Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samples of Navy Mainstream and Hispanic recruits answered a Personal Information Questionnaire which allowed the development of indices of acculturation and biculturalism. Two indices of acculturation were found to have desirable psychometric properties: (1) number of U.S. born relatives and (2) the extent to which the subject wishes to have mainstream co-workers and have his children attend mainstream schools. Those Hispanic recruits who were low in acculturation indicated that they enjoy only or mostly Spanish television and movies, have mostly Hispanic friends and romantic partners, prefer Spanish-speaking neighborhoods, and would enjoy a celebration of their birthday with a Spanish musical program. Those Hispanics who were more acculturated indicated that they enjoy both Spanish and English TV, movies, musical programs, and neighborhoods, and have some mainstream friends and romantic partners. Finally, those who were highly acculturated indicated that they enjoy only English TV and movies, have many mainstream friends, neighbors, and romantic partners, and enjoy a mostly English musical program for their birthday.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familism, that is emphasis on family relationships and family interdependence, was studied in samples of Hispanic and Mainstream recruits. It was found to be lower among highly acculturated Hispanics than among Hispanics who were moderately acculturated. The moderately acculturated are also more bicultural than the highly acculturated, so that bi-culturalism is positively linked to familism. The more modern Hispanics were less familistic, and there was no correlation between socioeconomic level and familism in the Hispanic sample. In the Mainstream sample none of these correlations were obtained. However, there was a trend for the higher socioeconomic level Mainstream recruits to be less familistic. Thus familism is a traditional Hispanic cultural attribute, unrelated to social class, while for the Mainstream it may be an attribute of a lower socioeconomic level. Interpretation of these relationships must take into account the restricted range of the modernity and socioeconomic status level variables, which is bound to occur when studying Navy recruits.

Download or read book Perceived Acceptability of Acculturative Behaviors by Hispanic and Mainstream Navy Recruits written by Gerardo Marin and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of 75 Hispanic and 83 Mainstream Navy recruits was asked to rate their perceived acceptability of immigrants keeping or loosing their native culture-specific behaviors (native language, dress codes, food preferences, music, literature, etc.) or becoming bicultural. Overall, both groups showed a marked preference for biculturalism on the part of immigrants, these results being independent of the respondent's actual level of acculturation or biculturalism. The two groups only differed on the Anglo's rejection of immigrants using only their native language while Hispanics were somewhat more accepting of this behavior. (Author).

Download or read book Locus of Control Among Mainstream and Hispanic Navy Recruits written by Chi Chiu Harry Hui and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidimensional scaling method was used as a possible way to establish and improve an instrument for measuring locus of control cross-culturally. Four subscales, corresponding to Collins' (1974) factors, were isolated. Of these, the Politically Responsive-Unresponsive World subscale was found to be lacking in cross-cultural validity for comparisons of Mainstream and Hispanic Navy recruits. The more traditional methods of comparing factor structures and validating by nomological network were also used and compared with the multidimensional scaling method. Substantively, 79 Mainstream and 82 Hispanic Navy recruits were compared on the three 'usable' subscales to investigate the relative effects of acculturation into Mainstream culture and non-conformity on locus of control beliefs. No significant differences were found. Acculturation was unrelated to locus of control, except for the Just-Unjust World subscale, in which the relation was curvilinear. In addition, bicultural Hispanics were more external than the less bicultural Hispanics on the Difficult-Easy World subscale. (Author).

Download or read book Personality and Person Perception Across Cultures written by Yueh-Ting Lee and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither human nature nor personality can be independent of culture. Human beings share certain social norms or rules within their cultural groups. Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle held that man is by nature a social animal. Similarly, Xun Kuang (298-238 B.C.), a Chinese philosopher, pointed out that humans in social groups can not function without shared guidance or rules. This book is designed to provide readers with a perspective on how people are different from, and similar to, each other --both within and across cultures. One of its goals is to offer a practical guide for people preparing to interact with those whose cultural background is different from their own.

Download or read book Latinos in a Changing Society written by Edwin Meléndez and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-02-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the importance of Latino issues in the current social and economic times, the publication of Latinos in a Changing Society is both timely and prescient in its contributions to the current discourse of how Latinos are being influenced by U.S. norms and culture and how Latinos are also affecting U.S. society. This volume contributes to our need for comprehensive analysis of how Latin communities compare and contrast with other underserved groups. It also examines how changes are taking place within specific Latino groups particularly between first and second generation Cubans, returning Puerto Ricans, Dominican poverty, and emergent Mexican leaders in the New England area. The opportunities that Latinos and dominant mainstream interests share are identified in this volume, but so are the many areas in need of change. In this current atmosphere of anger and suspicion toward immigrants, this volume presents an analytical perspective that is too often absent from politically motivated debates about Latinos and their role in a changing society. Undocumented immigrants are often portrayed as people who come to this country to take advantage of a generous welfare system contributing little to the economic and social development of the country. This volume critically examines issues such as the Latino commitment to labor participation, the ways that Latino parents engage in schools and in their communities, health access and social programs, the policing concerns within the Latino community, the academic adjustments made by Latino college students as well as the educational opportunities that exist for Latinos across the country. Unlike publications that seek to summarize knowledge about the Latino population in the United States, Latinos in a Changing Society provides a broader range of insights into the types of policy analysis, research, and public consciousness needed to advance the educational, social, cultural, and political participation and incorporation of Latinos in the new century. This volume critically examines such issues as the disparity in poverty among Latino groups, the lack of access to health services, the Latino commitment to labor participation, the ways that Latino parents engage in schools and in their communities, and the educational dropout rates of Latinos across the country and the underlying causes of those rates. Unlike publications that seek to summarize knowledge about the Latino population in the United States, Latinos in a Changing Society provides a broader range of insights into the types of policy analysis, research, and public consciousness needed to advance the educational, social, cultural, and political participation and incorporation of Latinos in the new century.
