摘要：本文综述了二代人分段同化的相关文献和其他理论模型；对移民子女纵向研究的理论框架进行了总结；并展示其在南佛罗里达进行的第三次调查的证据，这些调查与其他假设有关。我们发现，大多数第二代年轻人在教育和职业上都取得了进步，但也有相当一部分人落在了后面。后一组并非随机分布在各个国家，但与基于移民父母的人力资本、家庭类型和公司模式的预测密切相关。很明显，从学习英语和美国文化的意义上来说，第二代移民无论成功与否都会被同化，但他们是加入主流中产阶级，还是加入被边缘化的、很大程度上被种族化的底层人口，这是有很大区别的。从随附的民族志模块中提取的叙述将定量结果纳入视角，并强调了今天在美国社会中发生的分段同化的现实。
Abstract We review the literature on segmented assimilation and alternative theoretical models on the adaptation of the second generation ; summarize the theoretical framework developed in the course of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study [CILS]; and present evidence from its third survey in South Florida bearing on alternative hypotheses. We find that the majority of second-generation youths are moving ahead educationally and occupationally, but that a significant minority is being left behind. The latter group is not distributed randomly across nationalities, but corresponds closely to predictions based on immigrant parents’ human capital, family type, and modes of incorporation. While it is clear that members of the second generation , whether successful or unsuccessful will assimilate – in the sense of learning English and American culture – it makes a great deal of difference whether they do so by joining the mainstream middle-class or the marginalized, and largely racialized, population at the bottom. Narratives drawn from the ethnographic module accompanying the survey put into perspective quantitative results and highlight the realities of segmented assimilation as it takes place today in U.S. society.
