using computer mediated communication as a tool for exploring the impact of Cultural Identity clarity on psychological well being
Basic and Applied Social Psychology, 2012Co-Authors: Esther Usborne, Donald M TaylorAbstract:Recent theory and research have pointed to the importance of Cultural Identity clarity for psychological well-being (e.g., Taylor, 2002; Usborne & Taylor, 2010). The present research is an initial attempt to manipulate Cultural Identity clarity in a laboratory setting and examine its impact on state psychological well-being. In a laboratory experiment, participants were led to experience a clear or an unclear Cultural Identity during a computer-mediated interaction. For participants who highly identified with their Cultural group, negotiating a computer-mediated social interaction with a clear Cultural Identity led to the highest levels of well-being compared to negotiating this interaction with an unclear Cultural Identity. Feelings of personal uncertainty were explored as a mechanism explaining the relationship between Cultural Identity clarity and well-being.

the role of Cultural Identity clarity for self concept clarity self esteem and subjective well being
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2010Co-Authors: Esther Usborne, Donald M TaylorAbstract:Knowing oneself and experiencing oneself as clearly defined has been linked to positive self-esteem and psychological well-being; however, this association has been tested only at the level of personal Identity. The authors propose that a clear Cultural Identity provides the individual with a clear prototype with which to engage the processes necessary to construct a clear personal Identity and, by extension, to achieve self-esteem and well-being. For samples of undergraduate students, Anglophone Quebecers, Francophone Quebecois, Chinese North Americans, and Aboriginal Canadians, Cultural Identity clarity was positively related to self-concept clarity, self-esteem, and markers of subjective well-being. The relationship between Cultural Identity clarity and both self-esteem and well-being was consistently mediated by self-concept clarity. Interventions designed to clarify Cultural Identity might have psychological benefits for individuals facing Cultural Identity challenges.

limited adoption of short rotation coppice the role of farmers socio Cultural Identity in influencing practice
Journal of Rural Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Charles R Warren, Rob J F Burton, Olivia Buchanan, Richard V BirnieAbstract:Abstract UK energy policy promotes biomass energy crops as potentially significant contributors to renewable energy targets, but few farmers have planted these crops. Amongst the many possible explanations for this disconnect between policy ambitions and delivery on the ground, the role of farmers' socio-Cultural Identity has received little attention. This study focuses on the Lockerbie area in south-west Scotland, a potentially favourable location for perennial energy crops because (i) it is biophysically suitable for short rotation coppice (SRC) willow, and (ii) Britain's first wood-fueled power station provides a significant local market. A survey in 2009 explored farmers' perceptions of SRC willow, and the key reasons why they adopt or reject perennial energy crops. The results show that most farmers regard SRC willow as a financially risky, overly committing and inappropriate crop for their farms. Whilst financial factors are influential, even large potential profits would be insufficient to persuade many farmers to adopt SRC. Non-financial factors related to Identity, lifestyle, farming culture and the perceived priority of food production powerfully shape the overwhelmingly negative attitudes of farmers to SRC. These findings suggest that biomass energy policy, especially regarding woody crops like SRC willow, needs to be more precisely tailored to influential social factors such as socio-Cultural Identity and local producer culture.

the dynamic nature of Cultural Identity throughout Cultural transitions why home is not so sweet
Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2000Co-Authors: Nan M SussmanAbstract:This article describes the social psychological process that underlies the Cultural transition of sojourners. Herein the empirical and theoretical literature on Cultural transitions (and in particular Cultural repatriation and the relevant literature on self-concept and Identity) is analyzed, critiqued, and synthesized in an attempt to understand the near ubiquitous distress experienced during repatriation. The relation among self-concept, Cultural Identity, and Cultural transitions is explored, and in light of the paucity of comprehensive repatriation models, a new predictive model is proposed that explicates these relations. Shifts in Cultural Identity are classified as subtractive, additive, affirmative, or interCultural, and research directions are suggested.

te whariki tuakiri the Identity mat māori elite athletes and the expression of ethno Cultural Identity in global sport
Sport in Society, 2014Co-Authors: Bevan Erueti, Farah PalmerAbstract:Māori (indigenous people of New Zealand) athletes who participate in elite-level sport are a very diverse social group, many of whom function adaptively in the high echelons of sport in Aotearoa New Zealand society and on the world stage. This article proposes one major question: how do Māori athletes weave their Māori Identity publicly and privately in a global sporting context? Utilizing an amalgamation of Kaupapa Māori theory,1 critical race theory and narrative inquiry approaches exposes a negotiation of ethno-Cultural identities in both public and private ways. The narratives of Māori elite athletes identify how they experience ethno-Cultural Identity through the implementation of tikanga Māori2 and Matauranga Māori (Māori knowledge and Cultural practices) and how these practices impact on their identities as Māori, athletes, New Zealanders and a team in the public domain of the Olympic and/or Commonwealth Games. The private rituals and personal explorations of ethno-Cultural Identity by Māori athlet...
