这篇文章讨论了社会文化动态与先前研究不足的群体中民族-种族身份体验的相互作用。一项对来自美国28所主流大学的40名美国原住民学者进行的定性跨学科研究作为一个案例，其研究结果与历史上有影响力的理论框架形成了对比，这些理论框架假设了一个人的主流教育和职业与一个人的民族-种族社区基础之间的身份混淆和冲突。与仅仅认同一种世界观的压力不同，与部落参与者的包容性和灵活的自我概念相关的情境性的、动态的身份使他们能够反过来利用与他们独特的社会文化背景相关的两种不同的文化意义系统。这些变化不是内生的，而是外生的变量，没有引起历史上理论化的问题。参与者认为，他们的部落身份反而促进了对现有不一致的有意义的整合，从而产生了意想不到的弹性主观体验。（三）2017年西部社会科学协会。Elsevier Inc.出版。版权所有。
This article discusses the socio-cultural dynamics that interact with ethno-racial identity experiencing in a previously under-researched group. A qualitative interdisciplinary study with 40 Native American academics from 28 mainstream universities across the U.S. served as a case example with findings that contrasted with historically influential theoretical frameworks postulating identity confusion and conflicts at the intersection of one's mainstream education and profession versus one's ethno-racial community grounding. Instead of feeling pressure to identify with only one worldview, the contextual, dynamic identities associated with the inclusive and flexible self-concept of tribal participants allowed them to in turn take advantage of two divergent cultural meaning systems pertaining to their distinct socio-cultural contexts. These shifts were experienced as not endogenous but rather exogenous variables, which did not cause the historically theorized issues. Participants felt their tribal identities instead facilitated meaningful integration of the existing incongruences, which resulted in unexpectedly resilient subjective experiencing.
