Predictors of majority members' acculturation preferences: experimental evidence
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 15:37 authored by Hanna Zagefka, Linda Tip, Roberto Gonzalez, Rupert Brown, Marco CinnirellaA study was conducted to test experimentally whether majority members' perceptions of which acculturation strategies minority members prefer would causally impact on majority members' own acculturation preferences, especially their preference for integration. Participants (N=113) were exposed to videos in which actors who posed as Pakistani minority members voiced different acculturation preferences (integration, assimilation, separation or control condition). Their views were presented as representative of their ethnic group. The effect of this on white British majority participants' own acculturation preferences was measured. As expected, perceived acculturation preferences significantly impacted on own acculturation preferences. In line with predictions, participants' level of prejudice significantly moderated these effects.
