Abstract

Objectives

Having higher levels of mainstream cultural orientation (MCO), an important component of acculturation attitudes and behaviors, is beneficial for ethnic/racial minority students during the transitions into university. Scant research has investigated MCO at a micro daily timescale. This study examined how personality (agreeableness) functions in conjunction with interpersonal processes (inter-ethnic contact and perceived discrimination) to influence MCO as daily within-person processes.

Methods

Multi-level structural equation modeling were used to analyze month-long daily diary data from 209 ethnic/racial minority freshmen (69% female).

Results

There was a positive indirect association between agreeableness and MCO through inter-ethnic contact at both within- and between-person levels. At the within-person level, on days with lower (vs. higher) levels of ethnic/racial discrimination, higher levels of agreeableness were associated with higher levels of MCO.

Conclusions

These findings highlight the contributions of intensive longitudinal data in elucidating ethnic/racial minority students' personality and acculturation processes in daily life involving protective and risk factors on micro timescales.

少数民族/少数民族新生的日常宜人性和文化适应过程：种族间接触和感知歧视的作用。

目标：拥有更高水平的主流文化取向（MCO）是文化适应态度和行为的重要组成部分，有利于少数民族/种族学生在大学过渡期间。Scant研究已经在微观的日常时间尺度上对MCO进行了调查。本研究考察了人格（宜人性）如何与人际过程（种族间接触和感知歧视）相结合，影响MCO作为日常人内过程。方法：采用多层次结构方程模型对209名少数民族（69%为女性）大一新生一个月的日记数据进行分析。结果：通过人与人之间和人与人内部的种族间接触，宜人性与MCO之间存在正的间接联系。在人内层面，在种族/种族歧视水平较低（与较高）的日子里，宜人性水平较高与MCO水平较高相关。结论：这些发现突出了密集的纵向数据在微观时间尺度上阐明少数民族/种族学生日常生活中涉及保护和风险因素的个性和文化适应过程方面的贡献。
