This study adopted an intergroup perspective on immigrant acculturation, which views immigrants as members of a disadvantaged social category. Its primary purpose was to relate the relative disadvantage of certain immigrant groups to a preference for collective acculturation strategies. Questionnaires were administered to immigrants from four ethnic groups, two of which (blacks from the Caribbean, and Chinese) were considered to be relatively more “stigmatized” within the Canadian context than the other two (Greeks and Italians). In addition, a cross-generational methodology provided comparisons between first-generation immigrants (n = 116), and their adult children (n = 133). It was hypothesized and found that the more “stigmatized” immigrants perceived themselves to be at a greater social disadvantage and were more supportive of a collective integration orientation than less stigmatized immigrants. Parents were more likely to endorse a collective acculturation orientation and exhibited a stronger ethnic identification than their children. The results are interpreted using an intergroup approach to immigrant acculturation. Cette etude examine l'acculturation d'immigrants en utilisant une perspective intergroupe qui identifie les immigrants comme membres de groupes desavantages. Le but primaire de l'etude etait de faire le lien entre le niveau de desavantage de differents groupes d'immigrants et une strategie d'acculturation collective. Quatre groupes ont recu un questionnaire: den groupes (immigrants noirs des Caraibes et Chinois) ayant une “position” sociale considerablement moins elevee dans le contexte Canadien que les dew autres (Grecs et Italiens). En plus, une methodologie trans-generationnelle a permis la comparaison entre des immigrants de premiere gtntration (n = 116) et leurs enfants adultes (n = 133). Les resultats ont appuye l'hypothese que les immigrants ayant une “position” inferieure se percoivent comme etant plus desavantages et plus en faveur d'une strategie d'acculturation collective que les immigrants ayant une “position” plus Clevee. De plus, les parents sont plus en faveur de strategies d'acculturation collective et ont une identitye ethnique plus forte que leurs enfants. Les rtsultats sont interpretes en fonction d'un cadre thtorique intergroupe. |
