Intercultural Relations and Stereotypes among Afghan Immigrants in Iran
For over four decades, Iran has become increasingly culturally diverse due to the influx of Afghan immigrants. This study explores the dynamics of stereotypes and intercultural relations experienced by Afghan immigrants in Iran. Adopting a constructivist perspective, it seeks to understand the forms of stereotyping and intercultural encounters and the meanings participants attribute to them. Data were collected and analyzed using Constructivist G…
The examination of the Multicultural Ideology Scale-revised (MCI-r) in the Canadian context
Italian Adaptation of the Revised Multicultural Ideology Scale ( MCI‐r )
The rise of migrants from different cultural backgrounds in Italy highlights the need to promote harmonious coexistence between them and the local population. A key factor in addressing this challenge is the level of acceptance in society of a multicultural ideology. An instrument to measure this concept has recently been revised into the Revised Multicultural Ideology Scale (MCI‐r). Despite the urgency of adopting this broader ideology in Italy,…
The Acculturation and Adaptation of Afghan Immigrants in Iran
This study investigated the acculturation and adaptation of two generations of Afghan immigrants in Iran. It used a constructivist approach to understand the acculturation and adaptation phenomena and the meanings that participants attribute to them. Thirteen main categories were constructed from the data analysis: homesickness, wandering and struggling, getting accustomed, belief in differences, preference for intragroup interactions, feelings o…
An examination of the relationship between cultural distance and acculturation preferences in six post‐Soviet societies
This study examines the relationship between perceived cultural distance and acculturation preferences of ethnic majority groups and a minority group in six post‐Soviet societies: Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. We surveyed ethnic Russians (the ethnic minority) and members of the majority groups in each society. The total number of respondents was 3271 people. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the status of…
Passing Down Traditions and Culture
Painting skills of the Jelekong community have cultural values that need to be inherited to be passed on or communicated to the next generation through a self-taught practical art education process, given that culture is a learning process, not biologically inherited.One form of cultural inheritance to the next generation can be done through art education for generations.In education, learning to paint is seen as a means to achieve educational go…

Ecology, Culture, and Behavior
The field of cross-cultural psychology studies the development and display of human behavior as it emerges in various ecological and cultural contexts worldwide. I adopt two perspectives on this field: functionalism and universalism. The first perspective considers that individual behaviors are adaptive to these contexts in variable ways that permit success in life; that is, adaptation involves changing societal institutions and behaviors over ti…
The Search for Some General Psychological Principles for Improving Intercultural Living in Plural Societies
The dramatic increase of intercultural encounters that have resulted from international migration and globalisation has presented challenges for societies, their institutions and their residents. The assumption is usually made that most culturally plural societies and their members seek to engage in positive encounters, rather than having conflictual ones. There are many factors (political, economic and historical) that can promote or limit the a…
The integration hypothesis
Evaluating the integration hypothesis
The Integration Hypothesis states that acculturating migrants who adopt the integration strategy (i.e. being doubly engaged, in both their heritage culture and in the larger national society) will have better psychological and socio-cultural adaptation than those who adopt any other strategy (Assimilation, Separation or Marginalization). This hypothesis was supported in the original evaluation of the ICSEY project data, using the mean adaptation …
How shall we all live together
Living together in culturally plural societies poses numerous challenges for members of ethnocultural groups and for the larger society. An important goal of these societies is to achieve positive intercultural relations among all their peoples. Successful management of these relations depends on many factors including a research‐based understanding of the historical, political, economic, religious and psychological features of the groups that ar…

