本研究探讨了双文化认同这一尚未被充分研究的话题;具体来说,我们:(1)解开双文化认同整合(BII)的结构,或者双文化个体感知他/她的两种文化认同是“兼容”还是“对立”的程度,(2)确定BII的人格(大五)和文化适应(文化适应压力、文化适应态度、双文化能力)预测因子。在BII、文化适应压力和双文化能力方面的差异是用为研究目的而开发的新工具测量的。我们以华裔美国双文化为样本,发现BII的变化并没有定义一个统一的现象,正如文献中通常暗示的那样,而是包含两个独立的结构:两种文化身份或取向之间的距离感知(与重叠相比)和冲突感知(与和谐相比)。研究结果还表明,文化冲突和文化距离具有明显的人格、文化适应和社会人口因素。
The present study examines the underresearched topic of bicultural identity; specifically, we: (1) unpack the construct of Bicultural Identity Integration (BII), or the degree to which a bicultural individual perceives his/her two cultural identities as "compatible" versus "oppositional," and (2) identify the personality (Big Five) and acculturation (acculturation stress, acculturation attitudes, bicultural competence) predictors of BII. Differences in BII, acculturation stress, and bicultural competence were measured with new instruments developed for the purposes of the study. Using a sample of Chinese American biculturals, we found that variations in BII do not define a uniform phenomenon, as commonly implied in the literature, but instead encompass two separate independent constructs: perceptions of distance (vs. overlap) and perceptions of conflict (vs. harmony) between one's two cultural identities or orientations. Results also indicated that cultural conflict and cultural distance have distinct personality, acculturation, and sociodemographic antecedents.
