“…A similar pattern of results emerged for psychological well-being: participants who indicated an unvalidated border identity scored lower on the psychological well-being measure than those who indicated a validated border or protean identity. These findings are consistent with empirical and theoretical work on the association between integration of multiple social identities within the self and positive outcomes on well-being (Amiot & de la Sablonnière, 2010;Cheng et al, 2008;Yampolsky, Amiot, & de la Sablonnière, 2014). Contrary to our predictions, level of self-concept clarity, or the degree to which one's identity was organized and consistent across time and situations, was similar across the four identity groups.…”

“…High identity integration (Cheng et al, 2008) and high self-concept clarity (Campbell et al, 1996) have also been associated with positive effects on well-being (Ryff & Keyes, 1995;. Models of social identity change and integration have proposed that when multiple social identities within the self are integrated, the results include a coherent view of self and benefits for psychological well-being (Amiot & de la Sablonnière, 2010;Yampolsky et al, 2013). Thus, the relationships between these variables (i.e., racial group identification, perceived discrimination, and well-being) and racial identity selection were also investigated.…”

“…These individuals identify with a superordinate identity, considering themselves to be simply "human" or a "world citizen" (Amiot & de la Sablonnière, 2010). Shih, Bonam, Sanchez, and Peck (2007) noted that compared to people of monoracial descent, multiracial people are more likely to challenge the validity of race itself, viewing race as a social construction.…”

“…Even while sustaining identification with their culture of origin, most immigrants to Canada quickly develop a new national identity (Amiot & de la Sablonniere, 2010;Grant, 2007). Potentially then, these two identities could both influence involvement in protest actions, but in opposite ways.…”

“…Individuals who migrate as adults are permanently relocating to a new and very different cultural environment and often, in the process, become bicultural as they develop a new national identity while maintaining a strong cultural identity (Amiot & de la Sablonniere, 2010;Brown & Zagefka, 2011;Deaux, 2006;Grant, 2007;Verkuyten & Martinovic, 2012). This is one of the important reasons why people choose to immigrate to Canada: Their desire is for full social inclusion into Canada's multicultural society where they can maintain their cultural heritage in this democratic, multicultural country.…”

Predicting Protests by Disadvantaged Skilled Immigrants: A Test of an Integrated Social Identity, Relative Deprivation, Collective Efficacy (SIRDE) Model

et al. 2014

In Canada, skilled immigrants with foreign credentials tend to experience difficulty in obtaining a suitable job in their chosen profession. This is because employers do not recognize the full value of such qualifications. We used structural equation modeling to test a social identity, relative deprivation, collective efficacy model in a prospective study of a sample of skilled immigrants (N = 234) disadvantaged by this ''credentialing'' problem. In this model, variables measured at time 1 successfully predicted participation in protest actions during the following 4 months, measured at time 2. First, we conceptualized the affective component of collective relative deprivation (CRD) as (i) the perception of discrimination by the majority group and (ii) the emotional reaction of anger, resentment and frustration in response to that discrimination. The results suggested that the latter positively influenced participation in protest actions but, unexpectedly, the former had the opposite effect. Second, the evidence suggested that respondents' identification with Canada, but not their cultural group, indirectly influenced such participation through collective efficacy and the two components of affective CRD. Third, the novel hypothesis that status insecurity mediates the relationship between cognitive CRD and the two components of affective CRD was supported. Finally, the results suggest that collective efficacy was a strong and direct determinant of participation in protest actions. The implications of these results for the development of an integrated social psychological theory that can predict participation in political protests are discussed.

This release of the latest data from the longitudinal survey focuses on the number of jobs held, job duration, labor force participation, and earnings growth. Highlights from the survey include:  Individuals born from 1957 to 1964 held an average of 12.3 jobs from ages 18 to 52. These baby boomers held an average of 5.7 jobs while ages 18 to 24. The average fell to 4.5 jobs from ages 25 to 34, to 2.9 jobs from ages 35 to 44, and to 1.9 jobs from ages 45 to 52. Jobs that span more than one age group were counted once in each age group, so the overall average number of jobs held from ages 18 to 52 is less than the sum of the number of jobs across the individual age groups. (See table 1.)  Although job duration tended to be longer the older a worker was when starting the job, these baby boomers continued to have large numbers of short-duration jobs. Among jobs started by 35 to 44 year olds, 36 percent ended in less than a year, and 75 percent ended in fewer than 5 years. (See table 2.)  On average, individuals were employed during 78 percent of the weeks from ages 18 to 52. Generally, men spent a larger percent of weeks employed than did women (84 percent versus 72 percent). Women spent much more time out of the labor force (24 percent of weeks) than did men (11 percent of weeks). (See table 3.)  The average annual percent growth in inflation-adjusted hourly earnings was highest during a worker's late teens and early twenties. Growth rates in earnings generally were higher for workers with a bachelor's degree or higher than for workers with less education. (See table 5.)-2-Number of Jobs Held Individuals held an average of 12.3 jobs from ages 18 to 52, with nearly half of these jobs held before age 25. In this news release, a job is defined as an uninterrupted period of work with a particular employer. (See the Technical Note for additional information on the definition of a job.) On average, men held 12.5 jobs and women held 12.1 jobs from ages 18 to 52. Men held 5.9 jobs from ages 18 to 24, compared with 1.9 jobs from ages 45 to 52. The reduction in the average number of jobs held in successive age groups was similar for women. (See table 1.) Chart 1 shows the cumulative number of jobs held from ages 18 to 52, by sex and age. The decline in the slope of these curves indicates a decrease in the rate at which workers change jobs as they age. On average, men without a high school diploma held 13.3 jobs from ages 18 to 52, while men with a bachelor's degree and higher held 11.6 jobs between these ages. In contrast, women without a high school diploma held 9.9 jobs from ages 18 to 52, while women with a bachelor's degree and higher held 13.1 jobs between these ages.
