Heritage culture detachment occurs when migrants tend to distance themselves from their own cultural norms and values as they engage their host culture; research suggests that this approach to acculturation is often associated with psychological distress. We explore heritage culture detachment and well-being among Filipino migrant workers in Macau. Participants ( = 249) were recruited to answer a questionnaire that inquired into heritage culture detachment and several measures of well-being. The relationships between well-being and heritage culture detachment were examined by testing two structural equation models: Model 1: well-being predicts heritage culture detachment; Model 2: heritage culture detachment predicts well-being. The results show better fit between the data and Model 2; in particular, heritage culture detachment positively predicted satisfaction with life, external-peer locus-of-hope, but also negative self-esteem, and goal disengagement. Heritage culture detachment also negatively predicted external-spiritual locus-of-hope. The results are interpreted as possibly indicating how heritage culture detachment reflects efforts to adjust and cope in a new sociocultural environment. Unlike other migrants, international migrant workers may see their foreign work environment as temporary contexts and circumstances, wherein subordinating their cultural norms may have some utility. The discussion highlights how sources of well-being need to be understood within the specific temporal and sociocultural context of individuals' life experiences.
当移民在融入东道国文化时倾向于远离自己的文化规范和价值观，就会出现文化传承疏离现象；研究表明，这种文化适应方式往往与心理困扰有关。我们探讨了澳门菲律宾移民工人中的文化传承疏离与幸福感。招募了249名参与者回答一份问卷，该问卷询问了文化传承疏离情况以及几项幸福感指标。通过测试两个结构方程模型来检验幸福感与文化传承疏离之间的关系：模型1：幸福感预测文化传承疏离；模型2：文化传承疏离预测幸福感。结果显示数据与模型2的拟合度更好；特别是，文化传承疏离正向预测了生活满意度、外部同伴希望源，但也预测了消极自尊和目标脱离。文化传承疏离还负向预测了外部精神希望源。这些结果被解释为可能表明文化传承疏离如何反映了在新的社会文化环境中进行调整和应对的努力。与其他移民不同，国际移民工人可能将他们的国外工作环境视为临时的背景和情况，在这种情况下，服从他们的文化规范可能有一定作用。讨论强调了需要在个人生活经历的特定时间和社会文化背景中理解幸福感的来源。
