Abstract:
The “Sixties Scoop” describes a period in Aboriginal history in Canada in which thousands of Aboriginal children were removed from birth families and placed in non-Aboriginal environments. Despite literature that indicates adoption breakdown rates of 85-95%, recent research with adults adopted as children indicates that some adoptees have found solace through reacculturating to their birth culture and contextualizing their adoptions within colonial history. This article explores the history of Aboriginal adoption in Canada and examines some of the issues of transracial adoption through the lens of psychology theories to aid understanding of identity conflicts facing Aboriginal adoptees. The article concludes with recommendations towards a paradigm shift in adoption policy as it pertains to Aboriginal children.

Abstract:
Abstract.This paper explores how citizenship norms of duty to vote and to volunteer in one's community influence political participation, and the role of group identities in producing these norms. By showing how citizenship norms influence an array of political activities, and by drawing on social psychology literature that shows how citizenship norms are shaped by group identifications, the paper offers a more complete picture of the relationship between citizenship norms and political participation beyond traditional civic duty/federal vote models that currently dominate Canadian political research. The central argument forwarded is that not only do citizenship norms matter to political participation, but that group identities matter, too.Résumé.Cette étude explore les effets sur la participation politique des normes relatives au devoir du citoyen de voter et de contribuer à sa communauté, de même que le rôle des identités de groupe dans la production de ces normes. En montrant comment les normes de citoyenneté influencent une foule d'activités politiques et en puisant dans la littérature en psychologie sociale, qui montre comment ces normes sont formées par des identifications de groupe, cette étude aide à mieux comprendre la relation entre ces normes et la participation politique au-delà du cadre traditionnel devoir civique / vote fédéral qui domine actuellement la recherche en politique canadienne. La thèse avancée est que les normes de citoyenneté jouent effectivement un rôle important dans la participation politique, tout comme les identités de groupe.

Abstract:
In the current study, we used a grounded theory methodology to understand the acculturation process of LGBT immigrants in Canada. Results revealed two parallel themes: Cultural Identity Development and Sexual and Gender Identity Development. Heterosexism and cissexism in the culture of origin was a central phenomenon in the development of the cultural, sexual, and gender aspects of LGBT immigrant identity. Moreover, LGBT immigrants’ culture of origin and Canadian culture influenced their sexual and gender identity development before and after immigration. Results suggest that many LGBT immigrants assume a Western orientation as a coping response to heterosexism and cissexism in their culture of origin, even before immigration occurs. The current study identified the perceived challenges and advantages that LGBT immigrants experience during the acculturation process as well as various acculturation outcomes. We discuss clinical implications and future research directions in light of the results.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid scale to measure acculturation of Iranian immigrants in Canada. The 20-item Iranian Acculturation Scale showed Cronbach alpha of .83. Item-total correlations ranged from .25 to .65. Four factors were extracted, based on responses from 119 Iranian immigrants (43 men and 76 women) living in Toronto. The scale tapped different acculturation dimensions, cultural identity, language, family-related attitude and family-related values. The longer these Iranian immigrants had lived in Canada, and the earlier the age of moving to Canada the better acculturation suggested by their scores.

Abstract:
A cross-sectional design was used to inquire about peer relations of 85 second and fifth grade students in two integrated Anglophone and Francophone schools in Montreal, Canada. Data on same- and cross-ethnic identification, interactive companions and mutual best friends were collected for each student. Overall findings were that students had more companions from their own than the other ethno-linguistic group, but equivalent numbers of mutual best friends. Same- and cross-ethnic mutual friends were rated similarly in terms of friendship quality (as assessed by the McGill Friendship Questionnaire). Exploratory in-depth interviews with 16 students indicated that cross-ethnic relationships ran into two barriers. One was that they were limited to only a few activities and locations and so did not become personalized. The second was that in-group and out-group friends did not always mix well.