The Ascent of Cross-Cultural Psychology
This special Issue of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology (IACCP) in 1972. This article seeks to provide a summary of the main influences that led to its founding, and the events and activities that followed. In this article, we search for the many relationships between cultural and behavioral phenomena, beginning around the turn of…
The Forgotten Field
Cross-cultural psychology has employed the concept of the “field” in two ways. First, as articulated by Lewin, it is the larger context in which all individuals develop their behaviors and now express them; it is a conceptual space within which to situate human behavior. Second, it refers to the cultures and communities in which anthropologists have usually worked, making observations of daily life, and then describing the cultures of the people;…
Validation of the Revised Multicultural Ideology Scale (MCI-r) in the UK
As worldwide migration continues to grow, valid and reliable instruments are needed to assess the psychological processes that influence the successful management of intercultural relations in different sociopolitical contexts. In this study, we test whether the original Multicultural Ideology Scale (MCI) required a revision to remain 'fit for purpose' in the current culturally plural context of the UK (MCI-r). Specifically, six subscales are pro…
Japanese people's attitudes toward acculturation and intercultural relations
Dealing with cultural diversity is one of the key challenges in contemporary societies, with Japan being no exception. However, relatively little is known about how minority group members are viewed by members of the dominant group. The current paper presents a study that evaluated three hypotheses that are related to these issues with a survey of 210 Japanese adult participants. The study also examines moderating roles of national identities in …
Family and Youth Development
Much research on migrants has focused on single individuals; however, the large-scale movement of people from one society to another often includes families made up of parents, their children and other relatives. Over time, these families and their members settle into their new society; they experience the process of acculturation and eventually adapt to their new circumstances. The processes of acculturation and adaptation are highly variable ac…
Acculturation
Acculturation is the process of cultural change that takes place as a result of contact between cultural groups. It is also a process of psychological change among individuals who are members of these different groups. Such contact and change occur during colonization, military invasion, migration, and sojourning (e.g., tourism, international study, overseas posting). It continues after initial contact in culturally plural societies, where ethnoc…

Development and Validation of the Revised Multicultural Ideology Scale in Germany and Luxembourg
A revised version of the Multicultural Ideology Scale (rMCI) is currently being developed to measure endorsement of multiculturalism in different cultural contexts. This study, which is part of a wider cross-cultural research project, presents the first assessment of the rMCI scale in the German language. The measure aims to cover several attitudinal dimensions of multiculturalism, relevant to the integration of different ethnocultural groups: Cu…
A Taxonomy of Intergroup Ideologies
This paper provides an analysis and a general taxonomy of intergroup ideologies, and presents a list of their indicators. This taxonomy is related to the eight ideologies that were originally outlined in the early works. These ideologies were created on the basis of three dimensions of intercultural relations: cultural maintenance; social participation; and relative power. The taxonomy of intergroup ideologies proposed here follows these three di…

Immigration, Acculturation, and Adaptation
La psychologie interculturelle a montré qu'il existait des rapports étroits entre le contexte culturel et le développement comportemental de l'individu. Cette relation établie, l'effort des recherches interculturelles a de plus en plus porté sur ce qu'il advenait des individus quand ils tentaient de refaire leur vie dans une culture différente de leur culture d'origine. Les conséquences psychologiques à long terme de ce processus d'acculturation …
Immigrant Youth
Cet article présente plusieurs des principaux résultats d’une grande étude internationale sur l’acculturation et l’adaptation de jeunes immigrés (âgés de 13 à 18 ans) qui se sont implantés dans treize pays ( N = 5,366); il y est adjoint un échantillon de jeunes nationaux ( N = 2,631). La recherche s’appuyait sur trois questions centrales: comment les jeunes migrants gèrent‐ils le processus d’acculturation? Comment parviennent‐ils à s’adapter? Et …
A Psychology of Immigration
The discipline of psychology has much to contribute to our understanding of immigrants and the process of immigration. A framework is proposed that lays out two complementary domains of psychological research, both rooted in contextual factors, and both leading to policy and program development. The first (acculturation) stems from research in anthropology and is now a central part of cross- cultural psychology; the second (intergroup relations) …
Comparative Studies of Acculturative Stress
A series of studies of acculturative stress is reported, involving immigrants, refugees, Native peoples, sojourners and ethnic groups in Canada. Acculturative stress is defined as a reduction in health status (including psychological, somatic and social aspects) of individuals who are undergoing acculturation, and for which there is evidence that these health phenomena are related systematically to acculturation phenomena. A theoretical model and…
Acculturation
Acculturation
In cross-cultural psychology, one of the major sources of the development and display of human behavior is the contact between cultural populations. Such intercultural contact results in both cultural and psychological changes. At the cultural level, collective activities and social institutions become altered, and at the psychological level, there are changes in an individual's daily behavioral repertoire and sometimes in experienced stress. The…

Acculturation Attitudes and Acculturative Stress of Central American Refugees
Research on acculturation has revealed a variable relationship between acculturation and mental health, which is due to the presence of a number of moderating factors. Some of these factors, namely, modes of acculturation, acculturative experience with the host society, contact with the culture of origin, and individualistic values have been examined in order to understand better the relationship of these factors with acculturative stress. In the…

