Abstract

This work focuses on migrants’ ‘other-cultures’ intergroup contact – contact with individuals belonging to neither their heritage ingroup nor the mainstream outgroup. We test the overarching hypothesis that other-cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream acculturation, especially when contact in the mainstream group is scarce. Study 1 results show that frequent other-cultures contact is positively associated with mainstream identification among Maghrebi migrants to Quebec. This effect is stronger for participants with infrequent, versus frequent, mainstream contact. In Study 2, conducted among Russian migrants to Canada, having more other-cultures friends is positively related to mainstream acculturation only for participants with few mainstream friends. Further, the entry of other-cultures friends into migrants’ network takes place later than heritage friends but earlier than mainstream friends. The current work expands the traditional mainstream–heritage acculturation framework by moving away from binary conceptualizations of intergroup relations and considering other-cultures contact in superdiverse contexts.

超级多元化环境中的主流文化适应:与 "其他文化 "个体的群体间接触的有益作用
这项研究的重点是移民的 "其他文化 "群体间接触--与既不属于其传统内群体也不属于主流外群体的个人的接触。我们检验了一个重要假设,即其他文化接触与主流文化融合正相关,尤其是在主流群体接触稀少的情况下。研究 1 的结果表明,在魁北克的马格里布移民中,频繁接触其他文化与主流认同正相关。与频繁接触主流群体的参与者相比,这种效应更强。研究 2 的对象是移居加拿大的俄罗斯人,结果显示,只有主流朋友较少的参与者才会认为拥有更多其他文化的朋友与主流文化认同正相关。此外,其他文化朋友进入移民网络的时间晚于传统朋友,但早于主流朋友。目前的研究摒弃了群体间关系的二元概念,并考虑了超级多元化背景下的其他文化接触,从而扩展了传统的主流-遗产文化适应框架。
