在文化适应和社会认同文献的基础上，本研究扩展了老年移民社会群体连通性的初步研究，以准实验的方式研究参与遗产文化群体的福利效益。澳大利亚6家老年护理机构的老年移民客户（N = 66）获得了日记手册，在2个月的时间里，他们在参加或不参加机构的遗产文化小组活动的选定日期完成一套测量。结果显示，参与传统团体减少了孤独感，增加了幸福感。未来的研究应该复制和扩展这些发现，以帮助我们理解遗产文化群体的参与如何帮助第一代老年移民在异国他乡成功地老龄化。
Drawing on acculturation and social identity literatures, the present research extends on initial work on social group connectedness among older immigrants to examine in a quasi-experimental study the well-being benefits of participating in heritage culture groups. Older immigrant clients (N = 66) of six aged-care agencies in Australia were given diary booklets in which to complete a set of measures on selected days when they did or did not attend the agencies' heritage culture group activities, over a 2-month period. Results showed that heritage group participation reduced loneliness and increased well-being. Future research should replicate and extend these findings to assist our understanding of how heritage culture group participation aids first-generation older immigrants with aging successfully in a foreign land.
