Cultural Orientation in southeast asian american young adults
Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, 2008Co-Authors: Yuwen YingAbstract:: The study assessed Cultural Orientation in a group of 188 Southeast Asian American American-born and early-arriving (by age 5) young adults using the General Ethnicity Questionnaire--Southeast Asian and American versions. The sample included 98 Vietnamese, 45 Cambodian, and 45 Hmong college students in California. As hypothesized and in support of the bidimensional model, overall Orientation to ethnic and American cultures were independent of each other, and predicted, respectively, by ethnic and American Cultural domains. The three ethnic groups did not vary on level of Cultural Orientation, but their endorsement of ethnic and American cultures differed across domains. Specifically, they enjoyed American mass media and Cultural activities more than ethnic media and activities, and were more fluent in English than their ethnic language. However, they expressed greater ethnic pride and a stronger overall Southeast Asian Orientation than American pride and Orientation.

Cultural Orientation in Asian American Adolescents Variation by Age and Ethnic Density
Youth & Society, 2007Co-Authors: Yuwen Ying, Sandra L. WongAbstract:The study assessed variation in Cultural Orientation among Asian American adolescents by age and ethnic density in the community. A total of 128 students at a public high school in Oakland, California, participated in the study. Of these early and middle adolescents, 86 were Chinese American and 42 were Southeast Asian American. They completed the General Ethnicity Questionnaire—Ethnic and American versions, which assessed Cultural Orientation in the domains of Cultural pride, language, social affiliation, food, and recreation. Middle adolescents reported a stronger ethnic Orientation in the domains of social affiliation and recreation and weaker American Orientation in the domains of food and language use (English) than early adolescents. Furthermore, Chinese Americans, residing in an ethnically dense community, reported a stronger ethnic Orientation in the domains of language and food and a weaker American Orientation in language than their Southeast Asian American peers with less access to their ethnic...

migration and Cultural Orientation an empirical test of the psychoanalytic theory in chinese americans
Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, 2001Co-Authors: Yuwen YingAbstract:The psychoanalytic literature suggests migration entails an intra-psychic challenge of separation–individuation that necessitates the assistance of internal and external objects. While this has been illustrated by anecdotal data and clinical case material, it has not been previously tested in the general migrant community. This study examined three Chinese-American groups who varied in the availability of external objects (i.e., primary caretakers) and stability and solidity of internal object and self representations due to varying developmental stages at the time of migration, and assessed whether, as predicted by some psychoanalytic writers, they would have differential need to embrace their native culture to support their transition. Results showed that unaccompanied minors who migrated without their parents during adolescence evidenced a stronger Chinese Cultural Orientation than both accompanied minors who migrated with their parents during childhood (perhaps due to less access to external objects) and unaccompanied adults who migrated without their parents during adulthood (perhaps due to less well internalized objects), lending empirical support for the psychoanalytic postulation. Implications of the findings for future research and intervention are discussed.

Relationship of young adult Chinese Americans with their parents: variation by migratory status and Cultural Orientation.
American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 2001Co-Authors: Yuwen Ying, Jeanne L Tsai, B A Malisa TsangAbstract:: To examine whether Chinese and American Cultural Orientations mediate the association between migratory status and parent relationship, 122 American-born, 121 early-immigrant, and 110 late-immigrant Chinese young adults were measured on Cultural Orientation and parent relationship. The poorest relationships were found in the early-immigrant group. Cultural Orientation mediated the difference in parent relationship between early and late immigrant groups, but not between early-immigrant and American-born groups. Implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed.

