文化适应策略是移民适应的一个重要预测因素，对亚裔美国人，特别是亚裔美国青年的研究不足。本研究以个人为导向的潜在特征分析，探讨生活在美国中西部地区的韩裔早期青少年的文化适应策略。2007年对221个家庭进行了访问，其中包括220名青年（平均年龄为13岁，47.7%为女性），272名母亲和164名父亲（N=656）。他们在2008年再次接受了采访（N=588）。研究发现了三种不同的文化适应策略：分离（11.8%,n=26），整合双文化（66.9%,n=150）和适度双文化（21.3%,n=44）。融合双文化青年的族群认同感最强，特质最有利，为双文化的益处提供实证支持。研究结果进一步表明，分离可能并不像之前认为的那样有害，而适度的双文化主义——尚未完全发展的双文化主义——实际上可能不太受韩裔美国年轻人的欢迎。
Acculturation strategy, a significant predictor of immigrant adaptation, has been understudied with Asian Americans, in particular, Asian American youth. Using person-oriented latent profile analysis, this study identified acculturation strategies among Korean American early adolescents living in the Midwest. Two-hundred ninety one families were interviewed in 2007 that included 220 youth (mean age = 13, 47.7% female), along with 272 mothers and 164 fathers (N=656). They were re-interviewed in 2008 (N=588). The study found three distinct acculturation strategies: separation (11.8%, n=26), integrated bicultural (66.9%, n=150), and modest bicultural (21.3%, n=44). Integrated bicultural youth reported the strongest sense of ethnic identity and the most favorable characteristics, providing empirical support for the benefit of biculturalism. The findings further suggest that separation may not be as detrimental as previously thought, and modest bicultural—biculturalism that is not fully developed—may in fact be less desirable among Korean American youth.
