本文关注的是第一代苏联犹太难民青少年及其父母在美国定居的文化适应过程。首先，对新旧文化的适应程度进行独立评估。第二。文化适应的评估是多方面的，包括语言能力、行为文化适应和文化认同的结构。第三，评估移民生活阶段差异对文化适应过程的影响程度。整体。数据表明，随着时间的推移，对于大多数文化适应维度，文化适应似乎以线性模式发生，对美国文化的适应增加，对俄罗斯文化的适应减少。然而，父母的俄语能力并没有随着在俄罗斯居住时间的长短而下降。此外，在俄罗斯身份方面，父母和子女之间出现了意想不到的文化差异，青少年比父母更认同俄罗斯文化。
This article focuses on the process of acculturation for first-generation Soviet Jewish refugee adolescents and their parents who have resettled in the United States. First, the extent of acculturation to the new and the old culture is assessed independently. Second. acculturation is assessed multidimensionally, including the constructs of language competence, behavioral acculturation, and cultural identity. Third, the extent to which life stage differences at immigration affect the acculturation process is assessed. Overall. the data suggest that acculturation appears to occur in a linear pattern over time for most dimensions of acculturation, with acculturation to the American culture increasing and acculturation to the Russian culture decreasing. However, Russian language competence for the parents did not diminish with length of residence in the country. Furthermore, an unexpected acculturative gap was observed between parents and children with respect to Russian identity, with adolescents being more identified with the Russian culture than their parents.
