“…People often hold on to their ethnic group identity although their culture becomes intermingled with others. Consequently, acculturation as the process of acquiring new cultural skills does not have to imply a change of group membership and self-definition (Liebkind, 2001). Contact between ethnic groups almost always leads to an exchange of cultural characteristics and mutual adjustments, but at the same time it often results in enhanced ethnic consciousness and stronger group differentiation.…”

“…Thus, attitudes towards acculturation may not be consistent with actual behaviour and identity may not necessarily follow the same acculturation pattern as attitudes. However, the basic hierarchy between identity elements changes more slowly (Liebkind, 1992;2001).…”

“…In an attempt to promote theorizing of ethnic identity in acculturation, Liebkind (2001) has emphasized that ethnic minority members may take a variety of positions in the face of devaluation of their group, depending on the nature of the identity threat, the specific component of identity being threatened, and the level of identification with the devalued group. Thus, according to Liebkind (2001), research on acculturation should distinguish between at least the following aspects of ethnic/cultural/social identity:…”

“…In a number of studies within the socio-cognitive perspective, ethnic identity is treated as being similar to any other social identity and defined simply as the ethnic component of social identity (Liebkind, 2001). Social identity theory (SIT, Tajfel, 1981) holds that people's self-image has two components: personal identity and social identity.…”

When in Rome… Identification and acculturation strategies among minority members moderate the dehumanisation of the majority outgroup

The study of humanness as a dimension of social judgment has received extensive attention over the past decade. Although the common reported finding is that people attribute more human characteristics to their ingroup than to the outgroup, similar tendencies are expected to be tempered for minority groups when judging the host society. In Study 1, carried out with Gypsy minority members, we tested the hypothesis that those group members who adopt an assimilative strategy identifying more with the host compared with the heritage culture will display the lowest levels of dehumanisation. In Studies 2 and 3, conducted with immigrants in Italy and in Portugal, respectively, the hypothesis was extended from an identification conceptualisation to an acculturation one. Despite significant variability in intergroup settings and measures, results confirmed our hypothesis that immigrants who choose to assimilate with the host culture dehumanise the outgroup less compared with those who adopt any of the other acculturation strategies. Implications for the ethnocentric nature of dehumanisation biases and for intergroup relations in general are discussed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Antecedents and consequences of acculturation preferences of non‐indigenous Chileans in relation to an indigenous minority: longitudinal survey evidence

Two longitudinal survey studies were conducted with non-indigenous majority Chilean participants (Ns ¼ 755 crosssectional, 198 longitudinal in study 1; 390 cross-sectional, 333 longitudinal in study 2). In contrast to most previous research, the longitudinal design allowed to test directly the hypothesised causal direction of effects. There were two broad research questions. Firstly, what is the relationship between acculturation preferences of non-indigenous majority members and negative affect towards the indigenous Mapuche? More specifically, does a preference for integration lead to less negative affect than a preference for assimilation, separation or marginalisation? Related to this, do the dimensions of culture maintenance and contact taken singly predict negative affect and/or vice versa? Secondly, does knowledge about the Mapuche causally and indirectly influence acculturation preferences, partially mediated by sympathy with the Mapuche? Results confirmed that knowledge influenced acculturation preferences, and that sympathy was a partial mediator. Acculturation preferences, in turn, influenced negative affect. The contact dimension underlying the categorical acculturation strategies was a predictor of outcomes, while the culture maintenance dimension was not. Implications of the findings are discussed. Copyright # 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.The question which role ethnic minorities should have within a broader society often causes fierce debate and conflict. In fact, few political issues seem to be as contested as the question which liberties ethnic minority groups should be granted, how much their rights of celebrating their difference from mainstream society should be restricted and-more broadlyhow the relations between minority and majority groups should be defined. Of course, these questions are not only applicable to new ethnic minorities-i.e. relatively recent immigrant groups-but also to indigenous peoples, who historically were once (but in many cases are no longer) in the majority in a given territory. This paper investigates majority members' attitudes towards one such indigenous minority group: It explores the attitudes of non-indigenous majority Chileans towards the indigenous Mapuche (see e.g. Cornejo & Morales, 1999). 1 The goal of the present work was to find causal antecedents and consequences of acculturation preferences of non-indigenous Chileans in relation to the indigenous Mapuche. Expressed broadly, we were interested in how non-indigenous Chileans conceive of the Mapuche within larger society: Under which conditions are they interested in protecting the indigenous culture, and when are they more in favour of an assimilationist model? Consequences of different acculturation preferences were also examined.European Journal of Social Psychology Eur. J. Soc. Psychol. 39, 558-575 (2009) In this case, majority status is defined by both group size and power; these two features coincide for the groups investigated by the present research. By non-indigenous Chileans, we mean t...
