitative content analysis approach to examine the
acculturation experiences of black African immigrants living in the United States. The major findings reported by the ten participants interviewed were: (1) cultural adjustment difficulties; (2) racial adjustment difficulties; and (3) the role of low
acculturation in being a protective factor against acculturative stress. Implications for social work and policy are discussed.

▼ This paper discusses the process female international students experience when acculturating, or adjusting, while studying abroad in the United States. The research includes interviews from ten female international students in their third or fourth year of study from a Midwestern university to answer the question of how females have handled their adjustment process and what outside factors contribute to their overall study abroad experience. It is important to find trends on the contributing factors for a positive or negative study abroad experience according to the student’s viewpoint. Females make up a significant portion of the student body population studying abroad, yet there is limited research about their
acculturation process and what leads to success. This study found that participants recounted negative experiences relating to factors outside of their control, such as academic or social cultural differences, language barriers or financial stress. However, the female participants in this study, combined with their personal motivation and support networks, were able to find resources that enabled positive experiences to occur which offset the female students’ negative experiences. It is the female international student’s own mindset along with provided opportunities to create a support network that is vital for a positive
acculturation process. This positive experience is important for the international female student population to succeed in their academic journey.

▼ Partout, des millions d'immigrants doivent apprendre à interagir avec une nouvelle culture (
acculturation) et à s’y identifier (identification). Toutefois, il existe un débat important sur la relation entre l’
acculturation et l’identification. Certains chercheurs les considèrent comme étant des concepts identiques; d’autres argumentent qu'un lien directionnel unit ces concepts (c.-à-d. l'identification mène à l'
acculturation, ou l'
acculturation mène à l'identification). Toutefois, aucune étude n'a pas investigué la nature et la direction de leur relation. Afin de clarifier ces questions, trois modèles théoriques testeront la relation entre l’
acculturation et l’identification et deux variables centrales à l’immigration, soit être forcé à immigrer et l’incohérence des valeurs. Dans le premier modèle, les variables d'immigration prédirent simultanément l'
acculturation et l'identification. Le second modèle avance que les variables d'immigration mènent à l'identification, qui mène à l'
acculturation. Le troisième modèle précis plutôt que les variables d'immigration prédisent l'
acculturation, qui prédit l'identification. Le premier modèle propose que l'
acculturation et l'identification sont le même concept, tandis que les second et troisième stipulent qu'ils sont différents (ainsi que la direction de leur relation). Ces modèles seront comparés afin d’examiner l'existence et la direction du lien qui unit l'
acculturation et l'identification. Lors de la première étude, 146 immigrants latino-américains ont répondu à un questionnaire. Les analyses des pistes causales appuient le troisième modèle stipulant que l'
acculturation mène à l'identification et, donc, qu'ils sont des concepts distincts. Les résultats ont été confirmés à l’aide d’une deuxième étude où 15 immigrants latino-américains ont passé une entrevue semi-structurée. Les implications théoriques et pratiques seront discutées.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.
The focus of this research is acculturation in a multicultural student community. It used full-network analysis to investigate three questions: (1) Defining acculturation as formation of social relations, how did participants acculturate in a multicultural community?; (2) how well did they adapt?; and (3) what is the relationship between their ways of acculturation and their adaptation?
Given the salient cultural diversity in the community studied and its unique location on an island between the East and the West, it is believed that the combination of the dominant bi-dimensional theory and the social network analysis provided the best analytical framework. The study included a full-network online survey about two social relations among those within the community: who the participants socialized with and whom (up to six) they felt closest to. Out of 280, 150 members of the community responded to the questionnaire. Twenty-seven follow-up interviews were conducted to elicit insiders' views on the acculturation phenomenon.
The findings showed that this is a culturally diverse and cohesive community. Different patterns of social relations were observed in network visualization and analyzed as ways of acculturation at individual, dyadic, triadic, and group levels. In addition, unlike conventional wisdom, neither homophily nor proximity appeared to be the major mechanism for the formation of social ties in this community. Interviews suggested that the presence of cultural diversity, the institutionalized community events, and the student association's leadership are the major drives of intercultural friendship. Overall, the students adapted well socio-culturally, psychologically, and academically. The sociability of themselves and that of those they are connected to account for ~50% of the variance of their acculturation outcomes.
This study illustrated how a network understanding of acculturation can advance the theory by going beyond type categorization to a relational view. Its implementation demonstrated the potential of using networks as measures of acculturation in multicultural settings and how making networks visible itself might benefit those in the studied community. Limitations and future research directions were discussed to continue this effort of bringing culture and context back to acculturation research as called for.

