Immigrant Acculturation

Globalization has accelerated the exposure of nonmigrants to remote cultures in which they have never lived, producing remote acculturation (RA). The health implications of RA may reach further than those of immigrant acculturation because nonmigrants constitute the majority of the world’s population. This chapter describes the conceptualization of RA, reviews the body of empirical research on RA, discusses measurement of RA, and explores the health implications of RA. The review suggests that RA to faraway cultures may have both negative and positive health outcomes, some of which are also common to immigrants (e.g., acculturation gap between adolescents and parents). Acculturation and health researchers, as well as health practitioners, need to be alert to this new cultural landscape if they are to effectively address the health needs of modern individuals who may be acculturating remotely in their own backyards.

Immigrant Acculturation

Chapter 9 explores the ways culture shapes our attitudes, feelings, and the nature of intergroup contact. It discusses attitudes, prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, culture-specific and cross-national studies, and the connection between beauty, skin color, and prejudice across different cultural communities. It addresses the immigrant experience, xenophobia, immigrant acculturation and adjustment, intergroup contact, cultural collisions, and social justice. It also includes a discussion of applied cultural psychology as it relates to immigrants and intergroup contact involving work and social mobility, school and cultural mismatch, multinational business, nonverbal communication, studying abroad, and business etiquette and culture. This chapter includes a case study, Culture Across Disciplines box, chapter summary, key terms, a What Do Other Disciplines Do? section, thought-provoking questions, and class and experiential activities.
