“…According to Social Identity Theory, feelings of belonging and commitment to a social group derive from one’s self-categorization as one of its members (Tajfel & Turner, 1986). Traditional acculturation research on migrants and immigrant youth stresses that their identification with the heritage culture is associated with feelings of belonging and commitment toward the heritage culture (Ferenczi & Marshall, 2013; Phinney, Berry, Vedder, & Liebkind, 2006). In contrast, assimilated multiculturalists have been found to lack a strong feeling of belonging toward any given cultural context (Bennett, 1993; Moore & Barker, 2012).…”

“…Notably, high national cultural maintenance was associated with higher national group commitment, which could indicate locals' stronger attachment to their own cultural group. Relatedly, identification with one's national culture is positively associated with secure-preoccupied nation attachment (i.e., a desire to establish emotional and dependent links and to merge with one's nation ;Ferenczi & Marshall, 2013). Future research could investigate whether nation attachment mediates the association of national culture maintenance with national group commitment.…”

Across two studies we tested whether members of host communities (i.e., locals) can themselves simultaneously maintain their national culture maintenance and adapt towards cultural diversity (i.e., multiculturalism) in their own home country, supporting a bidimensional model of acculturation, or whether these strategies are incompatible, supporting a unidimensional model of acculturation. We modified the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (Multi-VIA) to assess locals' national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation within their own home country. Study 1 supported the bidimensionality of the Multi-VIA in an American sample (N = 218). Moreover, we found an oblique association between locals' national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation. In Study 2, we tested the Multi-VIA's psychometric properties across three continent groups (North America, Europe, and Asia; N = 619). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good model fit for the entire sample. Nevertheless, the association between national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation was orthogonal for Asians and oblique for Americans and Europeans. Additionally, national culture maintenance predicted higher levels of locals' life satisfaction, whereas multicultural adaptation was associated with less acculturative stress and greater intercultural sensitivity.

“…In relationship-threatening situations, avoidant individuals are likely to engage in deactivating strategies such as defensive distancing and suppression of attachment-related cues, thus preventing frustration and pain ( Bartholomew, 1990 ; Fraley & Shaver, 1998 ; Shaver & Mikulincer, 2002 ). Avoidant attachment has also been associated with decreased identification with one’s heritage culture ( Ferenczi & Marshall, 2013 ), implying a greater susceptibility for intragroup marginalization due to not conforming to the heritage culture identity. Similar to anxious individuals, then, avoidant individuals’ sensitivity to rejection may translate into heightened experiences of intragroup marginalization, but the difference may lie in their behavioural response.…”

Do insecurely attached individuals perceive greater rejection from their heritage culture? Few studies have examined the antecedents and outcomes of this perceived rejection – termed intragroup marginalization – in spite of its implications for the adjustment of cultural migrants to the mainstream culture. This study investigated whether anxious and avoidant attachment orientations among cultural migrants were associated with greater intragroup marginalization and, in turn, with lower subjective well-being and flourishing and higher acculturative stress. Anxious attachment was associated with heightened intragroup marginalization from friends and, in turn, with increased acculturative stress; anxious attachment was also associated with increased intragroup marginalization from family. Avoidant attachment was linked with increased intragroup marginalization from family and, in turn, with decreased subjective well-being.

“…The relational self, such as the name of someone close to the subject ( Chen et al, 2011 , 2013 ; Tacikowski et al, 2014 ; Wuyun et al, 2014 ) could activate memory and emotional processing. Information that represents the collective self, such as one’s hometown ( Chen et al, 2011 ), nation ( Zhao et al, 2012 ; Ferenczi and Marshall, 2013 ), or national flag ( Fan et al, 2011 ) can also induce an emotional experience. Wang et al’s (2017) priming paradigm proposes the necessity to compare and categorize the information related to oneself and different self-identities.…”

Self-Hierarchy in Perceptual Matching: Variations in Different Processing Stages

et al. 2022

People have three cognitive representations of the self, namely, the individual, relational, and collective selves (CS), which are indispensable components of selfhood but not necessarily given equal preference. Previous studies found that people displayed varied self-hierarchy in miscellaneous tasks involving different research materials that had pre-existing learned associations established over long periods of time. Therefore, this study tries to explore a purer self-hierarchy without the influence of research materials, using perceptual matching tasks. The behavioral and event-related potentials’ (ERPs) findings showed that people recognized information association with their individual self (IS) faster compared with their relational (RS) and CS. Smaller N2, stronger P3 and late positive complex (LPC) amplitudes were evoked during IS compared with RS and CS. However, the three selves evoked equal P2 amplitudes at the early processing stage. Moreover, CS showed a weaker advantage than RS, demonstrating a longer reaction time, lower d prime, and weaker P3 and LPC amplitudes in the parietal region. Overall, self-hierarchy during simple perceptual processing manifested as IS > RS > CS at the late processing stage but manifested as IS = RS = CS at the early processing stage. Self-hierarchy varies according to the processing stage, even without meaningful information and during the simple perception processing. This result provides direct evidence that all selves can be tagged with neutral actions, which would fit the idea of an organism attuned to self-survival at multiple processing levels.