▼ This study investigates the socio-cultural integration of resettler and host communities in Kuti
resettlement site in Gimbo woreda one of the resettlement sites selected for the 1985/86
resettlement program. The study was conducted with 20 participants selected from the resettled
and host communities. The premise for the selection of the mentioned study site is the absence of
prior research in the site and to add some additional knowledge on few researches done in sociocultural
integration aspect of resettlers in general. The research follows the procedures of an
exploratory case study design in examining the experiences of socio-cultural integration between
the host and resettler communities. Unstructured interview guide and two FGD sessions were
used as the data collection instruments. Content analysis technique was applied in this study.
This technique used to analyze their socio-cultural experiences and the perceptions towards each
other. Three key findings are emerged from this study. The first is that both the resettler and host
communities generally have positive regard towards each other. The second finding showed

▼ Purpose: Although physical activity (PA) is protective
against obesity, diabetes, and several other diseases, a profound
decline in PA occurs during puberty. Previous studies have shown
that this pubertal decline in PA is particularly steep in Latina
females. Latina females are at high risk for obesity, pre-diabetes,
and diabetes type 2. Therefore, this pubertal decline in PA is
detrimental to their current and future health. Research on
psychosocial correlates of PA in this understudied, high-risk
population is needed. ❧ Methods: Participants were 95 Latina
females, with mean age of 12.1 and mean BMI percentile of 87.0%.
Physical activity was measured objectively by accelerometry and
subjectively by 3- Day physical activity recall (3DPAR). Measures
also included body fat by air plethysmography, motivation for
physical activity, and
acculturation status. Regression models were
used to evaluate the associations between PA and psychosocial
measures, correcting for age and percent of body fat. ❧ Results:
Participants accrued an average of 31.4 minutes of moderate to
vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day as measured by
accelerometry. Girls who reported higher marginalization accrued
significantly more accelerometry measured MVPA per day

▼ A chronology of Choctaw archaeological assemblages is presented in the form of six seriations. The assemblages come from sites in a contiguous region that includes the North American Coal survey area in Kemper and Lauderdale counties. The results are combined with other archaeological evidence to examine how Choctaw material culture changed.
Acculturation began in the mid-18th century, as indicated by small numbers of European gunflints, beads, and glass scrapers found at Choctaw sites. The three divisions of the Choctaw confederacy used different decorations in the 17th and 18th centuries; combing became the main decorative treatment everywhere in the Choctaw homeland by ca. 1780.

