Book Synopsis Ethnic Identity and Acculturation by : Sara Forouzan
Download or read book Ethnic Identity and Acculturation written by Sara Forouzan. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to create a workshop for second-generation Iranian American young adults who have struggled with understanding and exploring their ethnic identity. Iranian immigration to the United States is a relatively recent event. These families have experienced the ongoing stress of acculturation, which has left an impact on second-generation individuals attempting to balance their identities between multiple cultures. Additional factors influencing a person's identity confusion include diminished psychological well-being, life-cycle stages, and relationships between the generations. This four- hour workshop will provide a structured environment designed to address the ways in which these factors impact the lives of young adults. This workshop will guide participants through understanding these factors, and putting them into the context of their own lives. Participants will conclude the workshop by being encouraged to use their own story to connect with others, linking their narrative to the concepts discussed throughout, and ultimately beginning a dialogue amongst Iranian-Americans.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Generation, First and Second, Ethnic Identity, Modernity, and Acculturation Among Immigrant Lebanese American Women by : Hanan Elali Fadlallah
Download or read book The Relationship Between Generation, First and Second, Ethnic Identity, Modernity, and Acculturation Among Immigrant Lebanese American Women written by Hanan Elali Fadlallah. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Berry̕ s model of acculturation, when immigrants move to a new country, they choose to live according to any one of the following four acculturation modes: assimilation, integration, separation, or marginalization. The specific cultural and psychosocial characteristics of the acculturating individual or group determine what acculturation mode they will most likely follow. Generation, ethnic identity and modernity are few examples of those cultural and psychosocial referents. The present study examined the relationship of generation, ethnic identity and modernity to acculturation among first and second-generation Lebanese American immigrant women living in the metro-Detroit area. Using the snowball technique, ninety women (first generation = 51, second generation = 39) took part in the study. The participants responded on Qualtrics (online survey platform) to the four measures used in this study: (1) a demographic survey, (2) the Mutltigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), (3) Traditionalism-Modernism Inventory-Revised (TMI-R), and (4) the Acculturation Rating Scale for Arab Americans II (ARSAA-II). Multiple regression was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that generation and ethnic identity had a significant relationship to acculturation, as they were the best predictors of acculturation in Lebanese American women in the metro Detroit area. Unexpectedly, modernity did not contribute significantly to acculturation. The main implication of this research is that if immigrants' generation (first, second, etc.) and ethnic identity are known, then professionals can make meaningful determinations of immigrants' acculturation. Discussion of the relationships among the variables as stated in the hypothesis is provided. Future research and practice implications are also provided.
