Replicate cross-cultural psychosocial studies with additional samples and in-country comparison groups¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The authors recommend that cross-cultural findings warrant replication with additional sample groups of first-generation Asian immigrants, and that administering "the same test on Koreans in Korea would be helpful to determine the effect of immigration", which could also produce a Korean norm for the MPD. They further recommend comparing groups transferred between extremely different sociocultural environments and studying second-generation immigrants living in a dual culture.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Requires administering the same instrument to a comparison group in the country of origin, since pre-immigration testing of the same subjects was impossible

Constraints¶

• The study could not determine whether results reflect immigration or cross-cultural differences between the normative and immigrant groups

Target Learners¶

• adult first-generation immigrants
• second-generation immigrants

Target Learning Goals¶

• psychosocial identity development across cultures
