How Do People Perceive Immigrants? Relating Perceptions to Numbers
How does the general public perceive immigrants, whom do they think of when thinking about "immigrants," and to what extent are these perceptions related to the actual composition of immigrant populations? We use three representative online surveys in the United States, South Africa, and Switzerland (total N = 2,778) to extend existing work on the perception of immigrants in terms of geographic coverage and individual characteristics. We also rel…
Adolescents' mutual acculturation attitudes and their association with national self-identification in three Swiss cantons
Acculturation is a mutual process, meaning that members of minority as well as majority groups acculturate and thus experience cultural and psychological changes when having intercultural contact. This study assessed mutual acculturation attitudes in the school context through a four-dimensional measurement examining attitudes toward (1) migration background students' heritage culture maintenance and their (2) dominant culture adoption, (3) major…
Minority and Majority Adolescents’ Attitudes toward Mutual Acculturation and its Association with Psychological Adjustment
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…
Identification and comparison of school well-being patterns of migrant and native lower secondary-school students in Greece and Switzerland: A multigroup latent profile analysis approach
Questionnaire data from a cross-sectional study of two samples on adolescents of 814 lower secondary school students (M_age = 12.47) from Greece (n = 439) and Switzerland (n = 375) were used to identify and compare school well-being patterns of migrant and native students by multigroup latent profile analyses (LPA). The aim of this paper, by applying LPA as a typological approach, is to delve empirically into the question whether migrant and nati…
Assessing attitudes towards mutual acculturation in multicultural schools: Conceptualisation and validation of a four-dimensional mutual acculturation attitudes scale
Assessment of acculturation attitudes usually has focused on the importance of two dimensions: first, immigrants’ maintenance of cultural heritage and, second, immigrants’ adoption of the majority culture. Because acculturation is a reciprocal interaction, we extended a bidimensional scale to four dimensions to assess mutual acculturation. Given the importance of the social context for acculturation and schools as a crucial context for immigrant …
