Recent research points toward the utility of the pluralist (multicultural) model as a viable alternative to the traditional assimilation model of cultural integration. In this study, we extend this work by evaluating when and to what extent feelings that members of a common group respect and value one's ethnic group membership (subgroup respect) shape social engagement and well-being. We do so in the context of a survey of students at a diverse, public high school. Subgroup respect was linked to more positive evaluations of both school authorities and students from ethnic outgroups as well as to lower levels of school disengagement. Consistent with past research, these relationships held only among ethnic minority groups (African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos) but not among Whites. Findings about the relationship between subgroup respect and indicators of well-being were more mixed, with the relationship most evident among Asians Americans and Latinos and especially on indicators of physical health. Implications for understanding the consequences of pluralism are discussed in light of the observed ethnic group differences.
最近的研究表明,多元文化(多元)模式作为文化融合的传统同化模式的可行替代方案具有实用性。在这项研究中,我们通过评估共同群体的成员何时以及在何种程度上对一个人的族群成员身份(亚群体尊重)表示尊重和重视,来扩展这项工作,从而影响社会参与和幸福感。我们在对一所多元化的公立高中学生进行调查的背景下这样做。亚群体尊重与对学校当局和来自少数民族群体的学生的更积极评价以及较低的学校脱离程度有关。与过去的研究一致,这些关系仅在少数族裔群体(非裔美国人、亚裔美国人和拉丁裔)中存在,而在白人群体中不存在。关于亚群体尊重与幸福感指标之间关系的发现更为复杂,这种关系在亚裔美国人和拉丁裔中最为明显,尤其是在身体健康指标上。根据观察到的族裔差异,讨论了理解多元主义后果的意义。