Cultural Orientation and racial discrimination predictors of coherence in chinese american young adults
Journal of Community Psychology, 2000Co-Authors: Yuwen Ying, Jeanne L TsaiAbstract:The study examined the contribution of domain-specific Cultural Orientation and racial discrimination to subjective competence (as measured by sense of coherence) in American-born and immigrant Chinese American young adults. It was hypothesized that sense of coherence would be more strongly predicted by domain-specific Cultural Orientation for immigrants, but by racial discrimination for American-borns. A total of 122 American-born and 231 immigrant Chinese American college students living in a multiCultural setting participated in this study. As hypothesized, domain-specific Cultural Orientation more strongly predicted sense of coherence for immigrants (coherence varied by Cultural Orientation on all three life domains studied) than for American-borns (coherence varied by Cultural Orientation on only one domain). Also, racial discrimination more strongly predicted sense of coherence for American-borns than immigrants. Implications of the findings are discussed. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Cultural Orientation and its associations with alcohol use by university students in china
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Shiyuan Wang, Ian M Newman, Duane F ShellAbstract:Cultural Orientation is defined as an individual’s Cultural preferences when encountering imported culture while still living in the native culture. Data was analyzed from 1305 Chinese university students attending universities in Beijing, Kunming, and Wuhan. Cultural Orientation was assessed with the Chinese Cultural Orientation Questionnaire, which assesses both Western and Traditional Chinese Cultural Orientations. The analysis used hierarchical logistic regression with nondrinkers as the reference group and controlling for demographic factors (age, gender, and urban/rural background). Western Cultural Orientation was found to significantly increase the odds of recent drinking. The results indicated that higher Western Cultural Orientation was, after gender, the second most important factor associated with Chinese college student drinking frequency. Traditional Chinese Cultural Orientation was not associated with drinking frequency. This study highlights an unexpected outcome of globalization on students who have not left their home cultures.

The Association between Cultural Orientation andDrinking Behaviors among University Students inWuhan, China
2014Co-Authors: Hongxiu Tang, Duane F Shell, Hongjing Wang, Qing Zhang, Ling Qian, Ian M NewmanAbstract:Objectives: This study examines the association between Cultural Orientation and drinking behaviors among university students. Cultural Orientation is the measure of how the Cultural values of individuals living in their own society are influenced by Cultural values introduced from the outside. Methods: In 2011, a cross-sectional survey collected data from 1279 university students from six universities in central China. Participants used a likert scale to rank a series of statements reflecting Cultural values from the previously validated Chinese Cultural Orientation Scale and answered questions about their drinking behaviors and socio-demographic characteristics. Results: Statistically significant differences in Cultural Orientation were observed for gender, hometown and type of university attendance. Traditional-oriented students were more likely to be occasional drinkers or nondrinkers, while marginal-oriented students, biCultural-oriented students and western-oriented students were more likely to be regular drinkers. BiCultural Orientation (OR= 1.80, P,0.05) and marginal Orientation (OR= 1.64, P,0.05) increased the likelihood of the student being regular drinking, compared to students with traditional Orientations. Males (OR= 4.40, P,0.05) had a higher likelihood of regular drinking than females, graduate students (OR= 2.59, P,0.05) had a higher likelihood of regular drinking than undergraduates, students from urban areas (OR= 1.79, P,0.05) had a higher likelihood of regular drinking than those from towns/rural areas, and students attending key universities (OR= 0.48, P,0.05) had a lower likelihood of regular drinking than those attending general universities. Conclusions: Cultural Orientation influences drinking behaviors. Traditional Cultural Orientation was associated with less drinking while western Cultural Orientation, marginal Cultural Orientation and biCultural Orientation were associated with more drinking. The role of gender, hometown and university attendance is partially moderated through the influence of Cultural Orientation. The relationship between a traditional Cultural Orientation and alcohol drinking suggests that traditional Chinese Cultural values should be examined for their role in possibly reducing alcohol-related risks through education and policy initiatives.

