This study posits that the theory-data inconsistency can be attributed to accelerated globalization, particularly, improved economic and political situations within traditionally under-developed or developing Asian nations.

Partially consistent with this study’s prediction, Asian nations with improved socio-political conditions manifested a decline in collectivism. However, these improvements with time did <em>not</em> predict an increase in individualism.

In this article, we examined reports of this association over a span of 44 years (1980–2023) to identify reasons for inconsistent results across studies, deriving implications and recommendations for theory building and research. A comprehensive PRISMA review yielded 44 empirical articles with a total sample of over 32,130 Latina women. Through a rigorous process, we uncovered how acculturation has been conceptualized and measured, as well as the nature of the association between acculturation and breast cancer screening across studies. In the 43 studies for which information was available, acculturation was measured 35 different ways. Only seven articles included a definition of acculturation and a conceptualization linking the construct to screening. Findings were mixed; the highest proportion of studies showed no link across constructs. Inconsistent results may be due to (a) a lack of clear definitions or conceptualizations, (b) the use of proxies and unilinear measures, (c) the use of modified and unvalidated measures, and (d) large sample variation across age, ancestry, and geographic location. Given inconsistent findings, no definitive conclusions can be made regarding the association between acculturation and screening behaviors. Results suggest that in future studies, acculturation should be measured as a latent construct with a greater focus on structural factors that may contribute to low screening rates</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140606714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We expected that the preferred way of acculturating would depend on some contextual characteristics, such as cultural distance and the state policy towards the ethnic minority. In each of the two countries, the members of two generations of Russians were surveyed, including adults who were socialized during Soviet time and those whose socialization occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The results allow us to conclude that in a cultural context that is culturally similar and with a restrictive sociopolitical climate (Estonia), the adaptation of an ethnic minority generation-to-generation changes from the strategy of assimilation to integration. In a context characterized by a larger cultural distance, and a more inclusive sociopolitical climate (Kyrgyzstan), the adaptation of an ethnic minority generation-to-generation goes in the opposite direction: from the older generation's attempts to integrate towards assimilation among the younger generation.

Adapting the activities based on their responses, we co-constructed with each other during the workshop teacher identities with a sense of connectedness between intercultural education and other pedagogical forms. We observed preservice teachers as we facilitated their discussions, employing ethnographic approaches to immerse ourselves in the interactions of the workshop participants. The findings revealed that preservice teachers had become more mindful of the implications of their intercultural education practices after having reflective dialogues with each other. However, although the teachers successfully integrated each other’s views about intercultural education practices, this could not be sustained when they attempted to contextualize these efforts. The teachers could not reconcile their disparate childhood experiences with cultural diversity as students graduating from schools with differing academic performance rankings (school banding).
