Abstract:
Immigration and globalization are at historic highs, making biculturalism, whether by way of immigration-based proximal acculturation or globalization-based remote acculturation, increasingly commonplace for adolescents. Using focus group interviews, this qualitative study explored Latinx adolescents’ ( n = 19, 13-19 years) views of proximal biculturalism in the United States, and Jamaican adolescents’ ( n = 15, 13-18 years) views of remote biculturalism in Jamaica in terms of the existence, adaptive value, and challenges of biculturalism. Findings of thematic analyses revealed that both groups of adolescents viewed biculturalism as possible in their respective contexts although differences in processes and mechanisms were evident. In addition, youth in both contexts saw biculturalism as beneficial for social and practical reasons. Finally, both groups acknowledged challenges related to biculturalism; however, internal conflicts based on physical appearance was a theme of discussion only among U.S. Latinxs, whereas problems fitting in were primary concerns for Jamaicans. Studying the similarities (and differences) between proximal and remote biculturalism can enrich biculturalism theory, and doing so from the adolescent point of view has important practical value by providing a fuller understanding of the experience of biculturalism among youth who are developing ethnic/cultural identities and planning their futures in diversifying cultural environments.

Abstract:
My doctoral research concerned implementing bicultural curriculum in mainstream early childhood centres in Aotearoa New Zealand. While I explored these ideas from an appreciative inquiry standpoint, some troubling aspects related to the notion of biculturalism occurred. In this article, definitions of biculturalism are examined, as is the relationship between bilingualism and biculturalism, as well as the growing move to replace power sharing implied by biculturalism, with multiculturalism. In addition to perusing the literature, data were collected through a survey of 76 early childhood respondents, in 2003. Generally, respondents had a positive definition of biculturalism. However, when considering whether bicultural practices were a positive expression or not academic literature was divided. What was interesting in Aotearoa New Zealand was overall those promoting biculturalism were Pākehā and those opposed were Māori. One conclusion I draw is that the term Tiriti-based better captures the intention of partnership than biculturalism.

Abstract:
The present study reexamined the relationship between biculturalism and adaptation in the ICSEY1 data. The sample consisted of 5,365 immigrants, aged between 13 and 18 years ( M = 15.35, SD = 1.56) who were living in 13 different countries. We measured biculturalism bilineally using a range of ICSEY variables akin to acculturation. The study findings revealed that biculturalism was the most preferred acculturation mode across countries and within most of the countries. Biculturalism was positively related to two out of three psychological adaptation measures and one out of two sociocultural adaptation measures across and within most participating countries. The pattern of relationship remained true after controlling for perceived discrimination in the analyses.

Abstract:
Background: Culture is an important force which affects health behaviors linked to cancer risks among immigrants. Studies have demonstrated the process of acculturation can produce a form of stress that impact health negatively. On the other hand, research suggests that biculturalism, defined as the combining and practicing of customs from two cultures, may be a healthy approach to acculturation. Biculturalism is especially relevant for youth immigrants as their cultural identities are still developing. Pacific Islanders, a fastest growing populations in the US, often experience discrimination in the society at large and in the health care system. Pacific Islander youth in the US navigate between two cultural identities: their native culture as they live in a close-knit community that still maintains strong cultural norms and values, and the dominant American culture that they face once they step outside their community. This is one of the rare studies that examine the relationship between acculturation and cancer preventive behaviors among Pacific Islander youth. Aim: We aim to study the process through which biculturalism influences cancer risk and preventive behaviors such as smoking, sunscreen applications, physical activity and healthy eating among Pacific Islander youth immigrants in Hawaii. Specifically, we map the process of influence that links biculturalism to self-esteem and to these cancer risk and preventive behaviors. Methods: Using survey data from 284 Pacific Islander youth, we developed and tested a theoretically driven model that specifies the relationship among variables listed above. Results: Results show that self-esteem serves as an important mediator connecting biculturalism to cancer preventive behaviors. While biculturalism did not have a direct influence on behaviors and outcomes, it led to increased self-esteem which, in turn, directly influenced attitudes about sunscreen application, physical activity and healthy eating. However, there was neither direct nor indirect link between biculturalism and smoking. Conclusion: While numerous studies have shown links between biculturalism and health, not many studies focus on the specific process through which the influence is exerted. This study provides an important insight into the process through which biculturalism impacts cancer preventive behaviors among minority youth in America. Data from the study showed a clear relationship between biculturalism, self-esteem, their attitudes and behavior related to cancer prevention among Pacific Islander youth living in Hawaii. This study provides insights into potentially novel methods and interventions designed to increase cancer preventive behaviors among migrant youth by dually promoting adoption of U.S. cultural norms, while concurrently embracing an individual´s historic cultural identity.

