When immigrant youth come to the United States, they must learn to interact with dominant and cultural groups as part of the adjustment process. The current study investigated whether the association between Chinese immigrant high school students' (N = 286) English fluency, academic and career/ college help-seeking, multidimensional acculturation, family responsibilities, and social support, predicted their intercultural competence concerns (their interactions across dominant and cultural groups). Results indicate that this was the case. Implications for research and practice with immigrant youth in a high school context are discussed.
当移民青年来到美国时，作为适应过程的一部分，他们必须学会与主流文化群体进行互动。本研究调查了华裔移民高中生（N = 286）的英语流利程度、学业及职业/大学求助行为、多维度文化适应、家庭责任和社会支持之间的关联，是否能预测他们在跨文化能力方面的问题（即他们与主流文化群体和其他文化群体之间的互动）。结果表明情况确实如此。本文还讨论了在高中环境下对移民青年进行研究和实践的意义。
