    Study Notes

    Acculturation Orientations

    • Individualists prioritize personal qualities and achievements over cultural maintenance. They interact with immigrants as they would with any other individual.
    • Integrationism involves maintaining aspects of one's culture of origin while adopting some characteristics of the host culture.
    • Assimilationism involves relinquishing one's culture of origin to fully embrace the culture of the dominant host majority. This orientation is often associated with a desire to be fully accepted by the host society.
    • Separatism involves maintaining one's culture of origin while rejecting important features of the host culture. This orientation is associated with a preference for interactions within one's own cultural group.
    • Marginalization experiences feelings of alienation from both one's culture of origin and the host culture, causing a sense of anomie and social exclusion.

    Host Majority Orientations Towards Immigrants

    • Integrationism is endorsed by host majority members who accept and value immigrants maintaining some of their heritage culture while also adopting key features of the host culture.
    • Assimilationism expects immigrants to relinquish their cultural identity to adopt the dominant culture of the host majority.
    • Segregationism accepts the maintenance of immigrant heritage cultures but prefers immigrants to keep their distance from the host majority.
    • Exclusionism denies immigrants the right to adopt features of the host culture and may even advocate for halting or reversing immigration from certain countries.
    • Individualism focuses on personal characteristics rather than group identities.

    Intergroup Relations and Concordance

    • The Immigrant Acculturation Model (IAM) proposes that acculturation orientations can be endorsed in both public and private domains of life.
    • The IAM also suggests that concordance between host majority and immigrant acculturation orientations can lead to harmonious, problematic, or conflictual intergroup outcomes.
    • Harmonious relations are most likely when both groups endorse integrationism, individualism, or assimilationism.
    • Problematic relations arise when there is only partial concordance between the orientation of the host majority and immigrant groups.
