“…Experiences of discrimination (Gee, 2002), ethnic identity (Umana-Taylor & Shin, 2007), and psychological wellbeing (Markus, Plaut, & Lachman, 2004) vary according to geographic location. Four regions were included as a control variable, Northeast (n ϭ 152), Midwest (n ϭ 91), West (n ϭ 1707), and South (n ϭ 145).…”

The association between racial and ethnic discrimination and psychological distress was examined among 2,047 Asians (18 to 75 years of age) in the National Latino and Asian American Study, the first-ever nationally representative study of mental health among Asians living in the United States. Stratifying the sample by age in years (i.e., 18 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, 51 to 75) and nativity status (i.e., immigrant vs. U.S.-born), ethnic identity was tested as either a protective or exacerbating factor. Analyses showed that ethnic identity buffered the association between discrimination and mental health for U.S.-born individuals 41 to 50 years of age. For U.S.-born individuals 31 to 40 years of age and 51 to 75 years of age, ethnic identity exacerbated the negative effects of discrimination on mental health. The importance of age and immigrant status for the association between ethnic identity, discrimination, and well-being among Asians in the United States is discussed.

“…Comme source externe d'influence, le contact avec la diversité culturelle confirme l'hypothèse de départ du lien avec l'estime de soi (Chin 1993;Fein et Spencer, 1997;Umaña-Taylor et Shin, 2007). Ces interactions ont un impact sur l'ouverture à la diversité, tout comme souligné par différents chercheurs (Page-Gould, Mendes et Major, 2010;Page-Gould, Mendoza-Denton et al, 2010;Pettigrew et Tropp, 2000;et Thurner et Crisp, 2010;Van Dick et al, 2004) ou sur les attitudes face aux différentes cultures (Lee et al, 2007;Shelton et Richeson, 2006).…”

Mots clés : représentation, valeurs (personnelles, sociales et collectives, morales et éthiques), contact avec la diversité culturelle, estime de soi, bonne école, étudiants-maîtres. AbstractThe present study is based on a series of assumptions that describe the relationships that exist between the contact with the cultural diversity linked to self-esteem and the categories of values (personal, social and collective, moral and ethical) to the representation of a good school. Data collected for this study were obtained using a questionnaire exploring these various constructs. Findings include some direct effects and a few indirect effects. The contact with cultural diversity and self-esteem influence values. Moreover, these values affect 172 Revue de l'Université de Moncton, vol. 41, n o 1, 2010 the representation of a good school. These results ultimately confirm all initial assumptions.

India and created the life they dreamed. I want to thank them for deeply instilling a scientific mindset within me that has brought me to explore the nature of my identity.They continue to show me that anything is possible with diligent effort, an ideal captured in the Sanskrit term "Bhakti," meaning a deep devotion and love that drives action.This work is also dedicated to my loving wife, Heema, who has seen me through all phases of this project. Our joint self-reflections on cultural identity often reminded me that I am not alone in the challenges of being bi-cultural. Her scientific mind alwaysmanages to see what I may have glanced over ... and she is not afraid to tell me so.Thank you. ALLOCENTRISM AND ETHNIC IDENTITY AbstractThe family has been viewed as a unique social unit in that it is usually the most salient in group (Lay, Fairlie, Jackson, Ricci, Eisenberg, Sato, Teeaar, & Melamud, 1998). We often learn about ourselves in relation to others in the world through interactions with family members. Many of the identities and corresponding role expectations we learn to adopt directly relate to the position we occupy in our family. Oftentimes, it is the family that serves to orient an individual to his or her ethnic identity. This study explored one's collectivistic identity in the context of family (familial allocentrism) as a predictive variable for the degree of Indian identity salience among Asian Indians in the UnitedStates. The main hypothesis posited that individuals who view themselves as interdependent or as collectively part of their family will report higher levels of Indian identity salience than those who feel more independent. Other variables that were examined included years spent in the United States and age at migration (for immigrants), as well as differences between first-and second-generation Indians. It was hypothesized that immigrants who arrived at an earlier age or had spent more years in the United States would display relatively lower collectivistic tendencies and lower Indian identity salience than those arriving later in life or spending fewer years in the United States. Lastly, it was hypothesized that second-generation Indians would be less collectively inclined and experience less Indian identity salience than their first-generation counterparts. Overall, results indicated that familial allocentrism was predictive of Indian identity salience.Limitations and implications are discussed.
