The Reaffirmation of Cultural Identity in Cross-cultural Encounters.
Kosmitzki, Corinne
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, v22 n3 p238-48 Mar 1996
Examines the relationship between cultural contact and cultural identity as conceptualized in two research approaches: social identity theory and acculturation. The groups studied were German and Americans who either lived in their nonnative culture or had no direct contact. Comparisons between bicultural and monocultural groups revealed a reaffirmation effect. (JPS)
