Identity Integration Promotes the Migrant Children's Acculturation: The Explanation of the Cultural Frame-switching

Abstract

Abstract: The present study adopted 2 (identity status-primed:urban-primed and rural-primed) by 2 (levels of the identity integration:high and low) between-subject design to investigate the internal mechanism of the role that identity integration promoted the migrant children's acculturation. 108 migrant children from Beijing and Weihai were randomly selected for this study, the evaluation of others in urban or rural and the identity integration were assessed. Results highlighted the differences of evaluation of others in urban between the low and high levels of identity integration, this might light on the role of cultural frame-switching in the identity integration promoting the migrant children's acculturation.

Key words: identity integration, cultural frame-switching, migrant children, acculturation

摘要： 采用2（认同身份启动，城市身份和农村身份）×2（认同整合，高认同整合和低认同整合）的被试间实验设计，通过行为实验法对来自北京、威海的108名流动儿童进行测试，考察其对于城市他人和农村他人的评价，进一步分析认同整合促进流动儿童心理适应的内在机制。结果表明：与低认同整合者相比较，高认同整合流动儿童对城市儿童的人际关系和学习成绩的评价更积极，表现出同化效应。揭示了文化框架转换是认同整合促进流动儿童文化适应的内在机制。