Abstract:
Various studies have examined the validity of the Functions of Identity Scale; the current study addressed gaps in previous works. Its three main goals were to revise the Control subscale and establish its construct validity, to assess the structural validity of a five-factor model, and to establish the external validity of the subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed with a sample of 422 female and 107 male undergraduate students from two universities in Ontario, Canada. The analysis supported the construct validity of the revised five-factor measurement model and the new Personal Control factor. The external validity of each of the subscales was tested, and scale items were revised to increase clarity and readability (to a Grade 5.5 reading level). Rigorous validity testing, strong psychometric properties, low reading level, and a novel focus on the outer workings of identity formation make this scale an attractive addition to current identity measures.

Abstract:
Objectives:In response to the little information available about the characteristics of counselling psychology students in Canada and their impact on the future of the specialization in Canada, 52 student members of the Canadian Psychological Association’s Section on Counselling Psychology (representing a 26 per cent response rate) were surveyed using an adapted version of a questionnaire to survey counselling psychologists in Canada.Findings:Results indicated that, in most ways, the characteristics of Canadian counselling psychology students resemble those of current counselling psychologists but some differences emerged that point to a future with an increasing female-male practitioner gender gap, more non-heterosexual counselling psychologists, and a slight growth in humanistic/person-centred theories being used.Discussion:The field will likely continue to be characterized by heterosexual female counselling psychologists of European descent, who practice primarily from either a theoretically-integrative standpoint or cognitive-behavioural theory, who intervene largely through individual counselling or psychotherapy, and almost entirely only in the English language. The results of the study are examined with respect to understanding gaps in training, professional identity, and the apparent distancing from the historical roots of the profession. The limitations of the study are noted and avenues for future research are outlined. Some comparisons with the field in other regions of the world, like the UK, are also provided.

Abstract:
Immigration is a significant component of Canada's population growth, and immigration policies are designed to attract and retain qualified immigrants to improve the likelihood of successful integration into Canadian society. However, many professionals who migrate do not fare well in the Canadian labour market, which is problematic because workforce integration is an important aspect of successful resettlement. This dissertation describes the career experiences and career identity evolution of ten Sri Lankan Sinhalese women who immigrated to Quebec, Canada between 1977 and 2007. This qualitative study uses a narrative methodology to explore these women's career identity development in Sri Lanka, their career experiences in Quebec, and their retrospective lifespan career identity development. The findings showed that career identity development in Sri Lanka was encouraged by family and support networks, and propelled by sociocultural and economic factors that encouraged women's education and employment. Participants demonstrated career behaviours that were goal-oriented and self-directed and had career goals that aligned with career values and personality traits. They embarked on their intended career trajectories and several had well-established careers in Sri Lanka. After immigrating to Montreal, Canada, participants experienced significant barriers to career development from immigration, educational, sociocultural and employment systems. The experience of these barriers was associated with profound affective and cognitive changes to career identity and modifications to career behaviours, career aspirations, career values, and career trajectories. Identification with their career and career satisfaction sharply decreased initially, as participants experienced losses associated with their career changes, as well as feeling overwhelmed by the multiple demands of resettlement and the dual burdens of parenting and income-generation. The longest-residing participants attained a modest level of career satisfaction after changing their career goals and identities while others ranged between hopeful expectation and resignation to current occupations. This dissertation makes an initial examination of the career identities and career experiences of a population of South Asian immigrant women which may inform future research. This study concludes with recommendations for theory, practice, and policy related to immigrant employment and resettlement.
L'immigration constitue une composante importante de croissance de la population canadienne. Les politiques d'immigration sont élaborées pour attirer et retenir des immigrants qui réussiront leur intégration au sein de la société canadienne. Pourtant, plusieurs professionnels immigrant au Canada ne vivent pas une intégration professionnelle réussie, ce qui entraîne des conséquences au niveau de l'intégration sociale. Cette thèse décrit les expériences de travail ainsi que l'évolution de l'identité de carrière de dix Sri Lankaises d'ethnie cingalaise ayant immigré au Québec, au Canada, entre 1977 et 2007. Cette thèse qualitative se sert d'une méthodologie narrative afin d'explorer le développement de l'identité de carrière au Sri Lanka, les expériences de travail au Québec et la rétrospective du développement de carrière au cours de la vie. Les résultats démontrent un développement de carrière au Sri Lanka encouragé par la famille et les systèmes de soutien, et propulsé par des facteurs socioculturels et économiques favorisant l'éducation et l'emploi. Les participantes ont démontré des comportements de carrière autonomes visant des buts professionnels assortis aux valeurs professionnelles et aux traits de personnalité. Plusieurs d'entre elles avaient une carrière bien établie. Après leur immigration à Montréal, au Canada, les participantes ont été confrontées à plusieurs obstacles au développement de carrière, ces derniers provenant des systèmes d'immigration, d'éducation, du marché du travail et du contexte socioculturel. L'expérience de ces obstacles est associée à de profonds changements affectifs et cognitifs liés à l'identité de carrière et des changements de comportement, d'aspirations professionnelles, de valeurs d'emploi et de cheminement professionnel. L'identification de carrière et la satisfaction d'emploi ont initialement chuté, alors que les participantes ont vécu des pertes reliées aux changements professionnels. De plus, elles étaient accablées par les exigences de l'adaptation et les fardeaux familiaux et financiers. Celles ayant vécu le plus longtemps au Québec ont atteint un niveau de satisfaction professionnelle modeste après avoir modifié leurs objectifs de carrière, tandis que les autres se situent entre l'espoir et la résignation professionnelle. Cette étude se conclut avec des recommandations pour l'amélioration de la recherche, la pratique d'activités de counselling et des politiques reliées à l'emploi et à l'intégration des immigrants.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the identity of the students at the Montreal Hoshuko and the factors that affect the way in which they identify themselves as Japanese, drawing upon a framework of political economy and concepts of globalization and transnationalism. It also explores how Japanese identity is changing in this globalized world. The fieldwork demonstrates that the identity of the Hoshuko students is somewhat commoditized based on Japanese popular culture such as Pokemon. It suggests that increasing communication and contact with external forces has changed and will further change the way Japanese people understand their own culture, identity, and themselves. It is argued that identities are not fixed or frozen in time; rather, they should be understood as flexible and a process shaped by history, a given context, and multiple external factors, and that a more fluid understanding of Japanese culture and identity is needed in a globalized, transnationalized world.

