Immigrant/Acculturation Experience
2022, Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Acculturation is the balance between adopting the attitudes and behaviors of the dominant culture while retaining the traditions, values, and beliefs of one’s own culture.6 It has also been described as “the process of cultural change and adaptation that occurs when individuals from diverse cultures come in contact with each other”2 or when individuals living in multicultural societies encounter each other.1 This process of acculturation can have a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of immigrant populations.
A systematic and integrative review of qualitative research exploring experiences of acculturation and education among African-born migrants
2022, International Journal of Intercultural RelationsCitation Excerpt :These themes are academic achievement, participation in education, parent and guardian-based support, academic adjustment, and peer relationships. These themes are indicative of both sociocultural adaption (ability to handle daily life in host country; Berry, 2004) and psychological adaption (physical and psychological well-being; Berry, 2004). Table 3 provides a list of studies included and a summary of section relevant findings.
Comparing liking and attitudes of Chinese immigrants in New Zealand towards drinkable yoghurt: an exploratory study
2021, Food Quality and PreferenceCitation Excerpt :The term “acculturation” is commonly used to denote the process by which a group adopts the cultural patterns of a dominant or host group (Satia-Abouta, 2003). There are large variations in how people seek to engage in the acculturation process, and in how long the process takes, as not all individuals undergo acculturation comparably (Berry, 2004; Shim & Schwartz, 2007). Subsequently, in the present study focus group discussions were utilised to explore (i) the extent to which recent immigrants to a country could be representative of consumer liking in their home country and (ii) whether attribute liking could be associated with residence time.
Home and away: A national mixed-methods questionnaire survey of host and migrant Registered Nurses in New Zealand
2020, CollegianCitation Excerpt :When migrant nurses enter a host country they encounter language, social and workplace differences (Newton, Pillay, & Higginbottom, 2012). Adaptation to life in a new country is best conceptualised through the term ‘acculturation’, described as “cultural and psychological change that takes place as a result of contact between cultural groups and their individual members” (Berry, 2004, p. 27). The process involves variations in the strategies (attitudes and behaviours) used to attempt to manage adaptation and develop competence in the host society and workplace.