Immigrant acculturation and wellbeing in Canada
This article examines the acculturation and wellbeing of immigrants in Canada. Acculturation is broadly defined as the set of cultural and psychological changes that follow the contact between two cultural groups and their members (Berry, 2005).The different ways of relating to the larger society and to their heritage group have been called acculturation strategies (Berry, 1980; Berry, Kim, Power, Young, & Bujaki, 1989). We examine some of the so…
Psychological, sociocultural, and marital adaptation of Turkish immigrant couples in Canada
The study examined the acculturation and adaptation of 200 married Turkish immigrants in Toronto, Canada, using self‐report questionnaires. As an extension of research from sojourners to immigrants, and from individuals to married couples, marital adaptation was introduced and three facets of adaptation were differentiated: psychological, sociocultural, and marital. The findings support the contention that adaptation is multifaceted. Consistent w…
Acculturative stress among young immigrants in Norway
The study examined the relationship between migration and the incidence of emotional disorders among 568 young Third World immigrants in Norway. Participants were 10–17 years of age. Using a questionnaire, acculturative stress (i.e., change in health status as a result of acculturation) was found to exist among the children, although having to migrate or being born in Norway was not related to mental health status. A stressful acculturative exper…

Generational differences in acculturation among Asian families in Canada
By examining generational differences between adolescents and their parents, the present study attempts to establish which specific aspects of strong kinship are maintained among Asian groups undergoing acculturation. Vietnamese (adolescent N = 104; parent N = 70), Korean ( N = 111; N = 83), and East‐Indian ( N = 97; N = 84) families were compared for family relations and acculturation attitudes. As compared to the Anglo‐Celtic group (adolescent …
Psychological Differentiation in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Cross-cultural studies of psychological differentiation are reviewed with the objectives of: examining the applicability, across cultures, of the main propositions of differentiation theory and the generality of its intracultural supporting data; identifying extensions of the theory, and of its empirical base, suggested by the cross-cultural findings; and delineating problems in the existing data and useful lines of further cross-cultural inquiry…
Acculturative Stress and Acculturation A ttitudes Among Indian Immigran ts to the United Sta tes
The paper investigates the relationship between acculturation experience and accultura tive stress among a group of 76 Asian Indian immigrants living in mid-western United States using Berry et al. 's(1987) model. The most preferred acculturation attitude was found to be one of Integration. Acculturative stress had significant positive relationships with attitudes of Separation and Marginalisation but negative relation ship with Integration. Assi…
Acculturative Stress
Examined is the hypothesis that the psychological response to social change would vary as a function of both the acculturative pressures brought to bear on a community, and the traditional cultural and behavioural features that characterize the community. By sampling from communities of Amerindian peoples, across an eco-cultural range, evidence was presented which indicated that the greater the cultural discontinuities across cultures, then the g…
The Ecocultural Framework, Ecosocial Indices, and Psychological Variables in Cross-Cultural Research
Relationships between context variables (ecosocial indices) and psychological variables across different nations were investigated, guided by Berry’s Ecocultural Framework. The psychological variables were values (Hofstede; Inglehart; Schwartz; Smith, Dugan, and Trompenaars) and subjective well-being (Diener). The ecosocial indices of religion and affluence had separate and in some ways contrasting relationships with psychological variables. Some…
Understanding and Managing Multiculturalism
This paper outlines the nature of multiculturalism in Canada and examines such psychological constructs as security, contact, similarity and prejudice that have been used to study it. It reviews empirical findings involving the dominant and acculturating groups and weighs the problems and prospects for the policy of multiculturalism in Canada. The implications of this work for developing societies are pointed out
Marginality, Stress and Ethnic Identification in an Acculturated Aboriginal Community
Psychological changes which result from culture contact and social change have been described for many years within a number of theoretical frameworks, among which is the theory of Marginal Man: Persons living in an acculturated Aboriginal (Australian) community were interviewed in an attempt to comprehend the relations among a number of scaled variables involved in this and other theoretical approaches. Measures taken, in addition to psychologic…
The role of family acculturation, parental style, and perceived discrimination in the adaptation of second-generation immigrant youth in France and Canada
In this paper, we examine the risk and protective factors that affect adolescents' psychological and socio-cultural adaptation within immigrant families. We consider how parents' and adolescents' acculturation orientations and parental socialization practices promote the adaptation of adolescents and protect them against discrimination in two receiving countries (France and Canada). Adolescents (N = 718), mothers (N = 625), and fathers (N = 518) …
The Canadian Born in the United States. Leon E. Truesdell
A Gã Folk Tale
Amongst some material recently recorded for me by Mr. E. A. W. Engmann, a native of Christiansborg, was a passage from his prize essay, " Ganyo bi". The passage contained a Gã, folk tale told some years ago to Mr. Engmann by his aunt (minyε nukpa). Apart from any intrinsic merit, the story affords an interesting example of the adaptation of a borrowed theme. A detailed comparison with the well-known Akan version would undoubtedly prove profitable…
Some Notes on the Phonology of the Nzema and Ahanta Dialects
The domain of h- and q- which are prosodic features is stated in this paper to be the radical and its immediate extensions and affixes: for example, *h(edide), eating, is phonetically elile, and *q(edade), sleeping, is phonetically date. But as in other Akan languages, especially Twi, h- and q- may prove in Nzema also to be a feature of larger pieces
Temne and Eskimo Perceptual Skills
Aptitudes perceptives des Temne et des Esquimaux. — Des épreuves de discrimination et d'aptitude spatiale ont été administrées à des sujets appartenant à deux sociétés différentes, les Temne du Sierra Leone et les Esquimaux de la Terre de Baffin (des sujets écossais ont été utilisés comme groupe de référence), pour vérifier l'hypothèse selon laquelle les aptitudes perceptives seraient plus développées chez les Esquimaux qui vivent de la chasse qu…

