Although acculturation is considered a mutual process, no measure assesses attitudes toward mutual acculturation. Through a novel four-dimensional measurement, this study addresses this research gap by assessing attitudes toward minority and majority acculturation and its relation to psychological adjustment for immigrant-background minority and non-immigrant majority adolescents in public secondary schools in three European countries: in Germany (n = 346, 46% female, Mage = 12.78 years, range 11–16), Greece (n = 439, 56% female, Mage = 12.29 years, range 11–20), and Switzerland (n = 375, 47% female, Mage = 12.67 years, range 11–15). Latent profile analyses led to three distinct acculturation profiles in all three countries: strong and mild mutual integration profiles, where both migrant and majority students are expected to integrate, and a third profile assuming lower responsibility upon the majority. Additionally, those in the strong- and mild-integration profiles reported stronger psychological adjustment than those assuming lower responsibility upon the majority, which held for all students in Switzerland and mostly for those without a migration background in Germany. The findings demonstrate the importance of a mutual acculturation framework for future research. Moreover, as most adolescents fit in with one of the mutual integration patterns, findings stress that no matter their migration background, adolescents favor mutual integration including the expectation on schools to enhance intercultural contact.

少数与多数青少年的相互涵化态度及其与心理适应的关系

尽管文化适应被认为是一个相互的过程,但没有任何衡量标准可以评估对相互文化适应的态度。通过一种新颖的四维测量,本研究通过评估对少数族裔和多数族裔文化适应的态度及其与三个欧洲国家公立中学移民背景的少数族裔和非移民多数青少年的心理调整的关系来解决这一研究差距:在德国(n  = 346,46% 女性,M年龄 = 12.78 岁,范围 11-16),希腊(n  = 439,56% 女性,M年龄 = 12.29 岁,范围 11-20)和瑞士(n  = 375, 47% 女性,M年龄 = 12.67 年,范围 11-15)。潜在的概况分析导致所有三个国家的三个不同的文化适应概况:强烈和温和的相互融合概况,预计移民和多数学生都将融入其中,第三个概况对大多数人承担较低的责任。此外,与那些对大多数人承担较低责任的人相比,处于强融合和轻度融合特征的人报告了更强的心理调整,这适用于瑞士的所有学生,并且主要适用于那些在德国没有移民背景的学生。研究结果证明了相互文化适应框架对未来研究的重要性。此外,由于大多数青少年符合其中一种相互融合模式,研究结果强调,无论他们的移民背景如何,
