Abstract

Despite the growing evidence that the modern world is more diverse and so is the nature of relationships that present in therapy, there remains paucity of empirical evidence on how cultural differences impact those in intercultural romantic ties. We conducted this comprehensive scoping review with the aim to outline the size and scope of existing research in the field of intercultural love and romantic relationships. We utilised a five-stage scoping review protocol provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) manual for synthesis of evidence for a scoping review to ensure the rigour, transparency, and replicability of our findings. We reviewed peer-reviewed articles across nine electronic databases as well as “snowballing” the literature from the reference lists. A total of 46 studies were included in this review. We found that the majority of studies approached intercultural relationships from the deficit perspective, focusing on the domains of cultural difference that bring challenges to the relationship. These included culture-rooted differences in parenting standards and gender role expectations, among others. Often, cultural differences were found to bring power impedance into the relationship. Open communication and flexibility were found as important coping strategies. Differences in native language posed challenges to emotional communication between partners. These findings demonstrate that intercultural relationships face an additional layer of challenges and complexities that have to be recognised in therapy. We propose four domains of transmodality relational competencies on the basis of our findings to inform culturally sensitive therapeutic practice.

跨文化爱情和浪漫关系研究的全面范围审查
尽管越来越多的证据表明,现代世界更加多元化,治疗中的关系性质也是如此,但关于文化差异如何影响跨文化恋爱关系的实证证据仍然很少。我们进行了这次全面的范围界定综述,旨在概述跨文化爱情和浪漫关系领域现有研究的规模和范围。我们采用了乔安娜-布里格斯研究所(Joanna Briggs Institute,JBI)为范围界定综述提供的五阶段范围界定综述协议,以确保研究结果的严谨性、透明度和可复制性。我们查阅了九个电子数据库中的同行评议文章,并从参考文献列表中 "滚雪球式 "收集文献。共有 46 项研究被纳入本综述。我们发现,大多数研究都从赤字的角度来探讨跨文化关系,重点关注给跨文化关系带来挑战的文化差异领域。这些差异包括育儿标准和性别角色期望等方面根植于文化的差异。文化差异往往会给关系带来权力障碍。开放式沟通和灵活性被认为是重要的应对策略。母语的差异给伴侣之间的情感交流带来了挑战。这些研究结果表明,跨文化关系面临着额外的挑战和复杂性,必须在治疗中加以认识。我们在研究结果的基础上提出了跨模态关系能力的四个领域,以便为具有文化敏感性的治疗实践提供信息。
