本研究的目的是为了确定文化适应、族裔认同和宗教派别对阿拉伯和中东裔人所感受到的歧视的影响，使用177名阿拉伯或中东裔人的最终样本来衡量文化适应的两个方面(族裔社会融入和主导社会融入)、宗教归属和族裔认同。结果表明，阿拉伯/中东美国人报告的主导社会沉浸度较低，往往报告的歧视程度较高。此外，穆斯林报告的歧视程度高于基督徒，但这一发现受到文化适应程度的影响。具体地说，报告高水平沉浸在主导社会中的穆斯林遭受的歧视最多，而报告高水平沉浸在主导社会中的基督徒报告的歧视较少。并讨论了研究的意义。
The aim of the current study was to determine the impact of acculturation, ethnic identity, and religious affiliation on perceived discrimination for persons of Arab and Middle Eastern descent, Two aspects of acculturation (ethnic society immersion and dominant society immersion), religious affiliation, and ethnic identity were measured using a final sample of 177 individuals of Arab or Middle Eastern descent. Results indicated that Arab/Middle Eastern Americans who reported lower levels of dominant society immersion tended to report higher levels of discrimination. Furthermore, Muslims reported a higher level of discrimination than Christians but this finding was moderated by level of acculturation. Specifically, Muslims who reported a high level of dominant society immersion experienced the most discrimination, whereas Christians who reported a high level of dominant society immersion reported less discrimination. Study implications are discussed.