Abstract:
Indigenous* college students in both Canada and the United States have the lowest rates of obtaining postsecondary degrees, and their postsecondary dropout rates are higher than for any other minority (Freeman & Fox, 2005; Mendelson, 2004; Reddy, 1993). There has been very little research done to uncover possible reasons for such low academic achievement and high dropout rates for Indigenous students. Some of the research that has been done indicates that one challenge for Indigenous students is the difficulty in navigating the cultural differences between higher education and their Indigenous cultures. Biculturalism is the ability of an individual to navigate two different cultures (Bell, 1990; Das & Kemp, 1997). Several scholars have suggested that biculturalism is an important construct in understanding academic persistence among Indigenous students (Jackson, Smith & Hill, 2003; Schiller, 1987). This study explored biculturalism among Indigenous college students and how it impacts their higher education experience. Indigenous college students (n=26) from the southwestern United States and central Canada participated in qualitative interviews for the study. The interviews were transcribed and interpreted using a synthesis of qualitative methods. Several themes related to the participants' experience of biculturalism emerged from the qualitative analysis: institutional support for transition to college, racism, types of relationships to native culture, career issues, and family issues. The findings suggested that more needs to be done in terms of providing Indigenous students centers at universities, implementing mentor programs for incoming students, and educating future Indigenous college students, families, and communities about biculturalism and the culture of higher education. *Author's note: The term Indigenous will be used to describe Native American/American Indian, First Nation and Métis student participants. Interviews were collected both in the United States and Canada. The terminology used to describe these populations differs across cultures; therefore, Indigenous will be used as a more general term, to describe the participants. The terminology used by cited authors was retained.

Abstract:
This thesis traces the immigration of "model minority" mothers: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, from their home countries to the United States. It examines the reasons women immigrate to the United States, the situations into which they immigrate, and the ways that they adapt traditional East Asian modes of mothering and child rearing techniques to life in the United States. This thesis finds that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean women emigrate to the United States primarily under the direction of male figures of authority. Motivators of their emigration include leaving poverty and war in their own countries, joining husbands or potential husbands in the United States, hoping to escape the cultural restrictions of their home countries, or becoming prostitutes. As these women make their own way in the United States, they find themselves encountering immense cultural difficulties, not the least of which is the alteration of their role as mothers as they try to raise their children in an entirely new cultural context. Despite the hopes of many of these women, what they find in the United States is not a life of leisure and wealth; rather, they are forced into positions in which they must work for long hours outside the home to provide economically for their families as well as raise their children and care for the home. This thesis finds that memoirs, novels, biographies, autobiographies, narratives, historical accounts, and sociological data highlight several major areas of adaptation for these women including: the differences in these women's sense of community in America, their expectations of the educational system in the United States, the reversal of power in the use of language between mother and daughter, and the complex measures of adaptation to and rejection of U.S. cultural norms that mothers must implement while raising their children. Rather than being crushed by the labor that they must perform and the cultural adaptations that they must make, these women willingly sacrifice their lives to build a base upon which their children can succeed through the attainment of higher education leading toward upward mobility.

Abstract:
A qualitative study, using an oral history method was completed. Seven participants (2 men, 5 women) of Gullah descent from the St. Helenaâ s Island and Charleston, South Carolina area were extensively interviewed. Symbolic interactionism provided the theoretical framework for the study. Findings included the recognition of the Gullah as a unique cultural group and the possible effects of slavery on identity formation for individuals as well as the Gullah community. Striking differences in physical space utilization between Gullah and non-Gullah residents were suggested. The presence of conflict between African and European beliefs and practices were seen in areas such as religious traditions, child rearing, and language. The pervasive effect of racism on identity and its relationship to biculturalism was discussed. Biculturalism appeared to be strongly related to survival as well as being an integral part of the participantsâ identities.