▼ Muslim youth growing up in Western contexts face a complex set of issues as a result of meeting the various, and often incongruent, expectations placed upon them by their family, religion, ethnic community and host national society. This group of young people is often thought to face high risks of maladaptation, as they potentially experience the negative effects of
acculturation more so than host nationals or other immigrant youth. Recent research, however, has suggested that many Muslim migrant young people are successfully negotiating their experiences of cultural transition in Western societies. Therefore, the major aim of this thesis was to obtain systematic data on young Muslim migrant’s “pathways to positive development”, or how these young people achieve successful adaptation in the face of adversity.
To examine the complexities of Muslim migrant youth
acculturation fully, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of their lived experiences within and across contexts. In order to achieve this, four studies were conducted utilising mixed methodologies and drawing on a range of psychological and sociological theories, predominantly focusing on
acculturation, development and religiosity.
Study 1 qualitatively investigated the indicators and determinants of participation and success for Muslim youth in the New Zealand environment. The results of this study enabled a framework to be developed that illustrates the most salient ecological resources youth access (family, religion and the intercultural environment), the risks they face (discrimination and cultural differences) and outcomes of the
acculturation process. In study 2, this framework was refined by drawing upon theories of resilience, and subsequently was tested quantitatively with a sample of Muslim youth in New Zealand. Results from this study indicate that while Muslim youth in New Zealand may be at risk of maladaptative outcomes because of their exposure to discrimination and cultural transition, ecological resources may counteract some of the negative effects of these stressors.
Study 3 sought to test whether the results found in study 2 were generalisable to Muslim youth in other contexts by carrying out a comparative analysis of youth outcomes in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. These societies were chosen to be compared because they share a similar historic culture but have taken very different routes to social cohesion and the inclusion of minorities. The major aim of this study was to investigate whether the country of settlement has an impact on the adaptation of Muslim migrant youth. The results demonstrate that the cultural environment of migration plays an important contributing factor to both the experience of stress and the achievement of positive adaptation above and beyond the effects of resources.
Finally, study 4 utilised techniques of multilevel modelling to examine the
acculturation experiences of Muslim youth cross-culturally. Drawing on the International Comparative Study of Ethnocultural Youth (ICSEY) data, Muslim…

▼ Hispanic women are the fastest growing population in the United States. Thus, it is important to explore health disparities that affect this population and better understand potential causes. Several explanations have been proposed for disparities that exist including turning to cultural alternatives rather than conventional medicine, low numbers of health insurance enrollments among Hispanics, and
acculturation. However, little attention has been given to explanations that take into account the unique experiences of Hispanic women. The present study explored these experiences through investigation of endorsement of feminist attitudes (e.g., gender role adherence and beliefs that men and women should be treated equally in society) and level of
acculturation. Undergraduate Hispanic women (18-24 years of age, M = 20.25, SD = 1.51) at the University of North Texas completed measures including the Multidimensional Health Questionnaire, the
Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans-II, and the Liberal Feminist Attitude and Ideology Scale. Although results indicate that
acculturation was not significant in the sample, feminist endorsement was found to be positively correlated with health-esteem, health-efficacy, and internal-health locus of control. Limitations and recommended directions for future research are explored.

▼ The number of Vietnamese international students (VISs) in Australia has increased, and yet little is known about why these students chose to study abroad and how they have acculturated. The present study was designed to address these two questions. A Vietnamese-specific psychological
acculturation framework was constructed to provide the theoretical foundation for the study. Berry’s (1997) Psychological
Acculturation Framework and De Jong and Fawcett’s (1981) Value-Expectancy model were combined to investigate the motivations, the moderating factors existing prior to
acculturation (e.g. age), moderating factors arising during
acculturation (e.g. length of stay), as well as the
acculturation attitudes and
acculturation behaviours of VISs in Australia. A mixed methods research design was used comprising both quantitative (in-depth interviews with 51 VISs) and qualitative methods (web-based questionnaire survey of 301 VISs across Australia). The study revealed that ‘self-development’, ‘education’, ‘stimulation’, and ‘wealth’ were the goals research participants most wanted to attain, and that they had high expectations of achieving these goals in Australia. The desire to realize these goals influenced the participants’
acculturation attitude. Results also suggested a mismatch between the participants’
acculturation attitude and their
acculturation behaviour, and between motivation to study abroad and actual
acculturation. In other words, although indicating a preference for integration into Australian society and for attainment of their goals in studying abroad, the participants remained separate and poorly adapted to the mainstream culture, and their expectations were still unrealized. This mismatch was considered an ‘
acculturation dilemma’. A number of ‘surface challenges’ associated with life in a foreign culture (e.g. racism) appeared to cause this dilemma. Findings suggested additional explanations for this dilemma, including cultural mistrust of local hosts and other international students, and the assertion of ethnic identity. Implications of these findings, directions for future research, and the modest contribution to theory are discussed.

