Acculturation orientations of French and North African undergraduates in Paris

Acculturation, well-being and classroom behaviour among white British and British Asian primary-school children in the south–east of England: Validating a child-friendly measure of acculturation attitudes

“…Barrette, Bourhis, Personnaz, and Personnaz (2004) show that majority and minority members favouring 'integrationist' or 'individualist' positions displayed less ingroup bias and more favourable intergroup attitudes than 'separationist' or 'marginalised' individuals, but do not analyse unique combinations of majority and minority attitudes as suggested by Bourhis et al (1997). Moreover, the investigation covered only a single domain of acculturation, namely intra-or inter-ethnic marriage.…”

Identity and acculturation: interethnic relations in the Basque Autonomous Community

Conversely, less highly regarded groups are more associated with negative stereotypes, being designated as rival groups with regard to social resources such as employment or housing and being considered a burden on social services, a cause of insecurity, or a threat to the survival of the host society's culture (Barrette et al 2004;Bourhis and Dayan 2004;Bourhis 2001, 2004;Safdar et al 2008).…”

Collective memories of colonialism and acculturation dynamics among Congolese immigrants living in Belgium

“…Indeed, previous studies by Bourhis and colleagues (e.g. Barrette, Bourhis, Personnaz, & Personnaz, 2004;Bourhis, Barrette, El-Geledi, & Smith, 2009;Bourhis & Dayan, 2004;among others) have shown that younger participants (mainly undergraduate students) from majority as well as minority groups, besides adhering strongly to integrationism, also preferred an individualistic acculturation strategy, highlighting the specific characteristics of individuals, rather than group-based characteristics. The fact that, as age increases, there was a higher tendency to adopt aspects of Belgian culture, while maintaining aspects of Congolese culture, may also relate indirectly with a more individualistic acculturation orientation among younger generations.…”