Abstract This research project deals with the experiences of children of immigrants in Sweden regarding biculturalism and personal identity. Using a method of qualitative interviewing we aim at answering the following research question: What effects of biculturalism have children of immigrants in Sweden experienced? What perceptions do children of immigrants have regarding the effects of biculturalism on their personal identity? This study uses the social identity theory approach as a framework for the analysis because it helps explain how the social context can affect identity formation.   Key words: children of immigrants, identity, biculturalism, ethnical identity.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the daily life of the younger generation of Mexican Americans through a phenomenology design. Specifically, in regard to how the culture-sharing pattern of biculturalism is reflected in their lives and the way they construct their bicultural identity. The study utilized rich qualitative data to paint a clear and descriptive picture of the internal process of biculturalism within eight Mexican American college students. Ultimately, the data analysis aimed to collect and reflect their voices and the stories. This was done through three distinct data methods that complemented each other: interviews (oral), photo elicitation (visual), and document analysis (written). Results indicate that, the way bicultural individuals organize and respond to their culture in terms of behavior and cognition, is independent from the feelings they experience while engaging in cultural frame switching. No matter how well the participants are able to organize their dual cultures and compartmentalize them in their life, they still struggle with conflicting and opposing feelings. Nonetheless, even though their cultures and ideologies can clash at times and feel contradictory, this young generation can still manage to respond and function in both cultures, but to varying degrees.

Dominguez, Mariana. "Understanding how biculturalism contributes to Latinas' pursuit of higher education." Thesis, Alliant International University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3557649.

Abstract:

Latina/os are the fastest growing minority group in the United States and in California, yet they have not been able to maintain an adequate educational attainment and achievement level in comparison to other ethnic groups (Marin & Marin, 1991). Typically, Latinas are not able to achieve the amount of education they set out to accomplish because of factors such as poverty, family responsibilities, attending low quality primary and secondary schools, being placed in lower tracked classes, poor self-image, a limit in community resources, gender role expectations and the lack of role models (Zambrana & Zoppi, 2002). It is essential to examine how Latinas are able to integrate their families' expectations, the community, perception of campus climate, and coping styles through the pursuit of the higher education process.

This study explores how cultural, social and psychological factors contribute to pursuing the attainment of a bachelor's degree utilizing bicultural identity theory. It is hypothesized that biculturalism is associated with Latinas being able to attain and achieve a bachelor's degree because of their ability to navigate through various environments in which they can adapt.

Nine current undergraduate women that identify as Latinas were interviewed. The participants each answered a demographic questionnaire during the qualification telephone interview as well as two demographic questions during the actual interview. The participants' age ranged between 18-36 years old with the mean age being 21-years-old. All the participants live in Northern California. All nine participants identify as Latina. Four participants attend San Jose State University, two attend California State University, Stanislaus, one attends the University of California at Berkeley, one attends Chico State University and one attends Santa Clara University.

There are several significant themes that emerged from the interviews and they include: 1. Cultural Awareness and Ethnic Pride 2. Family Support with Pursuing Higher Education 3. Discouragement 4. High School and College Campus Support 5. Peer Support in High School and College 6. Experience of College Peers 7. Self-Motivation and Ambition 8. Role Models 9. Barriers 10. Support Prior to Entering as Well as During College. The results of the study are thoroughly discussed, as well as study limitations, implications for practice, and suggestions for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
To explore the possible socio-cognitive consequences of biculturalism, we examined the complexity of cultural representations in monocultural and bicultural individuals. Study 1 found that Chinese-American biculturals’ free descriptions of both American and Chinese cultures were higher in cognitive complexity than that of Anglo-American monoculturals, but the same effect was not apparent in descriptions of culturally-neutral entities (landscapes). Using the same procedures, Study 2 found that the cultural representations of biculturals with low levels of Bicultural Identity Integration (BII; or biculturals with conflicted cultural identities) were more cognitively complex than that of biculturals with high BII (biculturals with compatible cultural identities). This work shows that biculturalism and BII have meaningful cognitive consequences; further it suggests that exposure to more than one culture increases individuals’ ability to detect, process, and organize everyday cultural meaning, highlighting the potential benefits of multiculturalism.

