ABSTRACT Migration flows have generally led to an increase in questions about the multiple influences on people’s cultural identity. This study aims to examine more closely the ways in which second-generation individuals of Portuguese descent juggle a two-fold cultural environment. We opted for a person-centered approach with a sample of N = 70 adults, all from Portuguese immigrant families living in the Grand-duchy of Luxembourg. Results yielded three different bicultural profiles: blended, alternating bicultural, and a new ambivalent cultural identity profile. Our results distinguish between psychological markers of identity and the behavioral aspects necessary for the transition from one cultural framework to the other. In addition, we observed different patterns of psychosocial health among the four cultural identity profiles. Our research enriches the literature by highlighting different endorsement of regulatory control strategies of second-generation adults according to their cultural identity profile, with different psychological outcomes.

住在中间还是里面？具有移民背景的第二代年轻人的文化认同概况

摘要 移民潮普遍导致人们对文化认同的多重影响问题的增多。本研究旨在更仔细地研究葡萄牙血统的第二代人如何在双重文化环境中游刃有余。我们选择了以人为本的方法，样本为 N = 70 名成年人，全部来自居住在卢森堡大公国的葡萄牙移民家庭。结果产生了三种不同的双文化特征：混合的、交替的双文化特征和新的矛盾的文化特征特征。我们的结果区分了身份的心理标记和从一种文化框架过渡到另一种文化框架所必需的行为方面。此外，我们在四种文化身份特征中观察到了不同的社会心理健康模式。
