With increasing rates of globalization, understanding the cultural factors that promote positive adaptation in migrant children and adolescents is vital. In prior research, acculturation and enculturation frameworks often rely on unidimensional or bidimensional conceptions of culture to study the effects of migration on child and adolescent development. However, the contemporary strategies that migrant children and adolescents utilize to navigate multicultural contexts remain undertheorized. Therefore, we advance an interdisciplinary framework that describes the factors and processes that affect migrant child and adolescent development across four contexts: global, macrosystem, microsystem, and the individual level. Additionally, conceptualizations of cultural adaptation are broadened in our framework by examining the intersections of community cultural wealth, cultural preservation, and cultural restoration. We highlight the importance of prioritizing the culture and experiential knowledge of migrant children and adolescents in the development of policy, research, and practice, to support their positive adaptation in a globalized society.
随着全球化进程的加速，了解促进移民儿童和青少年积极适应的文化因素至关重要。在先前的研究中，文化适应和文化传承框架通常依赖于文化的单维或二维概念来研究移民对儿童和青少年发展的影响。然而，移民儿童和青少年在多元文化背景中所采用的当代策略仍缺乏理论阐释。因此，我们提出了一个跨学科框架，该框架描述了在全球、宏观系统、微观系统和个体层面这四个背景下影响移民儿童和青少年发展的因素及过程。此外，我们的框架通过审视社区文化财富、文化保护和文化复兴的交叉点，拓宽了文化适应的概念。我们强调在政策制定、研究和实践中优先考虑移民儿童和青少年的文化及经验知识的重要性，以支持他们在全球化社会中的积极适应。