Abstract:
Floyd Rudman (2003) notes that by enlarge, contemporary theory posits biculturalism as a positive and adaptive phenomenon. However, as early as 1936, commentators like Redfield et al. proposed that “psychic conflict” can result from attempts to reconcile different social paradigms inside bicultural adaptation (p. 152). Child (1943/1970) also argued that biculturalism cannot resolve cultural frustrations and accordingly, they can be more distressing than a commitment to one culture or the other. The tensions these early theorists noted I found significant when writing and directing my recent feature film PUNCH (Ings, 2022). When creating this work I drew on both my Māori and Pākehā (European) ancestry, and my experience as a gay man who was raised in a heteronormative world. In creating the film’s characters I navigated tensions, working within and between cultural spaces as I wove experience into a fictional examination of what it is to be an outsider in a world that you call home. In this pursuit, I often found myself transgressing borders in my effort to give voice to an in-betweenness that was impure and at times disruptive. While being appreciative of cultural values and practices, I sought ways of expressing identities that are liminal. However, in designing the in-between, like many bicultural creatives I faced accusations of diminished purity. Significantly, I found myself encountering a form of cultural monitoring and pressure to reshape what I knew to be embodied truth because it failed to sit comfortably with the presuppositions of culturally anxious funding bodies, producers and distributors. Their opinions as to what authentically characterised cultural spaces (to which they did not belong), proved challenging. This was because ultimately I knew that audiences for the film would contain people from the in-between, from the liminal, the underrepresented and the marginalised … who would be seeking an expression of lived experiences that rarely appear in cinema. Using scenes from the film PUNCH, this presentation unpacks ways in which cultural networking, verification and responsibility were navigated to reinforce an attitudinal position of ‘positive cultural dissonance’ (Faumuina, 2015). By adopting this stance, I no longer saw biculturality as a diminishment or watering down of integrity, instead it was appreciated as a space of fertile tension and creative synergy. Using positive cultural dissonance as my turangawaewae (place to stand), I negotiated a research project that pursued the resilient beauty of in-betweenness in a story of bicultural, gender non-binary, small town conflict and resolution.

Abstract:
This kaupapa Māori research project investigates the ways that two Māori-medium pathways (bilingual and immersion) work together in a newly built Flexible Learning Space (FLS) to progress te reo Māori and the aspirations of whānau. This paper introduces the project that proposes the notion of the Māori Modern Learning Environment (MMLE). Funded by Teaching Learning Research Initiative (TLRI), this two-year project is still in progress with the project only being at an early stage. The researchers are currently exploring how ‘space’ is understood and utilised by Māori teachers, students and whānau of two Māori-medium pathways, within the wider English-medium primary-school context. This pūrākau (casestudy) project takes a strengths-based approach, and is based on the experiences, pedagogies and potential of Te Akā Pūkaea, at Newton Central School. The two whānau groups and Māori-medium pathways at the centre of the study are: Te Uru Karaka (immersion) and Te Awahou (bilingual). This research is intended to respond to the call from Stewart and Benade (2020) to ‘spatial biculturalism’ as we theorise ‘space’ from a kaupapa Māori lens. Hence, the project is titled “A Māori Modern Learning Environment: Ko te Akā Pūkaea Kia Ita, Ko te Akā Pūkaea Kia Eke!”.

Abstract:
A growing interest in Two-Way Bilingual Immersion (TWBI) programs has led to increased attention to bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism. This article describes the writing development in Spanish and English for 49 kindergarten students in a 50/50 Two-Way Bilingual Immersion program. Over the course of an academic year, the authors collected writing samples to analyze evidence of cross-linguistic resource sharing using a grounded theoretical approach to compare and contrast writing samples to determine patterns of cross-linguistic resource sharing in English and Spanish. The authors identified four patterns: phonological, syntactic, lexical, and metalinguistic awareness. Findings indicated that emergent writers applied similar strategies as older bilingual students, including lexical level code-switching, applied phonological rules of L1 to their respective L2s, and used experiential and content knowledge to write in their second language. These findings have instructional implications for both English Learners and native English speakers as well as for learning from students for program improvement.