Abstract:
Les changements sociaux mettent aujourd'hui en question les identités individuelles et collectives, le rapport à soi-même et aux autres. À partir d'une méthodologie croisée, ce travail interroge la construction de l'identité en fonction du lien social, en comparant les dessins d'enfants québécois et ivoiriens (méthode projective de quatre dessins : libre, bonhomme, famille, famille idéale). Huit études de cas, de même qu'une comparaison statistique avec des données internationales (France, Russie, Vietnam), mettent en lumière des différences culturelles. La primauté de la représentation de soi-même, spécifique au Québec, et l'absence du sujet dans le dessin, particulière à la Côte d'Ivoire, font l'objet d'un examen particulier. Le dessin témoignant des identifications à l'interface subjective et sociale, la synthèse des résultats révèle la possibilité d'un lien entre le sujet solipsiste moderne et une organisation identificatoire privilégiant des figures du Même ou du semblable, qui implique des aspects régressifs. L'identification (secondaire) à des figures de l'Autre, nécessaire à la construction d'idéaux et d'une identité qui puisse se projeter dans l'avenir, paraît facilitée dans un lien social où une tradition symbolique fonctionne. De manière générale, l'identité est à penser comme un équilibre entre mêmeté et altérité, dont le lien social viendra faire varier la configuration.

Abstract:
The chapter presents results from a qualitative phenomenological heuristic study of the perceptions of historical trauma across Native American nations. Historical trauma has been established as a by-product of cultural and physical suppression. Cultural psychology details the impact of an individual's culture on the psychological development of the individual. Therefore, by examining the change to the culture that resulted in historical trauma, determination could be made regarding how the individual was impacted. This research addressed these contentions by interviewing Native American persons from the Eastern and Northern nations of North America and Canada and determined how historical trauma had influenced their psychological development via symptoms they experienced. The research identified several areas that differed from the extant literature regarding the Eastern and Northern nations.
