“…The GEQ uses a 5-point Likert Scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree). Good psychometric properties of the GEQ have been well documented (Huynh, Howell & Benet-Martinez, 2009;Tsai, Ying & Lee, 2000). The current study found the GEQ to have good internal consistency (α = .83).…”

“…Mainstream cultural orientation (VIA-M) was operationalized as scores on the VIA-FC subscale for participants attending a French-speaking university and as scores on the VIA-EC subscale for participants attending an English-speaking university. Past research has shown that the VIA is a valid and reliable cultural orientation questionnaire (Huynh, Howell, & Benet-Martínez, 2009;Ryder et al, 2000). Internal consistency in this sample was acceptable for both mainstream (Cronbach's αT1 = .77 for VIA-FC and αT1 = .76 for VIA-EC) and heritage (Cronbach's αT1 = .91) subscales.…”

This work adopts a perspective that construes acculturation as a dynamic intergroup process and social contact with members of the new community as a key mechanism underlying cultural adaptation. We argue that migrants' initial self-reported mainstream cultural orientation constitutes an important antecedent of early social participation in the new community. Results from two longitudinal studies of newly arrived international students (N=98 and N=60) show that more positive initial mainstream cultural orientations prospectively predict higher social participation specifically in the mainstream group over the following months. This relation held after controlling for important alternative predictors, namely extraversion/shyness, mainstream language proficiency, and respiratory sinus arrhythmia, a physiological index of social engagement capacity. These studies focus on the very initial stages of the temporal dynamics of acculturation, contribute to bridging research on acculturation and on intergroup relations, and establish a link between cultural orientations, a subjective attitudinal construct, and concrete social engagement behaviors.

“…Research on migrants' acculturation has shown consistent support for a bidimensional model across different mainstream and heritage cultures (Huynh, Howell, & Benet-Martínez, 2009). We therefore expected that the bidimensional structure of Locals' Bidimensional Acculturation Model would not vary across different contexts (UK, Germany, USA, China, and India; Hypothesis 1).…”

Across two studies we tested whether members of host communities (i.e., locals) can themselves simultaneously maintain their national culture maintenance and adapt towards cultural diversity (i.e., multiculturalism) in their own home country, supporting a bidimensional model of acculturation, or whether these strategies are incompatible, supporting a unidimensional model of acculturation. We modified the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (Multi-VIA) to assess locals' national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation within their own home country. Study 1 supported the bidimensionality of the Multi-VIA in an American sample (N = 218). Moreover, we found an oblique association between locals' national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation. In Study 2, we tested the Multi-VIA's psychometric properties across three continent groups (North America, Europe, and Asia; N = 619). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good model fit for the entire sample. Nevertheless, the association between national culture maintenance and multicultural adaptation was orthogonal for Asians and oblique for Americans and Europeans. Additionally, national culture maintenance predicted higher levels of locals' life satisfaction, whereas multicultural adaptation was associated with less acculturative stress and greater intercultural sensitivity.
