“…When such difficulties occur, maintaining one's American identity may become more difficult, possibly leading to dissociation with this identity. These results highlight that one's cultural identity may not be static (Hill, 2017), and it is possible for emotional states to influence our sense of cultural affiliation. In bicultural individuals in particular, a part of this influence may come from increased difficulty with blending their two cultures.…”

Objectives: In this study, we examined the association of ethnic and American identity with depression and anxiety and whether this relation is mediated by Bicultural Identity Integration. Method: We recruited racial and ethnic minority immigrant college students (N ϭ 766, M age ϭ 19.89, 60.4% women, 19.8% Black, 34.2% Hispanic, 36.6% Asian, and 9.4% other) who completed a series of self-report questionnaires. Participants answered questions relating to their ethnic and American identities, the degree to which these identities are compatible (i.e., Bicultural Identity Integration; BII), and presence of depression and anxiety symptoms. We conducted hierarchical linear regressions to test the direct relations between ethnic and American identity, BII, and depression and anxiety symptoms. We used bootstrapping to test the mediating role of BII. Results: Our analyses showed significant negative associations between American identity and BII cultural harmony with depression symptoms. BII cultural harmony was also negatively associated with anxiety symptoms. BII cultural harmony mediated the relations between American identity and both depression and anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Perceived compatibility between ethnic and American identities is seemingly important for understanding the relation between national identity and mental health among racial and ethnic minority immigrants. However, longitudinal research designs would help assess causality in the relations found herein.

“…The construction of a social identity becomes an important part of sociolinguistics [17]. Race, gender, sexuality, and ability are constructed based on life experiences, relationships, and connections [16] and [4]. Race builds up the concept that language used is different and since there are many issues about the highest race, so is language.…”

Nowadays social media has brought various and endless content, especially relating to the use of the local language even though the audience is national. One of them is an Instagram Reels account owned by Nopek Novian, a stand-up comedian from Madiun, East Java who puts in his accent and dialect when speaking the Indonesian language to other speakers with different linguistic backgrounds. Thus, this study aims to figure out the purpose of Nopek Novian maintaining his local language when speaking to others. The theory of raciolinguistics and Wardhaugh's waves of society are used to unravel the analysis. The ethnography method is conducted to be able to observe the object which is the Instagram reels comprehensively. The finding shows that the promoted identity is used by Nopek Novian so that Madiun accent and dialect are known nationally through the concept of Regional Indonesian.

“…However, there are other types of attractors, including periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic cycles [11]. With the rise in popularity of complexity science, other forms of attractors have also been used to identify more complex structures and situations such as health sciences [12,13], racial identity [14], thermodynamics [15], and human interaction. As these attractors are more complex, existing approaches for analyzing these attractors have also become more complex in comparison to fixed points.…”

The concept of attractors is considered critical in the study of dynamical systems as they represent the set of states that a system gravitates toward. However, it is generally difficult to analyze attractors in complex systems due to multiple reasons including chaos, high-dimensionality, and stochasticity. This paper explores a novel approach to analyzing attractors in complex systems by utilizing networks to represent phase spaces. We accomplish this by discretizing phase space and defining node associations with attractors by finding sink strongly connected components (SSCCs) within these networks. Moreover, the network representation of phase space facilitates the use of well-established techniques of network analysis to study the phase space of a complex system. We show the latter by introducing a new node-based metric called attractivity which can be used in conjunction with the SSCC as they are highly correlated. We demonstrate the proposed method by applying it to several chaotic dynamical systems and a large-scale agent-based social simulation model.
