“…These orientations reflect migrants’ general dispositions toward these cultural groups and are at the heart of acculturation research (Doucerain et al, 2017). They have been studied extensively as predictors of a wide range of social and health outcomes, including intergroup contact, language proficiency, alcohol use, interpersonal conflict, identity crises, internalizing symptoms, depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and cognitive performance (Anhalt et al, 2020; Doucerain, 2017; Guler & Berman, 2019; Kim & Omizo, 2005; Pham & Lui, 2020).…”

A defining feature of biculturalism is the experience of switching back and forth between different cultural ways of being and acting in the world. This work investigates antecedents of this switching process using a cultural adaptation of the Day Reconstruction Method, in which participants divide the previous day into episodes and then rate these episodes on various criteria. We hypothesized that episode characteristics (specifically, language used) and stable personal dispositions (specifically, mainstream and heritage cultural orientations) would independently and interactively predict migrants’ cultural identification during an episode. We examined three types of identification among Russian-speaking migrants to Canada ( N = 109): mainstream (“Canadian”); heritage (“Russian”); and mainstream–heritage hybrid (“Russian-Canadian”). Results of multilevel regression analyses supported our hypotheses overall. A more positive orientation to a given cultural group and the use of that group’s language(s) were associated with stronger identification with that group during an episode. Language Use × Cultural Orientation interactions were evident for heritage and hybrid situational identification. The positive association between heritage orientation and situational heritage identification was stronger during episodes when the heritage language was not used than when it was used. A positive heritage orientation was associated with greater situational hybrid identification only during episodes when a mainstream language was used. The results are consistent with the perspective that acculturation is a multifaceted, contextual, and dynamic process whereby people acquire and flexibly use multiple cultural repertoires to meet both their general goals and the cultural demands of specific situations.

“…car accidents, violence, cirrhosis). Pham and Lui (2019) noted that the largest increase in drinking prevalence has occurred among Asian American college students with little attention devoted to this trend. It is important to evaluate the degree to which campus efforts at prevention and intervention are designed for, or informed by research about White students.…”

“…Future research also must contend with heterogeneity within these populations. For example, cultural scripts in certain ethnic groups (e.g., Perrotte & Zamboanga, 2019;Pham & Lui, 2019), unauthorized immigrants (Garcini et al, 2016), or groups with specific religious affiliations (Jankowski, Meca, Lui, & Zamboanga, 2018;Meyers, Brown, Grant, & Hasin, 2017) may preclude some individuals from consuming alcohol and/or protect them from negative drinking consequences.…”

Hazardous alcohol use is associated with deleterious health effects and social consequences, reduced work productivity, and increased medical and criminal justice expenditures. Research has consistently shown not only ethnic differences in prevalence rates of drinking behaviors and alcohol use disorders but also negative alcohol-related consequences and treatment-seeking patterns. Mainstream alcohol research has tended to focus on determinants and mechanisms that are common across ethnocultural groups; hence, there are tremendous opportunities to address issues that are especially pertinent to alcohol use and misuse in ethnic minority communities. Articles in this special issue present state-of-the-science investigations that address risk and protective factors associated with alcohol initiation, cognitions around alcohol use, high-risk behaviors, and drinking outcomes across segments of the U.S. population. Using generalizability, group differences, and multicultural approaches, as well as variable-and person-centered methods, these articles showcase a range of factors that warrant systematic examination. We encourage scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to consider culturally relevant factors and pathways across individual, social, and cultural levels and to develop a comprehensive understanding of alcohol use outcomes. These approaches have the translational potential to reduce ethnic disparities in alcohol use and misuse.
