ABSTRACT

Ethnic minority members experience varying levels of conflict and blendedness between their ethnic and national identities, with important implications for psychosocial adjustment. To examine the critical role of intergroup contexts, we manipulated whether “being both” was accepted vs. rejected by either the majority population or fellow minority members in a survey experiment among Dutch ethnic minority members (N=820)., We subsequently measured Bicultural Identity Integration and Positive and Negative Affect. Identity conflict and negative affect were unaffected, but participants experienced more blendedness and more positive affect when the majority agreed ratherthan disagreed, that “it is a good thing to be both”. We discuss how the findings can help to facilitatte identity integration among ethnic minority populations in diverse societies.

多数人接受与拒绝“两者兼而有之”有助于移民的双文化身份融合和积极影响

摘要

少数族裔成员在其种族和民族身份之间经历不同程度的冲突和融合,这对心理社会调整具有重要意义。为了检验群体间背景的关键作用,我们在荷兰少数民族成员的调查实验中操纵了“两者兼而有之”是否被大多数人口或其他少数民族成员接受与拒绝(N = 820)。我们随后测量了双文化身份整合和正面和负面影响。身份冲突和负面影响不受影响,但当大多数人同意而不是不同意时,参与者经历了更多的融合和更积极的影响,“两者兼而有之是件好事”。我们讨论了这些发现如何有助于促进不同社会中少数民族人口的身份整合。
