Mainstream acculturation in superdiverse settings
This work focuses on migrants’ ‘other‐cultures’ intergroup contact – contact with individuals belonging to neither their heritage ingroup nor the mainstream outgroup. We test the overarching hypothesis that other‐cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream acculturation, especially when contact in the mainstream group is scarce. Study 1 results show that frequent other‐cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream identi…
General or Situational? Exploring Cultural Identification Patterns Using Entropy Among Maghrebi Immigrants to Canada
Migrants and members of cultural minorities must negotiate their identification with multiple cultural groups.

Furthermore, we know little about how variability in identification acr…

It provides evidence that RSA is related to migrants' adoption of the mainstream culture and may modulate how they handle perceived ethnic discrimination. Thus, this study also provides evidence that RSA is tied to how individuals successfully navigate novel social environments, including novel cultural con…