▼ Many studies have investigated travel motivation and acculturation separately. However, there is a dearth of research available that specifically investigates the relationship between acculturation and motivation to travel after immigration. This study explored the relationship between acculturation and travel motivations of Chinese-American seniors. It utilized a survey research approach to collect data. A total of 402 respondents completed a questionnaire. Frequency distribution, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to examine the data.
First, the respondents' past travel experiences did not affect their travel motivations. Second, gender did not have an effect on acculturation. Third, no difference was found in other acculturation dimensions based on age groups. Finally, acculturation levels influenced both the push-and-pull factors of travel motivation.

▼ Les contacts intergroupes, en général, et interculturels, en particulier, s’opèrent rarement sans heurts. Le Modèle d’Acculturation Interactif (Bourhis, Moïse, Perreault & Senecal, 1997) se situe au carrefour de la psychologie de l’acculturation et de la psychologie sociale, en ce sens qu’il intègre pleinement la question des relations intergroupes entre la majorité d’accueil d’un pays d’immigration et les minorités qui s’y installent. C’est pourquoi nous nous sommes basés sur les orientations d’acculturation qu’il décrit pour montrer, au travers de trois études, que certaines d’entre elles prédisposent le groupe majoritaire à exprimer des intentions de comportements discriminants versus non discriminants à l’égard de membres d’un exogroupe culturel, ethnique ou racial. Nous avons qualifié ces intentions de comportements de propension à discriminer du groupe majoritaire. Privilégier l’homogénéité des groupes (assimilation, ségrégation et exclusion) conduit, d’une manière générale, à une plus forte propension à discriminer que le fait d’accepter ou d’approuver des situations d’hétérogénéité culturelle (intégration de transformation, intégration, individualisme). Nous avons néanmoins observé une exception dans le cas de l’orientation intégrationniste, dans la mesure où si les individus qui endossent cette orientation rejettent massivement les comportements discriminants explicitement hostiles, ils tendent à faire preuve de « discrimination bienveillante » (Fehr & Sassenberg, 2009). Les études 2 et 3 se sont déroulées en plusieurs temps, ce qui a permis d’appréhender la progression des attitudes et de la propension à discriminer de professionnels de l’insertion, d’étudiants et de futurs cadres de la fonction publique à l’issue de formations visant à prévenir et lutter contre les discriminations. Ce sont surtout ces intentions de comportements discriminants « bienveillants » qui sont sujettes à évolution. L’ensemble des résultats invite à considérer la mise en place de formations qui travailleraient sur la décatégorisation (Brewer & Miller, 1984) et encourageraient par conséquent à l’individualisme dans certaines circonstances, notamment professionnelles et/ou organisationnelles. Enfin, il conviendrait d’examiner, plus généralement, l’impact des politiques assimilationnistes sur l’efficacité des dispositifs de lutte contre les discriminations mis en œuvre, par ailleurs, au niveau étatique.
Intergroup contacts in general, and intercultural relationships in particular, rarely take place without conflicts. The Interactive Acculturation Model (Bourhis, Moïses, Perreault & Senecal, 1997) is at the crossroads between the psychology of acculturation and social psychology. Indeed, the question of intergroup relations between majority and minority members is completely integrated in the IAM. That is why we focused on acculturation orientations the model describes to show, through three studies, which one predisposes the majority group to express discriminating behaviours versus non discriminating behaviours towards the members…

