Remote Acculturation

Abstract: Globalization has accelerated the exposure of nonmigrants to remote cultures in which they have never lived, producing remote acculturation (RA). The health implications of RA may reach further than those of immigrant acculturation because nonmigrants constitute the majority of the world’s population. This chapter describes the conceptualization of RA, reviews the body of empirical research on RA, discusses measurement of RA, and explores the health implications of RA. The review suggests that RA to faraway cu… Show more

“…Therefore, future studies with larger samples can replicate and extend these findings, especially probing potential interaction effects that may be stronger for one partner than the other. Also, findings apply to urban Jamaican youth and mothers, given that remote acculturation is largely an urban phenomenon related to globalization in urban settings (Ferguson et al, 2017). Findings may differ among out-of-school adolescents and for fathers-adolescent dyads, both of whom have been under-studied.…”

“…Remote acculturation is a modern form of acculturation arising from indirect and/or intermittent con-tact with distant non-native cultures via modern globalization whereby some individuals can adopt behaviors, values, or identities from one or more cultures in which they have never lived, holding them alongside local cultural identities and behavioral styles . Like traditional immigrant acculturation, also referred to as proximal acculturation, remote acculturation is a bi/tri/multidimensional process allowing multiple cultural affiliations to varying degrees rather than an "either-or" choice (Ferguson et al, 2019), and it can occur in one or more domains of life including one's behavioral preferences, values, and/or identity (see Ferguson, Tran, Mendez, & van de Vijver, 2017). Remote acculturation, therefore, aligns with the tenets of polycultural psychology that cultural affiliations are now plural (not singular) and partial (only some components of any given culture are internalized versus all) (Morris, Chiu, & Liu, 2015).…”

“…Remote acculturation, a modern form of nonmigrant acculturation based on globalization (G. M. Ferguson, Tran, Mendez, & Van de Vijver, 2016), is a novel framework to investigate whether coparents in Turkey are differentially adopting U.S. behaviors and identities, and the potential implications for children’s adjustment.…”
