“…According to Fugita and O'Brien (1985), acculturation means accepting mainstream and social integration by changing behaviors, values, and attitudes. Bojanic and Xu (2006) stated that acculturation is a process through which individuals adjust when they move to another country for career opportunities, education, or marriage. Thus, it is the process foreign-born individuals go through in adopting the mainstream values, customs, norms, attitudes, and behaviors of a culture (Gordon, 1964).…”

“…Bojanic and Xu (2006) examined the eating patterns of Chinese, who have a distinctive culinary culture, living in the United States and the association between their acculturation level and dining out. Living in the United States requires them to adjust their eating habits to a different lifestyle, culture, and food sources (Bojanic and Xu, 2006). The study grouped Chinese respondents into three different clusters based on assimilation level.…”

“…Acculturation was measured by each respondent's ability to speak Korean, existence of Korean friends, involvement in social activities, self-identity, and utilization and preference for Korean mass media. These items came from the existing acculturation literature (Bojanic and Xu, 2006;Jun and Park, 2000;Jang et al, 2006;Kim and Sim, 2001;Laroche et al, 1996Laroche et al, , 1997Lee, 2001;Suinn et al, 1987). For uncertainty avoidance, measurement items were adopted from Jung and Kellaris (2004), not from Hofstede (1980), although it is more widely known and has been adopted by many studies in the past.…”

“…However, it has been observed that immigrants vary in their acculturation into American ways. In the area of consumer behavior, some studies have investigated the relationship between acculturation and dining-out behavior (Lee et al 1999;Quester et al 2001;Bojanic & Xu 2006;Ayala et al 2008).

et al. 2009

This exploratory study aimed to determine the role of acculturation on the dining‐out behavior of Koreans living in the United States. Ethnic minorities are increasing in numbers and they represent a potentially lucrative market for the foodservice industry. To target this clientele, it is essential to determine their purchasing behaviors and the factors that influence their behavior in order to design suitable marketing strategies. The results of this study showed that scores on the acculturation scale correlated with the dining‐out behavior of Koreans. Level of acculturation was related to length of stay in the United States, age, visa status and presence of children in the household which in turn influenced the dining‐out behavior of Koreans. With the increasing cultural diversity of consumers, future studies investigating the relationship between acculturation and consumer behavior will continue to garner attention.

This study aimed to profile Chinese wine tourists based on their perceived wine tourism constraints and develop a better understanding of the Chinese wine tourist market by comparing Chinese Australians with long-haul Chinese tourists in Australia.A series of items measuring wine tourism constraints and negotiations were subjected to factor and cluster analyses. Four wine tourism constraint factors and three negotiation factors were identified. Based on the constraint factors, four segments, "group constrained by personal inhibitors," "group constrained by facilities and attractions," "less constrained group," and "highly constrained group," were identified. Analysis of variance and Chi-square test results indicated that the four groups of Chinese migrants in Australia mainly varied by age, whereas long-haul Chinese tourists differed more significantly in education and income. Chinese Australians were more likely to be less constrained and to be involved in wine tourism activities than long-haul Chinese tourists. The former were also more likely to be self-driving and repeat wine tourists. Comparatively, the latter group members engaged more in negotiation strategies.
