“…Based on Redfield and his colleague's model, the Social Science Research Council added a psychological dimension to the definition of acculturation in the 1950s (Padilla & Perez, 2003). For individuals, acculturation was defined as "internal adjustment, a selective adaptation of value systems, the processes of integration and differentiation, the generation of development sequences, and the operation of role determinants and personality factors" (Social Science Research Council, 1954, p.974).…”

“…In 1967, Graves first brought up the concept of psychological acculturation (Berry, 1997). Psychological acculturation refers to the internal process and the psychological changes resulting from individuals' acculturation processes (Berry, 1997;Padilla & Perez, 2003). Psychological acculturation may happen in six areas: language, cognitive style, personality, identity, attitudes, and acculturative stress (Berry, 1980).…”

“…This is because in an assimilationist society, there is pressure for the newcomers to conform to the mainstream culture. Individuals will be less motivated to attempt acculturation if their groups are discriminated against by the dominant society (Padilla & Perez, 2003).…”

“…Researchers have also investigated perceived discrimination and adjustment among Chinese immigrant families and adolescents (Benner & Kim, 2009;Chan, Tran, & Nguyen, 2012). Perceived discrimination would severely obstruct individuals' acculturation process and increase their stress levels (Padilla & Perez, 2003).…”

Chinese students are the biggest ethnic group of international students in the United States. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid scale to accurately measure their acculturative stress. A 72-item pool was sent online to Chinese students and a five-factor scale of 32 items was generated by exploratory factor analysis. The five factors included language insufficiency, social isolation, perceived discrimination, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. The Acculturative Stress Scale for Chinese Students demonstrated high reliability and initial validity by predicting depression and life satisfaction. It was the first Chinese scale of acculturative stress developed and validated among a Chinese student sample in the United States. In the future, the scale can be used as a diagnostic tool by mental health professionals and a self-assessment tool by Chinese students.

“…The term 'acculturation' has been used in the literature to describe both the cultural and psychological changes that occur when two cultures come into contact with each other (14) . While a number of acculturation domains have been identified in the literature (see Flannery et al (15) and Padilla and Perez (16) ), they fall under two models of acculturation: the linear acculturation model and the bi-dimensional acculturation model. The discussion of these models is beyond the score of the present paper.…”

Objective: To investigate the differences in acculturation experiences between parent and adolescent refugees from the Horn of Africa in Melbourne, Australia and to explore food beliefs and perceived health risks from an intergenerational perspective. Design: Qualitative cross-sectional study involving a combination of semi-structured one-on-one interviews and focus group discussions. Setting: North-West suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Subjects: Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali and Sudanese refugees. Results: Using a purposeful sampling technique, twelve semi-structured face-to-face interviews (nine adults and three adolescents) and four in-depth focus groups (two with adolescents each containing six participants and two with adults one containing six participants and the other ten participants) were carried out. Thus overall data were obtained on fifteen adolescents and twenty-five parents. Qualitative analysis identified differences between parents and adolescents in relation to lifestyle, diet and physical activity. Views regarding health consequences of their changed diets also differed. Parental feeding practices encompassed a variety of methods and were enforced in an attempt by parents to control their children's dietary behaviours and prevent their drift away from traditional eating habits. Conclusions: These findings call for more research to contextualise dietary acculturation among refugee youth and the impact of migration on parenting styles and feeding practices in communities from the Horn of Africa. Preventive health programmes with Horn of Africa refugees need to acknowledge the effect of acculturation on diet and physical activity levels and a socio-cultural framework needs to be developed with respect to the importance and influence of the family environment.

Reclaiming Culture: Reculturation of Transracial and International Adoptees

The cultural experiences of transracial and international adoptees (TRIAs) are uniquely affected by their adoption across cultures and racial/ethnic groups. Upon adoption, TRIAs typically identify quickly with their adoptive parents' White culture but may eventually seek to reclaim their birth culture. Current terminology used to describe cultural identifications and changes (e.g., acculturation, enculturation) does not adequately depict the reclamation of birth culture by TRIAs. The authors describe a new term for this process called reculturation.