the influence of Cultural Orientation alcohol expectancies and self efficacy on adolescent drinking behavior in beijing
Addiction, 2010Co-Authors: Duane F Shell, Ian M Newman, Fang XiaoyiAbstract:Objective We hypothesized that the drinking behavior of adolescents in China is influenced by expectancies and self-efficacy and that adolescents' Cultural Orientation towards western versus traditional Chinese values influences expectancies, self-efficacy and drinking behavior, with western values leading to more dysfunctional patterns of beliefs and drinking, and that these beliefs are influenced by students' gender and school environment. Methods A total of 1020 high school students from Beijing completed the Chinese Adolescent Alcohol Expectancy, the Chinese Cultural Orientation and the Chinese Self-regulation Self-efficacy questionnaires. Results Results generally confirmed our hypotheses. Higher negative expectancies and higher self-efficacy reduced the likelihood of drinking significantly. Higher positive expectancies increased the likelihood of regular drinking but not occasional drinking. Having western Cultural Orientation increased the likelihood of drinking. Higher levels of western Cultural Orientation also increased positive expectancies, lowered negative expectancies and lowered self-efficacy. Having more western (less traditional) views towards traditional Chinese values decreased positive and negative expectancies. Gender influenced beliefs, with males having higher positive and lower negative expectancies, lower self-efficacy and more traditional Cultural Orientation. Students in key and general schools had less traditional Cultural Orientation and key school students had higher self-efficacy. Conclusions Results indicate that Cultural Orientation influences adolescent drinking and this influence is mediated partially through Cultural Orientation influences on adolescent drinking expectancies and self-efficacy. Having more western and less traditional Chinese Cultural Orientation leads to more drinking, lower self-efficacy for regulating drinking and more risk-promoting alcohol expectancies. Language: en

the impact of power on information processing depends on Cultural Orientation
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Carlos J Torelli, Sharon ShavittAbstract:Two studies show that different Culturally based concepts of interpersonal power have distinct implications for information processing. People with a vertical individualist (VI) Cultural Orientation view power in personalized terms (power is for gaining status over and recognition by others), whereas people with a horizontal collectivist (HC) Cultural Orientation view power in socialized terms (power is for benefitting and helping others). The distinct goals associated with these power concepts are served by different mindsets, such as stereotyping others versus learning the individuating needs of others. Therefore, for high-VI individuals, making personalized power salient increases stereotyping in processing product information. That is, they recognize better information that is congruent with their prior product expectations, relative to their recognition of incongruent information. In contrast, for high-HC people, making socialized power salient increases individuating processes, characterized by better memory for incongruent information.

what is the relation between Cultural Orientation and socially desirable responding
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2006Co-Authors: Ashok K Lalwani, Sharon Shavitt, Timothy P JohnsonAbstract:: Research suggests that collectivists are more likely to engage in deception and socially desirable responding to maintain good relationships with others. In contrast, individualists are portrayed as candid and sincere because individualism encourages people to "be yourself." The authors propose that people with both types of Cultural Orientations or backgrounds engage in desirable responding, albeit in distinct ways. In Study 1, respondents from the United States compared with those from Singapore, and European Americans compared with Asian Americans, scored higher on self-deceptive enhancement (SDE)-the tendency to see oneself in a positive light and to give inflated assessment of one's skills and abilities- but lower on impression management (IM) by misrepresenting their self-reported actions to appear more normatively appropriate. In Studies 2 to 4, horizontal individualism as a Cultural Orientation correlated with SDE but not with IM, whereas horizontal collectivism correlated with IM but not with SDE. Further analyses examining (a) individual differences in the tendency to answer deceptively and (b) responses to behavioral scenarios shed additional light on the Culturally relevant goals served by these distinct types of socially desirable responding.

emotional intensity as a function of psychological distance and Cultural Orientation
Journal of Business Research, 2005Co-Authors: Nancy Wong, Richard P. BagozziAbstract:Abstract This study investigates emotional intensity as a function of psychological distance and Cultural Orientation (strong vs. weak filial piety) for Chinese (N=262) and American (N=200) students. Subjects read four scenarios that depicted moral or ethical situations in which a protagonist injured another person through their actions. Subjects responded to each scenario four times by expressing how they would feel if they, their father (or brother depending on the scenario), their best friend, and a complete stranger were the victim. Anger, sadness, resentment, and contempt were measured toward each target person in each scenario. It was found that Americans expressed less psychological distance between in-group and out-group members than Chinese. Toward in-group members (father, brother, or close friend), Americans exhibited greater psychological distance than Chinese. Felt emotional intensity was found to decrease with psychological distance for Americans and Chinese, and Americans were less likely to incorporate close others as extensions of self than Chinese. Contrary to predictions, Americans actually showed greater psychological distance toward out-group members (strangers) than Chinese.
