跨文化传播学中文化适应研究的路径与问题

文化适应研究是当今国外跨文化传播学界最关注的主题之一.它在心理学、传播学和人类学等不同层面展开,形成了引人瞩目的理论景观.另一方面,由于不同学科关注的重点不一,研究和分析的方法各异,文化适应理论体系呈现出纷繁复杂的景象.本文试图通过分析、反思不同层面文化适应研究的理路,探求不同学科间文化适应研究的联系与分歧.本文认为惟有广阔的视野、多样化的研究方法和丰富的知识体系,才能使跨文化传播领域的文化适应研究更有生命力.     

教育人类学视阙下的少数民族大学生文化适应——以成都某高校彝族学生为例

对成都某高校彝族在校大学生的文化适应状况所进行的调查显示,高校应该在教育管理过程中引导彝族学生应对文化适应障碍提出可操作性的策略,从而使少数民族学生群体解决文化适应问题,提高学业成就,成为民族文化的有力传播者和民族区域发展的合格建设者。     

维吾尔族学生在汉语社区的意义建构及文化融入策略研究

本研究采用质性研究方法,选取9名维吾尔族大学生进行深度访谈、田野观察及实物资料收集,采用解释现象学及扎根理论方法,对内地新疆籍维吾尔族大学生在汉语社区社会化过程中之意义建构与文化融入策略进行研究。结果表明：（1）面对生活喜好差异及社区环境差异,维吾尔族大学生生成了高比重正向意义构建,分别采取部分融入及完全融入的文化适应策略;（2）维吾尔族大学生在生活喜好及社区环境差异生成的意义构建,与情感态度差异生成的意义构建交互,影响甚至决定维吾尔族大学生的文化适应速度及走向。文章最后以跟踪采访数据展现维吾尔族学生在饮食观及语言观影响下文化适应的心理动态。     

Minority students’ psychological adjustment in the school context: an integrative review of qualitative research on acculturation

The present study aims at systematically analyzing the findings reported in qualitative research on acculturation and psychological adjustment in the school context. Content analysis was conducted using the deductively developed and inductively enriched system of categories. The results of the study provide insights into youths’ acculturation and their psychological adjustment in the school context as well as schools’ mechanisms and strategies for responding to minority youths’ needs in the process of the cultural transition.     

Trajectories of discrimination among Chinese American youth: Variation,predictors, and outcomes

Using 3 waves of longitudinal data from 444 Chinese American adolescents (M_age = 13.04 at Wave 1, 54% identified as women), the current study explored if there was variation in discrimination trajectories from early to late adolescence and whether contextual and individual factors predicted trajectories as well as if trajectories were associated with academic achievement and mental health. Three distinct discrimination trajectories were identified: low-increasing, moderate-stable, and high-decreasing. The results also revealed that neighborhood Chinese concentration and adolescents' acculturation predicted discrimination trajectories. Different trajectories were also associated with depressive symptoms; adolescents in the high-decreasing trajectory reported higher levels of depressive symptoms in late adolescence than in the other two trajectories. The findings highlight the heterogeneity in Chinese American adolescents' discrimination experience.
