Majority adoption dynamics: Planes and domains and the primary role of diversity ideologies
Acculturation has been conceptualized as a bidirectional process in which both minority and majority groups undergo cultural changes as a result of intergroup contact. However, most studies have focused on the acculturation of minority groups, neglecting the analysis of changes occurring within the majority population. This study examines the acculturation of native Spaniards, specifically their adoption and preference for adoption of cultural el…
I Can’t Watch the Sunset With My Friends”: Developmental Tasks and Acculturation Dynamics Within Polish Families Living in Spain
This study aimed to investigate the dynamics of the acculturation process within Polish, opposite sex, nuclear families residing in Spain. Havighurst’s developmental goals associated with life stages, the Relative Acculturation Extended Model (RAEM), and the theory of family loyalties provided a theoretical framework for a qualitative multiple case study. The research involved 19 families of Polish or partially Polish origin (with 44 participants…

The quantitative study involved 181 teachers from Spanish public schools (56% female) who evaluated young Moroccans (N = 101) and Romanians (N = 80). In the qualitative study, focus groups and interviews were conducted with 29 teachers who gave their opinions about youn…
The role of intergroup emotions at understanding the acculturation preferences toward valued and devalued immigrants in Mexico and Spain
Minorities in Mexico: Stereotypes, threat, discrimination, and contact toward indigenous Mexicans, US immigrants, and Honduran immigrants
The central role of social exclusion when representing ethnic minorities and its association with intergroup attitudes
A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze the social representations of four ethnic minorities in southern Spain. Following a between-subjects design, Spanish participants (n = 532) were assigned to evaluate either Romanian Roma, Spanish Roma, Moroccan, or Romanian non-Roma people, with a free-association task and scales of stereotypes, emotions, and behavioral tendencies. Results showed that Romanian Roma was the most devalued target, eliciti…
Social Class also Matters: The Effects of Social Class, Ethnicity, and their Interaction on Prejudice and Discrimination Toward Roma
One of the difficulties in social research has been to disentangle the effects of race/ethnicity from social class. In two experimental studies with samples of both students and general population (total N = 416), we analyzed the effect of social class, ethnicity and their interaction on prejudice and discrimination using experimental methods. Social class (High vs. Low) and ethnic group (Roma vs. Non-Roma) were manipulated through a cover story.…
Getting closer to the minority culture: Experimental evidence of cultural enrichment to increase attributions of morality and majority adoption of Moroccan cultural patterns
The distinctive role of morality in fostering behavioural tendencies of facilitation towards Romanian Roma and immigrants
Awareness of the Psychological Bias of Naïve Realism Can Increase Acceptance of Cultural Differences
Acceptance of cultural differences can contribute to diversity. However, naïve realism—the conviction that one’s views are objective whereas others’ are biased—might hinder intercultural coexistence. We tested, in three experimental studies, whether a cognitive strategy based on raising awareness of the naïve realism, without any reference to culture and free of emotional involvement, can have a beneficial effect on cultural acceptance. Results r…
The importance of family in acculturation process of adolescents of Moroccan origin in Spain
The objective of this study was to analyse the relationship between variables of the family context (perceived family support, quality of parent–adolescent communication and family ethnic socialisation) and the acculturation process (perceptions and preferences of cultural maintenance and adoption) among adolescents of Moroccan origin living in Spain. The sample consisted of 360 Moroccan adolescents (58.7% females) between 12 and 19 years old, en…
Withstanding psychological distress among internally displaced Yazidis in Iraq: 6 Years after attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
Conflict and displacement contribute to high level of psychological distress. Resilience, however, seem to have a negative association with psychological distress. Additionally, living conditions and sex also played an important role in both psychological distress and resilience. Consequently, Yazidi community residing in camps are in need of further support to alleviate the consequences of displacement. We critically discuss the differences in t…
Acculturation preferences of Spaniards towards Middle Eastern and Syrian refugees and their relationship with the stereotypical dimension of morality / Preferencias de aculturación de españoles hacia …
Acculturation preferences of the majority towards minorities influence how their acculturation process takes place. According to the relative acculturation extended model (RAEM), these preferences depend on the area (public or private) in which it occurs. The aim of this study is to analyse the acculturation preference profiles of Spaniards towards Syrian and Middle Eastern refugees and their relationship with the stereotypical dimension of moral…
The psychosocial perspective on immigration: An introduction ( La perspectiva psicosocial de la inmigración: una introducción )
In recent decades, there have been an increasing number of notable contributions from social psychology to the study of immigration, one of the major social problems and challenges of the twenty-first century with important consequences for both the displaced persons and the host societies. Social psychology has studied immigration using a classic majority-minority paradigm, considering the host societies’ view of immigrants and the immigrants’ o…
Acculturation and adaptation of adolescents with immigrant backgrounds in Spain: Psychosocial profiles of latent classes ( Aculturación y adaptación de adolescentes de origen inmigrante en España: per…
The presence of adolescents with immigrant backgrounds in Spain is a structural phenomenon with major implications and challenges for intergroup coexistence. The purpose of this study is to analyse the possible existence of psychosocial profiles in these adolescents. Using latent class cluster models (LCCM), profiles were identified where these adolescents can be situated according to their responses to variables related to acculturation (prefere…
Variants of biculturalism in migrant and host adolescents living in Italy and Spain: Testing the importance of life domains through the Relative Acculturation Extended Model
Several variants of biculturalism have recently been proposed (Schwartz, Birman, Benet-Martínez, & Unger, 2016). Nevertheless, few studies have identified different types of bicultural individuals, and no one has addressed the possibility that these types could depend on acculturation domains. By using the Relative Acculturation Extended Model (RAEM), this study aimed to explore if different variants of biculturalism could be individuated, and if…
Acculturation preferences and behavioural tendencies between majority and minority groups: The mediating role of emotions
The main goal of this research was twofold. First, we aimed at determining how acculturation preferences and emotions were related to specific intergroup behavioural tendencies towards majority and minority groups. Second, we aimed at developing an intergroup behavioural tendencies scale that differentiates between valence (facilitation and harm) and intensity (active and passive). The role of intergroup contact was also examined, as it is a know…

Prejudiced Attitude Measurement Using the Rasch Rating Scale Model
There have been two basic approaches for the study of minority group prejudice against the majority: to adapt instruments from the majority group, and to use qualitative techniques by analyzing the content of the discourse of the groups involved. Neither of these procedures solves the problem of measuring intergroup attitudes of majorities and minorities in interaction. This study shows the result of a prejudice scale which was developed to measu…