▼ Due to China's important status on the global stage, its language and culture have drawn a great deal of attention in academia. Meanwhile, the United States remains a major power, and English continues to be the most widely spoken language in today's world. Exploring intercultural communication among people who speak Chinese and English continues to be an important research area. This study, with its primarily linguistic concern, was designed to focus on a frequently employed figure of speech, metaphor. Based on a comprehensive review of literature on intercultural communication and cognitive linguistics, this research focused on metaphor's cognitive value in order to explore its universal validity. A sample database was generated utilizing metaphorical expressions in classical poetry from Chinese, British, and American literature. An in-depth content analysis was conducted using grounded theory methodology to investigate the common place understanding between Chinese and English cultures. Similarities were achieved among existing patterns of metaphorical expressions from relevant poems. Three primary types of metaphors were found. The first metaphor included abstract concepts projected to concrete concepts. The second metaphor was objects projected to human beings. The third metaphor was objects projected to objects. Two main implications were found based on this research. The primary implication for intercultural communication was related to common ground understanding, adaptation of Chinese immigrants in the United States, and improved international relations. Metaphor's universally cognitive validity constitutes the secondary implication of this study, which contributes to the development of cognitive linguistic theory.

▼ How well immigrants and refugees adjust to Canadian
society is critical for their well-being and integration. Using an
acculturation development framework and emphasizing a
process-oriented and strength-based approach, this dissertation
reports on three papers related to immigrant and refugee
adjustment, education, and acculturation in Canada. In the first
paper, I drew on ethnographic methodology to examine the school
engagement of newcomer Somali parents and the ways in which
engagement was facilitated in a school-based transition program. I
collected multiple types of data including field notes, meeting
notes, 19 individual interviews with program stakeholders
(teachers, after-school staff, cultural brokers, program
leadership, and representatives from immigrant serving
organizations), and one group interview with 13 Somali mothers.
Results showed that parental engagement was limited due to
language-related barriers, dissimilar cultural and educational
expectations, practical, resettlement, and social barriers. These
barriers were successfully addressed in the program through various
strategies including cultural brokering services and parent
information meetings. In the second paper, I used the same
ethnographic methodology to examine the school adjustment
experiences of recently arrived Somali and Ethiopian adolescents
with limited formal schooling. Field notes were recorded and
interviews were conducted with 11 adolescents, 8 of their teachers,
and 12 after-school/settlement staff working closely with the
adolescents during their early transition years. Results
highlighted the social-emotional, acculturation, and academic needs
of newcomer adolescent refugees, as well as their strengths. In the
third paper, I used a method of interpretive description to compare
the bicultural experiences and competencies of first- and
second-generation immigrants and refugees who have lived in Canada
for a longer period of time and have experienced positive
acculturation outcomes. Focus groups were conducted with eight
first-generation and eight second-generation youth and adults.
Results showed that both generations experienced acculturation
challenges and developed similar bicultural competencies; however,
the second generation experienced unique challenges within family
and heritage peer networks. Together, the findings highlight some
of the difficulties immigrants and refugees face when navigating
two cultures and the need for educational supports that take into
consideration their social-emotional and acculturation challenges
and acknowledge their cultural capital, aspirations, and
pre-migration knowledge.

▼ This research explored the nature of the relationship
between leisure experiences and perceptions of acculturation of
newcomer Chinese youth. Employing interpretive description
methodology, semi-structured interviews and a focus group elicited
subjective description of leisure and acculturation experiences to
expand leisure knowledge and develop practical applications (Berry,
Poortinga, Segall & Dansen, 2002; Mannell &
Kleiber, 1997; Padilla & Perez, 2003; Thorne, 2008, Thorne,
Kirkhan, MacDonald-Emes, 1997). Eight newcomer Chinese youth
participated who were thirteen to seventeen years old and had
recently immigrated to Canada. A bi-directional relationship
between leisure experiences and perceptions of acculturation
developed around similarities and differences among leisure
experiences in China and Canada, and factors that ease or hinder
their leisure in Canada. Perceptions of boredom in Canada are
related to how leisure was experienced. Approaches to acculturation
as interpreted from leisure experiences were influenced by specific
contexts. Further questions around leisure theory and applications
to practice are offered which are presented as recommendations for
future research. The significance of subjective investigation to
complement quantitative research is also
substantiated.

