Given the considerable variability in drinking practices among Asian American groups, the generalizations that suggest an increase in their alcohol use associated with acculturation need to be questioned. Also, the experience of children of immigrants growing up in the United States may be much more complex than a focus on acculturation can capture. Informed by the theory of segmented assimilation, this study addresses two research questions: (1) Is acculturation associated with alcohol use of Korean American adolescents? and (2) What other social, economic, and cultural forces influence their alcohol use? Survey data were collected from 202 adolescents of Korean descent. Multivariate regression analyses revealed that acculturation was not a significant predictor of most measures of alc...
Several factors have allowed the foundation to become a reality, including the establishment of the National Museum of the American Indian, the Institute of American Indian Arts, plus regional networks and organizations who support Native artists. The foundation is likely to spur a cultural renaissance across Native America after a long, storied history of assimilation, acculturation and federal policies intended to stamp out culture, art and languages, said Echo-Hawk.

The prevalence of substance use behavior and the personal characteristics and social and cultural factors that influence substance use among children have been studied extensively. However, much less attention has been directed at the attitudes towards, and particularly the perceived risks of, using substances, and even less research has focused on Hispanic youth, whose rates of substance use have been increasing. Understanding what factors are associated with perceived risk is important because there is evidence that perceived risk is associated with subsequent substance use. The current study uses longitudinal data collected from 553 children in the Cicero Youth Development (CYD) Project to identify individual and environmental factors associated with the perceived risk of substance u...

Mark Paul Richard, a Lewiston native, has written a book, "Loyal but French: The Negotiation of Identity by French-Canadian Descendants in the United States," that offers a new perspective on how immigrants become Americanized. He challenges prevailing notions of assimilation, believing that "acculturation" better describes the roundabout way some ethnic groups join their host society.

This article examines the effect of culture on entrepreneurial cognition in Native Americans. Traditional concepts of culture as linear, pervasive, and exclusive in a society are modified to reflect recent research in social cognition that indicates culture is much more fragmented and complex than previously believed. This new view of culture acquisition explains how people who embrace two cultures (bicultural) decide to respond to environmental cues concerning new venture creation.

In other words, acculturation is a two-way street. The pattern among Mexican- Americans has been and is still mestizaje (mixture of blood lines), and assimilation in the melting-pot tradition, but in the process they are changing the American mainstream to encompass more MexicanAmerican influences. They eagerly adopt new consumer products, foods, fashions and recreational forms - and theirs become part of ours.
