Relationships Between Ethnic Identity, Ethnic Attitudes, and Acculturative Stress in Tunisian Individuals in Early and Middle Adolescence

2016

Framed from an integrative approach, the current article examined the associations between ethnic identity exploration (EIE), ethnic identity commitment (EIC), and acculturative stress by investigating the mediating role of ethnic attitudes (i.e., in-group favoritism and out-group derogation) in these relationships. Additionally, the moderating role of age was analyzed. A multiple-group path analysis was performed on data collected from 256 Tunisians in early and 248 in middle adolescence living in Italy, which is an interesting and understudied immigrant group characterized by similarities and differences with the host population. In younger adolescents, EIE and EIC were indirectly and po…

ACCULTURATION STUDIES IN SPAIN IN THE LAST DECADE

2017

In a globalized world, numerous groups of people come into permanent contact with each other and experience psychosocial changes. These changes, produced during contact between culturally different groups, are called acculturation.

The results show that the main topics studied are the areas of nuclear and peripheral acculturation, the role of prejudice in the adoption of one acculturation style or another, the influence of the acculturation strategies adopted on people’s mental health and other variables that influence the process o…

Les établissements français de l'Inde et l'Algérie (fin XIXe-XXe siècle) : acculturation juridique, déculturation ou assimilation ?

2008

International audience; La politique coloniale française, à partir de la IIe République, est axée autour d'une volonté assimilationniste dont le corollaire est l'acculturation juridique. Cependant, le maintien des statuts personnels et les résistances des Français d'origine métropolitaine, la limitent au profit d'une association sélective. Ce n'est que lorsque les velléités indépendantistes prennent de l'ampleur que l'assimilation est à nouveau mise en avant, afin de tenter de maintenir les populations locales sous le giron français et de les convaincre des bienfaits de la conception hexagonale du droit. Si la Révolution française a une conception ouverte de la nation, les régimes suivants …

Moving on the trajectory : a qualitative study of new immigrants' acculturation in Finland

2015

With a steady growth of immigration in Finland, the current number of immigrants has reached nearly 6% of the total population.

Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate new immigrants’ acculturation in Finland. Previous studies have been focused on either refugees or returnees, so this study aims to produce an inclusive investigation of acculturation of on both forced and voluntary immigrants, as well as returnees who have engaged in the official integration pl…

Acculturation preferences towards immigrants: Age and gender differences among Finnish adolescents

2018

Abstract Discussions concerning if and how immigrants should acculturate into Finnish society have become popular especially in the aftermath of the refugee crisis. Despite the abundance of research on acculturation preferences of majority members towards immigrant groups, research on the stability of majority acculturation preferences in adolescence does not exist. In a sample of early (11–13 years, n = 157), middle (14–16 years, n = 362) and late (17–19 years, n = 279) adolescents, this study investigated the stability of acculturation preferences as adolescents age, and the extent to which men and women differed. Contrary to expectations, results indicated support for integration increas…
