(Taylor, 1997;2002) sont mis à l'épreuve dans le but d'examiner les réponses au désavantage social des adolescents d'origine acadienne. En tout, 36 adolescents acadiens du sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick ont participé à une entrevue semi-dirigée. Selon les résultats, les participants portent un fardeau d'infériorité par rapport aux francophones du Québec. Différents discours sont entretenus concernant les anglophones et engendrent six profils identitaires différents. Les résultats confirment la diversité de l'influence des exogroupes majoritaires sur le cheminement identitaire collectif des jeunes Acadiens. De plus, l'analyse révèle que les jeunes issus du profil nommé bilingue à orientation anglophone éprouvent des difficultés quant à leur bien-être psychologique.Mots clés : profils identitaires collectifs, bien-être psychologique, adolescents d'origine acadienne.
AbstractAcadians from the South-East region of New Brunswick are confronted with assimilation pressures from Anglophones 212 Revue de l'Université de Moncton, vol. 41, n o 1, 2010 and the demands of a French standard. The rejectionidentification model (Branscombe, Schmitt, and Harvey, 1999) and the self concept model (Taylor, 1997(Taylor, , 2002 are tested in order to examine how adolescents of Acadian heritage respond to social disadvantage. Overall, 36 Acadian adolescents from the South-East region of New Brunswick participated in a semi-structured interview. Participants expressed a burden of inferiority next to Francophones from Québec. Different views were expressed concerning attitudes towards Anglophones that resulted in six identity profiles.Results supported the influence of majority out-groups on the collective identity trajectory of Acadian youth. In addition, the analysis revealed that youth who have reported a bilingual with an English orientation profile were more likely to experience difficulties with their psychological wellbeing.
