Abstract

ABSTRACT Children of immigrants are at risk of underachieving in school with long-lasting consequences for future life-chances. Our research contextualises the achievement gap by examining minority acculturation experiences in daily intergroup contact across different intergroup contexts. Acculturation researchers often find an adaptive advantage for minority youth with an integration-orientation (combining both cultures). But findings from Europe are inconclusive. Looking beyond individual differences in acculturation-orientations, this review shifts focus to the intergroup context of minority acculturation and achievement. We discuss longitudinal, multi-group, multi-level and experimental evidence of the up- and downsides of integration for minority inclusion and success in European societies. Our studies show that both (1) intergroup contact experiences and (2) intergroup ideologies affect achievement – either directly or through the interplay of (3) acculturation-norms, defined as shared views on acculturation in social groups, with individual acculturation-orientations. The findings suggest how schools can reduce achievement gaps through improving intergroup relations.

适应:群体间环境如何影响少数民族的文化适应和成就

摘要移民的子女有可能在学校成绩不佳，并对未来的生活机会产生长期影响。我们的研究通过在不同的群体间背景下考察少数群体在日常群体间接触中的文化适应经历，将成就差距置于情境中。文化适应研究人员经常发现，少数民族青年具有适应优势，具有融合取向（将两种文化结合在一起）。但来自欧洲的研究结果并没有定论。超越个体在文化适应取向上的差异，这篇综述将重点转移到少数民族文化适应和成就的群体间背景上。我们讨论了纵向、多群体、多层次和实验性的证据，证明融合对欧洲社会少数群体包容和成功的有利和不利影响。我们的研究表明，（1）群体间接触经历和（2）群体间意识形态都会直接或通过（3）文化适应规范与个人文化适应取向的相互作用影响成就。研究结果表明，学校如何通过改善群体间关系来缩小成绩差距。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
