-Original research from an international team and based on data
from over 7,000 immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds
living in 13 countries of settlement.
In this book, an international team of psychologists with interests
in acculturation, identity, and development describe the experience
and adaptation of immigrant youth, using data from over 7,000
immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds living in 13
countries of settlement. Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition
explores the way in which immigrant adolescents carry out their
lives at the intersection of two cultures (those of their heritage
group and the national society), and how well these youth are
adapting to their intercultural experience. Four distinct patterns
are followed by youth during their acculturation: *an integration
pattern, in which youth orient themselves to, and identify with
both cultures; *an ethnic pattern, in which youth are oriented
mainly to their own group; *a national pattern, in which youth look
primarily to the national society; and *a diffuse pattern, in which
youth are uncertain and confused about how to live interculturally.
The study shows the variation in both the psychological adaptation
and the sociocultural adaptation among youth, with most adapting
well. This book is useful for professionals, researchers, graduate
students, and public policy makers who have an interest in
psychology, anthropology, sociology, demography, education, and
psychiatry. It is also a valuable resource for public,
governmental, and university libraries.
