Transculturation

Cross culture In basic history, it is a familiar lesson that conquered people adapt themselves to the mainstream culture of their conquistors. However, the process of how these two cultures interact is often not that simple. For example, the term traditional culture was conquered by the sociologist Fernando Oliz in the 1940's and was built to represent which side of the mainstream culture was chosen and selected (Pratt 589). . Unlike cultural adaptation, cross cultural culture recognizes the power of subordinate culture and creates its own mainstream cultural version.

In the current research, intercultural identity is used as a new operation of cultural identity based on intercultural concepts (Welsch 1995). Cross-cultural identity features distinct cultural boundaries and is formed by integrating ancestral culture, regional culture, and global culture into their identity (Welsch 2010). The resultant inhomogeneity occurs in various areas of daily life such as television, sports club, language, religion, annual festival, or music, food, series, movie clothing etc. The current survey investigates whether recognized discrimination is related to cross-cultural identity

The perceived impact of racial discrimination on mental health depends on cross-cultural identity: evidence of adjustment effect

To the extent that the author knows, so far no attempt has been made to empirically measure cross-cultural identity. This study quantifies cross-cultural identity and explores the relationship with basic indicators of recognized discrimination and psychological regulation, such as depression symptoms, anxiety, aggressive behavior, or anger control issues, It represents an effort. Specifically, it is important whether the recognized discrimination is related to poor psychological adjustment in adolescents with immigrant background, and whether general differences in psychological adjustment in adolescence with or without immigration background I checked whether there was.

This research will help to better understand the psychological adjustment of adolescents with a background of immigration. We studied its relationship with recognized discrimination and cross-cultural identity - a new operation of cultural identity -. Further research is needed to reveal the exact nature of cross-cultural identity, but the results of this study contain important theoretical and practical meanings. We show that perceived discrimination is associated with low psychological regulation of adolescents with a background of immigration. In addition, the current research shows evidence that a cross-cultural identity eases this relationship. Among young people who feel that they are not discriminated, young people with cross-cultural status have shown better psychological adjustment. This is consistent with the idea that cross-cultural identity brings great personal benefits.