▼ With the increase in globalisation and migration, the future workplace will become more culturally diverse. Significant literature points out that culturally diverse workplaces can create organisational conflict because of the workers’ differences in cultural values, attitudes, and work styles. New Zealand, like other countries, has also faced the challenge of an increasingly diverse workforce. Although the associations between cultural diversity and conflict management styles in different countries have been widely discussed, the existing literature focuses more on comparison studies with participants who are from different countries. There is a lack of research investigating Chinese employees who live overseas and work in overseas organisations. Research on how young Chinese migrants cope with conflict in New Zealand organisations is scarce.
The purpose of this study is to explore Chinese migrant employees’ preferences for styles of conflict management and the reasons they perceive these styles, as well as the influence of
acculturation and ethnic identity orientation. The study argues that
acculturation, the process of cultural change, is one of the factors that relates to the use and perceptions of different conflict management styles. This study explores how immigrants who have acculturated, learned and adopted their host society’s cultural characteristics, perceived and faced conflict issues in the workplace. More particularly, this study investigates how the role of ethnic identity influences different conflict management styles.
A qualitative phenomenological method is employed in this study to obtain a deeper picture of conflict phenomena among Chinese migrant employees who have been through the process of
acculturation. This method is useful for describing the lived experiences of conflict and
acculturation. The data consisted of twenty one in-depth interviews with Chinese migrant employees from mainland China who work in twenty different New Zealand public sector organisations.
The findings of this study reveal that due to their
acculturation experiences, interviewees have developed an integrated bicultural identity that is rooted in good feelings about being New Zealanders, accompanied by a positive sense of Chinese ethnic identity. They view their own identity as a combination of both New Zealand and Chinese identities. Depending on the situation and the nature of their interpersonal relationships, interviewees can switch between these two identities without a problematic struggle.
Based on the influence of this integrated bicultural identity, the study finds that young Chinese migrant employees prefer to use a combination of integrating and compromising conflict management styles. The tendency to use integrating conflict management is highly influenced by their adaptation to New Zealand cultural values and attitudes. Being New Zealanders gives these bicultural Chinese migrant employees confidence to confront and integrate conflict directly, and solve it in cooperative manner.
The findings also show…

▼ This study explores how shamans??? level of
acculturation and demographics influence their recommendations in health services to clients who have symptoms related to a mental health disorder. Seventy-eight participants were identified through the snowball non-probability technique to complete surveys that measured their level of
acculturation, demographics, and recommendations of health treatment. Through quantitative data analysis, their level of
acculturation, specifically language and media, had a higher influence in their recommendation of medical treatment. However, demographics did not make a significant difference, except their age. This study demonstrates the need to provide more outreach to shamans so they understand mental health and when to recommend them to clients.

▼ This thesis is about the life of the Surinamese women in the Netherlands. The Surinamese are one of the largest populations in the Netherlands. There has been a continuous emigration from Suriname to the Netherlands for almost 40 years and it has always been an interesting question if the Surinamese people really could fully integrate in the Dutch society. Likeall women, Surinamese women have been trying to improve their position into society. Among other reasons, they came to the Netherlands for this particular reason. Whether it regards the structural integration or the socio-cultural integration,the Surinamese women have always been facing challenges while integrating. Because of these aspects and the still increasing arrival from the Surinamese women in the Netherlands, it is getting more important to
investigate this particular demographic group and the possible integration challenges they may be facing. So, this study explores the question:
“What difficulties and possibilities are experienced by the Surinamese women living in the Netherlands?"

