How shall we all work together
Social capital, acculturation attitudes, and sociocultural adaptation of migrants from central Asian republics and South Korea in Russia
This research examines the relationship of social capital with the acculturation attitudes and sociocultural adaptation of 122 migrants from Central Asian republics of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan) and 136 migrants from South Korea. The questionnaire included scales for assessing acculturation attitudes (integration, assimilation, and separation), individual socia…
Intercultural Relations in Georgia and Tajikistan
The paper presents the results of two studies of intercultural relations in post-Soviet Georgia and Tajikistan. These countries have in common a sharp decline in cultural diversity as a result of wars and conflicts, and this model of intercultural relations on post-Soviet space was identified as a post-conflict model. The goal of this study was to evaluate three hypotheses of intercultural relations: multiculturalism, contact and integration (Ber…

Mutual Intercultural Relations
In culturally diverse societies, one of the biggest questions on our minds is 'how shall we all live together?' Mutual Intercultural Relations offers an answer to this fundamental and topical issue. By exploring intercultural relationships between dominant/national and non-dominant/ethnic populations in seventeen societies around the world, the contributors are each able to chart the respective views of those populations and to generate 'general'…

Textbook of Cultural Psychiatry
Cultural psychiatry is concerned with understanding the impact of social and cultural differences and similarities on mental illness and its treatments. A person's cultural characteristics can often lead to misunderstandings, influenced by language, non-verbal styles, codes of etiquette and assumptions. There may also be perceived misconceptions and differences in beliefs and values. In order to provide appropriate, sensitive and acceptable servi…

Acculturation
Acculturation: A Conceptual Overview - 1
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) …

Meeting the Challenges of Fieldwork in Cross-cultural Psychological Research
The last two decades have evidenced a phenomenal growth of cross-cultural research on issues related to basic as well as applied psychological problems. While somepeople still doubt the very existence of cross-cultural psychology as a separate area of inquiry, the methodology of research in this field has been characterised by a variety of risks and challenges. In this article a few major challenges of fieldwork in cross-cultural psychological re…
Emics and Etics
Cross-cultural psychology involves both the cultural understandings of behaviour and the comparative analysis of these understandings. The emic and etic approaches proposed by Pike were seen by him as complementary, rather than alternative, or even conflicting, ways of achieving these understandings. With Pike's original conception as a basis, the cultural and the comparative aspects of the field are viewed as symbiotic, allowing for ecological a…
Social Psychological Costs and Benefits of Multiculturalism
Most countries are now culturally plural, with more than one ethnicity and language represented in their populations. And nation states usually have a policy (either explicit or implicit) towards their pluralism. Many attempt to forge some homogeneity through a process of assimilation, while others verge on breaking apart because of separation movements. Yet others seek to achieve mutual accommodation among the various cultural elements, through …
Multiculturalism as Such and in Estonia
Wolfgang Drechsler': Ladies and gentlemen, the panel discussion which I have been asked to chair will have two parts: First, a conversation between the panelists and myself, in order to wrap up the conference along certain questions that pose themselves. Second, we shall open the floor to the audience, and all those who want to ask or state something are more than welcome to do so
Ethnicity and Culture in Canada
Multicultural and ethnic attitudes in Canada
A national survey of multicultural and ethnic attitudes was carried out in June 1991, with a representative sample of 2500 respondents, and oversamples in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver (total N = 3325). Scales were developed to assess attitudes towards various aspects of multiculturalism (
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…
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…
Acculturation and Adaptation in a New Society
Psychological Adaptation of Chinese Sojourners in Canada
Psychological adaptation during acculturation was studied among 68 Chinese sojourners (students and visiting scholars from China and Hong Kong), 28 Chinese immigrant and Chinese‐Canadian students, 30 Chinese students and scholars in China, and 33 non‐Chinese Canadian students. Each participant completed questionnaires pertaining to various aspects of their lives and personalities, including: health beliefs and behaviours; problems and ways of cop…

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…

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…
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…

Legumes in the Papago-Pima Indian Diet and Ecological Niche
The Papago and River Pima diets have historically been based on legumes rather than on grains or meats. Their selection of certain legume foods over other potential staples characterizes their ecological niches. The range of bean pod and seed foods utilized by the Northern Pimans are discussed in terms of folk taxonomy, protein content, preparation, and general importance. Their most important wild food, mesquite pods, and a key cultivated food, …

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…

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…
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; …

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…

Papago Indian floodwater fields and Tepary bean protein yields
Traditional Papago Indian floodwater farming today is a threatened agricultural ecosystem in Southwestern North America. Tepary beans, Phaseolus acutifolius var. latifolius, are used here as a nutritional indicator of this native system's efficacy. Teparies are a heat and drought adapted crop of the Papago, and historically one of their most important protein and mineral sources. Their mean protein contents and seed yields per plant tend to be hi…
