With globalization and technological advances, there has been a sharp increase in the number of people living cross-culturally with mobility. With this, the number of children living mobile cross-national lives, often termed Third Culture Kids (TCKs), is also increasing. TCKs are defined as those who have accompanied their parents for work or study overseas during their significant developmental years, before 18. They are often described as people who build relationships to all of the cultures they have lived in, but not having a full ownership in any. To gain an overall understanding of the current research landscape on this population, a systematic review was conducted on the literature of empirical research on Third Culture Kids (TCKs). The search utilized the EBSCO PsycINFO database and focused on psychosocial issues. An initial yield of 399 articles were further curated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with consensus by two psychology researchers, resulting in 31 research publications. The content analysis review included comparisons across years, types of publications, authors, research design and analytical methods, sample age and definition, and frequency of the domains and themes. This systematic review compiled descriptive tables of studies and reviewed key findings of the three most-researched domains—emotional, relational, and identity development. The paper also highlighted discussions about the lack of standardization in TCK definition, challenges in TCK research, and suggestions for future directions.

对第三文化孩子的实证研究的系统回顾

随着全球化和技术的进步,跨文化居住在流动性中的人数急剧增加。因此,经常被称为第三文化儿童(TCK)的跨国生活儿童的数量也在增加。TCK的定义是那些在18岁之前在其重要的发展年中陪伴父母出国工作或学习的人,通常被称为与自己所生活的所有文化建立关系但没有完全所有权的人。任何。为了全面了解该人群当前的研究前景,对第三文化孩子(TCK)的经验研究文献进行了系统的综述。该搜索利用了EBSCO PsycINFO数据库,并侧重于社会心理问题。两位心理学研究人员在共识的基础上,根据纳入和排除标准,进一步确定了399篇文章的初始产量,产生了31篇研究出版物。内容分析审查包括跨年比较,出版物类型,作者,研究设计和分析方法,样本年龄和定义以及领域和主题的频率。这份系统的综述汇编了研究的描述性表格,并回顾了三个研究最广泛的领域(情感,关系和身份发展)的主要发现。本文还重点讨论了有关TCK定义缺乏标准化,TCK研究面临的挑战以及对未来方向的建议的讨论。产生了31种研究出版物。内容分析审查包括跨年比较,出版物类型,作者,研究设计和分析方法,样本年龄和定义以及领域和主题的频率。这份系统的综述汇编了研究的描述性表格,并回顾了三个研究最广泛的领域(情感,关系和身份发展)的主要发现。本文还重点讨论了有关TCK定义缺乏标准化,TCK研究面临的挑战以及对未来方向的建议的讨论。产生了31种研究出版物。内容分析审查包括跨年比较,出版物类型,作者,研究设计和分析方法,样本年龄和定义以及领域和主题的频率。这份系统的综述汇编了研究的描述性表格,并回顾了三个研究最广泛的领域(情感,关系和身份发展)的主要发现。本文还重点讨论了有关TCK定义缺乏标准化,TCK研究面临的挑战以及对未来方向的建议的讨论。这份系统的综述汇编了研究的描述性表格,并回顾了三个研究最广泛的领域(情感,关系和身份发展)的主要发现。本文还重点讨论了有关TCK定义缺乏标准化,TCK研究面临的挑战以及对未来方向的建议的讨论。这份系统的综述汇编了研究的描述性表格,并回顾了三个研究最广泛的领域(情感,关系和身份发展)的主要发现。本文还重点讨论了有关TCK定义缺乏标准化,TCK研究面临的挑战以及对未来方向的建议的讨论。