▼ New Zealand, the land of milk and honey, is the „dream‟ of many Pacific people. Expectations of New Zealand were high as Pacific people dreamt of „the better life‟ from migrated family members who retold their experiences confirming their version of life in New Zealand. Many Pacific migrants came with the intention of improving the lives of their families and for themselves. Positioned within the situational context of understanding Pacific migrants isolated from their culture, this thesis aims to understand how island-born Pacific people acculturate to New Zealand society as consumers. The research question centers on understanding how Pacific people living in New Zealand experience consumer
acculturation.
This research founded on a critical ethnographic stance addresses traditionally unbalanced power relations between researcher and participant and ensures participants are in control of their involvement in the study. Video diaries are used to capture routine, daily experiences of Pacific consumers. Participants narrated and reflected on their lives in New Zealand and considered how this differed from their lives in the islands. Video diaries were conducted with nine participants from two cities in New Zealand; Hamilton and Dunedin. Participants are from; Samoa (3), Tonga (2), Fiji (3) and Cook Islands (1). Each participant is tasked with recording aspects of their lives for the duration of 6 to 8 weeks, meeting regularly with the researcher to discuss progress, change tapes, and, most importantly build a relationship. Upon completion of the diary fieldwork stage, the researcher and participant meet for a final interview to collaborate on themes and clarify any issues outstanding.
Participant narratives are expressed within five storylines: premigration expectations; change of the collective; becoming an individual; consumption desires; and, cultural maintenance. These storylines explore themes surrounding the consumer
acculturation process in New Zealand. They illustrate that the reality of life in New Zealand varies considerably from participants‟ initial expectations. Participants acknowledged that they needed to become more independent and take on more individualistic values to fit into their new environment. Participants attempted to maintain aspects of their culture, in particular, the "circle of giving" through obligation. However, this was not always possible.
Consumer
acculturation appeared throughout the everyday experiences of participants. This included; in public and private situations, in the home, work and at social occasions. Individual adaptation of consumption values from Pacific to Western pervaded all areas of participant lives. By looking at contemporary Pacific consumption patterns we learn that there is similarity to previous patterns of Western consumption. Consumption feeds the desires of many Pacific people to want more, have more, own more and replaces more traditional values like community ownership and reciprocity. A process of consumer
acculturation developed from these…

▼ The research begins with a discussion of the worldwide and the Canadian market. The
research profiles the examination of the relationship between a person's self concept (as
defined by Malhotra) and fashion orientation (as defined by Gutman and Mills), and to
understand how these factors are influenced by acculturation, focusing in-depth on their
managerial implications. To study these relationships; a random sample of 196 ChineseCanadian female university students living in Canada was given a survey based on
Malhotra's self-concept scale, and the SLASIA acculturation scale. Based on multiple
regression analysis, findings suggest that the adoption of language and social interaction
dimensions of acculturation constructs have significant effects on the relationship between
self concept and fashion orientation.
This research contributes significantly to both marketing theory and practice. Theoretically,
this research develops new insights on the dimensionality of fashion orientation, identifies
various moderating effects of acculturation on the relationship of self concept and fashion
orientation dimensions, and provides a framework to examine these effects, where results
can be generalized across different culture. Practically, marketers can use available findings
to improve their understanding of the fashion needs of Chinese-Canadian consumers, and
target them based on these findings. The findings provide valuable implications for
companies to formulate their fashion marketing strategies for enhance fashion orientation in terms of different dimensions, based on different levels of acculturation.

