Multiculturalism is a hotly debated issue in today's global arena. Much of the controversy arises due to different understandings of the term in public and political discourse. We argue that multiculturalism has three core components—diversity, ideology, and policy—and that heterogeneous cultural groups in multicultural societies are ultimately seeking social justice, but in different ways. Moving beyond the broad social science research to the influences and impacts of multiculturalism within psychological studies, we introduce the concept of normative multiculturalism and propose an integrative framework, presenting multiculturalism as a contextual variable and examining its impact in terms of intergroup relations and subjective well‐being. We also consider how multiculturalism at the societal level can be differentially experienced by immigrants and members of the receiving community. Finally, we discuss strategies for maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks of multiculturalism, reconciling differing justice conceptions, and enhancing positive outcomes for the wider society.

语境中的移民和多元文化主义：心理学研究框架

多元文化主义是当今全球舞台上一个激烈争论的问题。许多争议是由于公共和政治话语中对该术语的不同理解而引起的。我们认为多元文化主义具有三个核心组成部分——多样性、意识形态和政策——并且多元文化社会中的异质文化群体最终寻求社会正义，但方式不同。超越广泛的社会科学研究到心理学研究中多元文化主义的影响和影响，我们引入了规范多元文化主义的概念并提出了一个综合框架，将多元文化主义呈现为一个语境变量，并从群体间关系和主观幸福方面考察其影响。存在。我们还考虑了移民和接收社区成员如何不同地体验社会层面的多元文化。最后，我们讨论了使多元文化主义的利益最大化和风险最小化、调和不同的正义观念以及为更广泛的社会增强积极成果的策略。
