A bidimensional acculturation framework cannot account for multiple destination cultures within contemporary settlement societies. A tridimensional model is proposed and tested among Jamaican adolescent-mother dyads in the United States compared to Jamaican Islander, European American, African American, and other Black and non-Black U.S. immigrant dyads (473 dyads, M adolescent age = 14 years). Jamaican immigrants evidence tridimensional acculturation, orienting toward Jamaican, African American, and European American cultures. Integration is favored (70%), particularly tricultural integration; moreover, Jamaican and other Black U.S. immigrants are more oriented toward African American than European American culture. Jamaican immigrant youth adapt at least as well as nonimmigrant peers in Jamaica and the United States. However, assimilated adolescents, particularly first generation immigrants, have worse sociocultural adaptation than integrated and separated adolescents.
二维文化适应框架无法解释当代定居社会中存在的多种目标文化。本文提出并测试了一个三维模型，该模型比较了美国的牙买加青少年-母亲对子与牙买加岛民、欧洲裔美国人、非裔美国人和其他美国移民的黑人和非黑人对子（473 对子，青少年母亲年龄=14 岁）。牙买加移民表现出三维文化适应，倾向于牙买加、非裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人的文化。他们更倾向于融合（70%），尤其是三种文化的融合；此外，牙买加和其他美国黑人移民比欧洲裔美国人更倾向于非裔美国人的文化。牙买加移民青年的适应能力至少与牙买加和美国的非移民同龄人一样好。然而，同化的青少年，特别是第一代移民，其社会文化适应能力比融合和分离的青少年差。