Ecology, Perceptual Development and the Müller-lyer Illusion
Two separate traditions of research into the Müller-Lyer illusion have existed for at least 70 years: the ecological and the developmental. To assess the ecological hypothesis, a sufficient range in visual ecology typically has been sought in cross-cultural comparisons; however, many of these comparisons have been inconclusive, especially when other ethnic variables have been held constant. These insignificant findings are considered to result fr…
On Cross-Cultural Comparability
La nécessité se fait sentir, pour les psychologues qui travaillent dans une perspective interculturelle, d'expliciter leurs méthodes et de parvenir à un certain consensus qui permette de juger et de comparer les résultats. l'auteur propose ici un cadre de travail méthodologique pour la recherche interculturelle, qui s'inspire des discussions passées de certains anthropologues. Trois conditions s'avèrent nécessaires si l'on veut donner quelque val…

Psychological Research in the North
A decade ago Vallee challenged psychologists to go North;1 most have been content to stay South. However some research has been done in the interval to supplement the meagre work done earlier, and this paper will attempt a selective and topical review of it. Research with native peoples by psychologists, as well as psychiatrists and psychologically sophisticated anthropol ogists will be surveyed under four headings:2 cognitive skills; attitudes; …

Culture and Cognition
Originally published in 1974, studies of cultural influences on cognition, carried out from a variety of theoretical and methodological stances, were collected for the first time in this volume. The editors placed particular emphasis on selecting material by authors from many countries who had been working with people from a wide range of cultures. In a general introduction they provide an historical overview of the major issues, and draw togethe…

Reciprocity of inter-ethnic attitudes in a multicultural society
Research in Multicultural Societies
In recent years there has been a dramatic rise in the number of comparative studies of groups within culturally plural nation states. There are two models which may serve as frameworks for guiding such research-the unicultural and the cross-cultural. An argument is advanced that research in plural societies requires a new model, one which draws primarily upon the cross-cultural model, reflecting an ideology of cultural pluralism, so that the inde…

Geographic Mobility and Ethnic Tolerance
The literature suggests that geographic mobility, both inside one's country and internationally, will be associated with general ethnic tolerance. A national survey (n = 1277) was conducted in Canada employing measures of geographic mobility and a variety of scales of general ethnic attitudes. Results indicated that geographic mobility was positively associated with general ethnic tolerance independently of respondents' ethnicity, socioeconomic s…
Psychological Adaptation of Vietnamese Refugees in Canada
The influx of Vietnamese refugees to Canada has raised questions regarding their resettlement and adaptation. This study examines the psychological adaptation of 72 adult Vietnamese refugees in the City of Kingston, Ontario, by means of an interview and questionnaire consisting of 12 demographic questions and the psychological section of the Cornell Medical Index (CMI), with some modifications, the psychological adaptation of the refugees in this…
