“…A related construct, enculturation , refers to the process by which individuals learn the requirements of their heritage group and acquire the values and behaviors that are appropriate or necessary for their particular cultural group (Grusec & Hastings, 2007). Some investigators (e.g., Cokley & Helm, 2007) prefer the construct of enculturation when referring to nonimmigrant African Americans to emphasize the explicit socialization into their cultural group (Iwamasa, Regan, Subica, & Yamada, 2013). Researchers have examined dimensions of African American acculturation that relate to traditional practices, beliefs, and values regarding religious beliefs, food preferences, and socialization practices, as well as media preferences (Landrine & Klonoff, 1996; Obasi & Leong, 2009; Reid, Brown, Andrew Peterson, Snowden, & Hines, 2009).…”
