Abstract

We examined the relationship between ethnic identity (EI), family ethnic socialization (FES), heritage language ability (HLA), and desire to learn a heritage language (HLD) in a sample of 91 U.S. psychology graduate students. We had four main findings. First, HLD had a significant positive relation with EI (24.9%). Second, FES had a significant positive relation with EI (33.8%). Above and beyond FES, HLD uniquely accounted for 10.9% of the variance of EI. Third, HLA had a significant positive relation with EI (12.3%). Above and beyond HLA, HLD uniquely accounted for 12.7% of the variance of EI. Accounting for the contribution of HLD decreased the beta associated with HLA; a finding that suggests HLD may mediate the relation between HLA and EI. Fourth, the combined contribution of FES and HLA accounted for approximately 36.3% of the variance of EI. HLD had a significant positive relation to ethnic identity after the other the factors in this study were considered, in combination, and uniquely explained 9.0% of the variance of EI. Our results highlight the importance of considering internal factors, such as desire to learn a heritage language, when examining ethnic identity. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

超越家庭、族群社会化与传承语言能力:传承语言学习欲望与族群认同的关系

我们以91名美国心理学研究生为样本，研究了种族认同（EI）、家庭种族社会化（FES）、传统语言能力（HLA）和学习传统语言的愿望（HLD）之间的关系。我们有四个主要发现。首先，HLD与EI呈显著正相关（24.9%），其次，FES与EI呈明显正相关（33.8%），在FES之上和之上，HLD仅占EI方差的10.9%。第三，HLA与EI呈显著正相关（12.3%），HLD在EI变异中占12.7%。考虑到HLD的作用，降低了与HLA相关的β；提示HLD可能介导HLA和EI之间的关系。第四，FES和HLA的联合贡献约占EI方差的36.3%。在综合考虑本研究中的其他因素后，HLD与种族认同呈显著正相关，并唯一解释了9.0%的EI方差。我们的研究结果强调了在考察种族认同时考虑内部因素的重要性，例如学习传统语言的愿望。讨论了对实践的启示和对未来研究的建议。
