ABSTRACT The current study explored a whole-network approach to measure the impact of institutional completeness at an individual-level with regards to [Kim, Y. (2001). Becoming intercultural: An integrative theory of communication and cross-cultural adaptation. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.] a theoretical model of cross-cultural adaptation. A new construct of ‘ethnic entrainment’ was proposed as a way to bridge the different levels of theoretical constructs in the model. The analytical challenge of verifying the influence of institutional completeness (a group-level construct in the model) on individuals’ communication patterns was partially overcome in this study by measuring the degree of one's structural embeddedness in various ethnic community networks (i.e. information, emotional support, and tangible help exchange networks). A community member survey (N = 172) was utilized to construct social networks of a Korean immigrant community. The research tested hypotheses generated from Kim's theorems on the relationships between ethnic group strength and host/ethnic interpersonal/mass communication. Three out of five hypotheses were supported through hierarchical regression analyses.

提炼跨文化适应理论：探索制度完整性的新方法论

摘要 当前的研究探索了一种全网络方法来衡量制度完整性在个人层面的影响 [Kim, Y. (2001)。成为跨文化：沟通和跨文化适应的综合理论。加利福尼亚州千橡市：Sage.] 跨文化适应的理论模型。提出了一种新的“种族夹带”结构，作为连接模型中不同层次理论结构的一种方式。在本研究中，通过测量一个人在各种族群社区网络中的结构嵌入程度（即信息、情感支持），部分克服了验证制度完整性（模型中的一个群体层面的构造）对个人交流模式的影响的分析挑战。 ，以及有形的帮助交流网络）。社区成员调查（N = 172）被用来构建韩国移民社区的社交网络。该研究测试了从 Kim 的关于族群力量与东道国/族裔人际/大众传播之间关系的定理中产生的假设。五分之三的假设得到了分层回归分析的支持。
