This systematic literature review focuses on research findings from 20 peer-reviewed studies on the relations between the constructs of acculturation and creativity as well as acculturation and innovation in higher education. The overall research findings suggested a primarily causal relation between acculturation and creativity through statistical modeling. However, acculturation was also found to be correlated with and predict creativity. Moreover, attributes of acculturation discovered to engender creativity included multicultural learning experiences, individualistic culture type, homogeneous cultural dyads and the acculturation strategy of biculturalism. In contrast to its well-founded relation with creativity, acculturation was tentatively found to be a positive and significant predictor of innovation. This review highlights the strength of acculturation aspects, particularly biculturalism and the integration of contrasting cultural ideas, in influencing the ability to be creative or innovative in postsecondary environments.

高等教育中的文化适应与创造力和创新之间的关系：系统文献综述


本系统文献综述重点关注 20 项同行评审研究的研究成果，涉及高等教育中的文化适应与创造力以及文化适应与创新之间的关系。总体研究结果通过统计模型表明文化适应和创造力之间存在主要因果关系。然而，文化适应也被发现与创造力相关并可以预测创造力。此外，发现的能够产生创造力的文化适应属性包括多元文化学习经历、个人主义文化类型、同质文化二元性和二元文化主义文化适应策略。与创造力之间有充分根据的关系相反，文化适应被初步发现是创新的积极且重要的预测因素。这篇评论强调了文化适应方面的力量，特别是双文化主义和对比文化观念的整合，在影响高等教育环境中的创造力或创新能力方面。
