Psychological research has begun considering the dynamics involved in majority-group acculturation, which is the extent to which cultural majority groups adopt the culture of immigrants and minority groups. However, previous research has predominantly concentrated on reactions to 'immigrants' or 'minority groups' as a homogenous entity, overlooking the nuanced perceptions and varied valuations attributed to different groups. Recognizing the heterogeneity among immigrant and minority groups, the present work investigated the influence of several perceived characteristics of immigrant and minority groups on majority-group members' adoption of their cultures. Specifically, in three pre-registered studies-one correlational (N = 201, N = 2814) and two within-subjects experimental (N = 144 and 146, N = 720 and 730) designs with close to politically representative samples from the U.K. and U.S. -majority-group members were more willing to adopt immigrant and minority-group cultures that they perceived as warm, competent and moral because these perceptions made immigrants and minority groups seem indispensable to the identity and economy of the mainstream society. Our studies highlight the importance of considering the differentiated acculturation that majority-group members have to various groups within the same national context. We discuss the societal and cultural repercussions of this selective uptake of other cultures.
心理学研究已开始关注多数群体文化适应过程中的动态变化，多数群体文化适应指的是文化占主导地位的群体接受移民和少数群体文化的程度。然而，以往的研究主要集中在将“移民”或“少数群体”视为一个同质化的实体，而忽略了对不同群体的细微认知和不同评价。认识到移民群体和少数群体之间的异质性，本研究调查了移民群体和少数群体的一些被感知特征对多数群体成员接受其文化的影响。具体而言，在三项预先注册的研究中——一项相关性研究（N = 201，N = 2814）和两项被试内实验研究（N = 144和146，N = 720和730），样本来自英国和美国，接近政治代表性样本——多数群体成员更愿意接受他们认为热情、有能力且有道德的移民和少数群体文化，因为这些认知使移民和少数群体对主流社会的身份认同和经济发展显得不可或缺。我们的研究强调了在同一国家背景下考虑多数群体成员对不同群体的差异化文化适应的重要性。我们讨论了这种对其他文化的选择性接受所带来的社会和文化影响。
