“…However, these measures might not be sufficient to completely discard this explanation. Finally, Ward and Kus (2012) argued that the integration orientation was chosen more frequently when acculturation was framed in attitudinal rather than in behavioural terms. It was the case in this study, as acculturation preferences were framed as "ideal cultural orientations".…”

“…Two important limitations of this study should be addressed. First of all, even if assessment through single items has been previously used within the acculturation literature (Piontkowski, Florack, Hoelker & Obdrzálek, 2000;Snauwaert, Soenens, Vanbeselaere, & Boen 2003;Ward & Kus, 2012), multi-items have obviously greater content validity and are more robust. This option was chosen because of the constraints of the fieldwork.…”

Despite the current societal emergency, little is known about the acculturation processes undergone by Syrian and Iraqi asylum seekers. The present paper investigates their early-stage acculturation preferences in relation to their perception of majority members' acculturation expectations and to their settlement intentions. 103 Syrian and Iraqi male asylum seekers were recruited during the peak of the 2015 "refugee crisis" in a provisional reception centre and completed a brief questionnaire. Results showed that asylum seekers reported a high willingness to participate in the host society and to adopt the host culture, while maintaining their culture of origin. Moreover, as predicted, asylum seekers' settlement intentions and their perceptions of majority members' acculturation expectations were key predictors of their own acculturation preferences. Implications for integration policies are discussed.

“…A plethora of research has focused on the examination of the interconnection between immigrants' acculturation modes and their adaptation [13,14]. Less is known, however, about how the acculturation modes relate to immigrants' product consumption behaviors and ethnocentrism.…”

The Role of Religion and Acculturation in the Consumer Ethnocentrism of Turkish Immigrants in Germany

2016

Abstract:Researchers have invested much effort in the understanding of acculturation-relevant factors that influence immigrants' psychological and socio-cultural adaptation. Factors that might have an impact on immigrants' product consumption decisions have comparatively received scarce attention by acculturation and marketing researchers. Immigrants show different product consumption patterns and therefore constitute big consumer groups that can have an impact on both the economy of immigrants' culture of origin and the host society. The present study investigated Turkish immigrants' product consumption ethnocentrism. The sample consisted of 599 youth and adult Turkish in Germany drawn from Cologne, the city with the highest ratio of Turkish people in the country. The study sample represented a very similar demographic make-up of the Turkish people in Cologne. The associations between acculturation strategies, loyalty to religion, and product consumption ethnocentrism were quantitatively analyzed based on a field survey. Research findings indicated that participants in the acculturation mode of separation scored significantly higher for consumer ethnocentrism than those showing other orientations, and those with an assimilation orientation scored the least for consumer ethnocentrism. Among the three religiosity dimensions (behavioral, emotional, cognitive) investigated in the present study, analyses controlling for a range of socio-demographic variables revealed a positive relationship between the behavior dimension of religiosity and consumer ethnocentrism.

“…Those authors start from the obvious axiom that attitudes are not behaviors (Boski, 2008 ;Ward & Kus, 2012 ). While attitudes toward multiculturalism may well have some predictive power over behaviors, those actions remain stubbornly multideterminate.…”

“…Since they couldn't actually follow the respondents around, as did Brunswik, the method of choice was to use a diary covering all the interactions in a particular day. This method is certainly closer to accessing actual behavior as compared to gathering preferences among a restricted set of strategies (Arends-Toth & Vijer, 2004 ;Boski, 2008 ;Ward & Kus, 2012 ). Such a shift to behavior from preferences is certainly to be desired.…”

Warnick and Landis provide an overview of the major models of intercultural relations to serve as a foundation for the subsequent chapters in this text. The reader will gain a greater understanding of how the emerging fi eld of cultural neuroscience can be applied to intercultural relations. Additionally, this chapter offers a brief guide to the book.Each year, millions of people travel into nations and cultures that bear signifi cant differences from their home milieus. The United Nations (Nations, 2013 ) estimates that in 2013 there were upwards of 232 million people living outside of their home cultures. Not surprising, the developed countries of Europe and North America receive the majority of immigrants, while Africa, Asia, and South America send the majority north. The 232 (3.2 million were tertiary students studying abroad (OECD, 2010 )) fi gure includes not only refugees and immigrants seeking economic or political safety but also people traveling for more less short-term stays (e.g., managers of enterprises). For all of them, the experience can be exciting or terrifying or merely slightly exciting as opposed to slightly bothersome. For some, the new country becomes their permanent home; for others it is but a temporary way station in their life's journeys. Some never adjust to the new environment, huddling with peers from the same home country and rarely venturing out into the uncomfortable world (Kidder, 1977 ).The purpose of this book is to hopefully bring together two research domains, which have heretofore remained distinct: intercultural relations and brain science. Intercultural relations has a rich history stretching back over more than half a century to at least the action research studies of Kurt Lewin (Lewin, 1946 (Benedict, 1934 ;Boas, 1911 ;Kluckholn & Strodtbeck, 1961 ).1 And, we are sure that even the ancient Greeks had something to say about the effect of moving into a new culture.The study of brain functioning has a rich history that can be traced back to ancient Egypt. Papyrus scrolls dating to approximately 3000-2500 BCE describe the earliest known attempt to understand how injury to specifi c brain regions produce certain behavioral profi les (Feldman & Goodrich, 1999 ). This case study approach to understanding human brain functioning was the primary research method until the 1930s when electrical stimulation of the brain in conscious humans was tested (Penfi eld, 1958 ). Similar methods, while rare, are still conducted to this day and even led to advancements in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., depression; (Mayberg et al., 2005 )).The contemporary study of brain functioning began with the advent of the positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These technologies allowed for the ability to see the movement of glucose and oxygen, respectively, and thus watch the metabolic activity in real time while the subjects were completing various tasks. The development of these technologies was followed by an explosion of neuro...
