Abstract
This study aimed to classify the bicultural identity profiles of biethnic adolescents in Korea (N = 1298) using latent profile analysis and three indicators—Korean identity, bicultural acceptance, and acculturative stress. Their associations with dropout risk were examined thereafter. Four bicultural identity types emerged: alienated, struggling, adaptable, and embracing. The results revealed that the struggling type with low Korean identity, low bicultural acceptance, and high acculturative stress had the highest dropout risk. However, the embracing type with the highest levels of both Korean identity and bicultural acceptance and the lowest level of acculturative stress had the lowest dropout risk. The findings highlight the importance of developing a balanced bicultural identity.
期刊介绍:
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