▼ Adolescence is a critical period in the development of a coherent and healthy sense of self (Erikson, 1968). In addition to the normative developmental tasks, children of immigrant families must also contend with
acculturation based challenges (Berry, Phinney, Sam, & Vedder, 2006; Chun, 2004; Cote, 2009). Developing a bicultural identity was associated with better adjustment, mental health, and family cohesion (Schwartz et al., 2015; Smokowski & Bacallao, 2011). Bicultural identity can also serve as a protective factor against acculturative stressors and promote positive mental health outcomes (Smokowski & Bacallao, 2011). East Asian American (EAA) adolescents may benefit from developing a bicultural identity. Early bicultural research has shown some promising results in fostering biculturalism in children of immigrant families, including positive psychological outcomes. However, the lack of replication studies impeded the development of new interventions and continued program development (Smokowski & Bacallao, 2011). Moreover, scholars argued that the general lack of research in EAA youth culture also made it difficult for the development of bicultural skills training programs that are specific to EAA youth (Hunt, Moloney, & Evans, 2011; Stein et al., 2014; Zhou & Lee, 2004). Participants included 51 EAA adolescents recruited from different East Asian ethnic churches in the southeastern region of the U.S. The author implemented a pretest and posttest, comparison and experimental group design. The treatment group condition received the bicultural skills training, and data were collected from a questionnaire at beginning and end of the four week training. The comparison group was a delayed treatment group. They were administered the questionnaires the same time as the treatment group, and again after four weeks. A simple linear regression suggested that increase in bicultural competence predicted increase in EAA adolescents wellbeing. Additionally, the results from the ANCOVA showed an increase in bicultural competence scores for the treatment group, but not for the comparison group. However, the results were not statistically significant. Thus, the East West Connection intervention was not effective in increasing biculturalism in EAA youth. The author concludes with a discussion for the implications for future counseling research and practice. ( en )

▼ Globalisation has emphasised two forces in
cross-cultural research – heterogenisation and homogenisation,
which contribute to the increased power of diasporas and the
emergence of a global consumer culture. Reverse
acculturation is a
recent phenomenon, describing the change in direction of the
acculturation process, back towards the culture of origin. Within a
global context, reverse
acculturation is investigated to determine
which globalisation force drives fully acculturated individuals to
return to their roots. An exploratory qualitative study was
conducted with five South African Chinese and five Anglo-Saxon
individuals. The findings identified the need for an evolved
acculturation process that recognises integration between homeland
and hostland as non-temporary. The findings acknowledged the
significance of diaspora research and the growing influence of
China on global culture. This confirmed the need for a dynamic
definition of
acculturation with the factors of life events, life
stages and family as significant to the process. The existence of a
heterogeneous global culture was supported over a homogenous
culture, requiring a cosmopolitan definition to update the current
definition based on outdated Western logic. The main findings were
applied to evolve the traditional framework towards a dynamic
acculturation process driven by individual agency and influenced by
a multi-layered construct of variables.

▼ In multi-cultural states such as California,
acculturation is an essential component in the current school dynamic. Immigrating students from a myriad of countries (such as Mexico and Latin America, Vietnam, Laos, Ukraine, Russia, just to name a few) have to deal with the processing of acculturating to a culturally different country. The authors have created a manual to help school psychologists and school counselors in identifying students who may be at risk for
acculturation stressors, identifying what level of
acculturation the students are at, as well as resources that can aide the school professional in dealing with unfamiliar cultures.
The authors have reviewed peer-reviewed journals that focused on
acculturation,
acculturation models/theories, acculturative stress, mental health and
acculturation. The literature review was assisted through the California State University Sacramento (CSUS) library website database (EUREKA). Search limits were put on the database such as English language, peer reviewed journals, pdf full text links if applicable. Search terms and keywords were the aforementioned terms of
acculturation,
acculturation models, acculturative stress,
acculturation and mental health. The community resources section of the manual was obtained via an internet search for community resources. Search terms and keywords included Hispanic community resources, Asian American community resources, etc. Search restrictions were limited to Sacramento, CA. or Sacramento County.
The authors??? conclusions are ensconced in their
acculturation manual. The manual is a byproduct of their literature research. The research focused on the study of
acculturation and its affects on school-aged individuals and their families. Additionally, possible school based interventions are reviewed and discussed to be used to aid with new immigrated students or refugee students.
