Bicultural identity orientations have rarely been examined in relation to both perceived discrimination and psychological distress. Furthermore, these constructs have usually been studied in isolation, but their intersection is essential for understanding intercultural relations in multicultural societies. Using cross-sectional data from 1,143 Canadian undergraduate students from immigrant families, this study explored the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress, and how bicultural identity orientations might mediate this relationship. The structural equation modeling results indicated that perceived discrimination was associated with higher levels of psychological distress and hybrid, monocultural, alternating, and conflicted orientations, but lower levels of complementary orientation. Alternating and conflicted orientations were related to higher psychological distress, whereas the other orientations were not. Alternating and conflicted orientations mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress, whereas the other orientations did not. The findings are discussed in light of theories on identity integration, rejection–identification, and acculturation.

移民到加拿大的感知歧视和心理困扰:双重文化身份取向的中介作用

相对于感知到的歧视和心理困扰,很少对双文化身份取向进行研究。此外,通常对这些结构进行单独研究,但它们的交集对于理解多元文化社会中的跨文化关系至关重要。本研究使用来自1,143名来自加拿大移民家庭的加拿大大学生的横截面数据,探讨了感知的歧视与心理困扰之间的关系,以及双文化身份取向如何介导这种关系。结构方程模型的结果表明,感知的歧视与较高的心理困扰和混合,单一文化,交替和冲突的取向有关,但与较低的互补取向有关。方向交替和冲突与较高的心理困扰有关,而其他方向则与心理困扰无关。交替和冲突的取向介导了感知的歧视和心理困扰之间的关系,而其他取向则没有。根据有关身份整合,拒绝识别和适应的理论对这些发现进行了讨论。
