Cultural Identity in Bicultural Young Adults in Ireland: A Social Representation Theory Approach
This research investigates the nature by which first- and second-generation Irish young adults of (1) African descent, (2) Asian descent, and (3) Eastern European descent explore their cultural identity(ies) through communicating and interpreting social representations relating to their ethnic and national cultures. Using Social Representation Theory (SRT) and, more widely, Proculturation Theory as the theoretical underpinning, we examine how grown children of migrants construct their cultural identity(ies) by exploring external social representations. We conducted three separate in-depth focus groups for each continental group in virtual rooms on Zoom, lasting between 60 and 90 mins. A thematic analysis was pursued to understand how the participants discussed the representation of their cultural groups both in social and media-driven situations. The results indicated the overarching themes of Anchoring Irishness and Latent Media Representation, whereby participants communicated and dialogically explored their subjective interpretations of the social representations of their cultural groups which, in turn, may have informed their cultural identity(ies). Highlighting the dynamic nature of the cultural reality of Ireland and how it impacts generations after the initial migration period, this research highlights and exemplifies the importance of external social representations that serve to construct the multiple cultural identities of first- and second-generation migrants
Types of Identification and Intergroup Differentiation in the Russian Federation
The fall of the Soviet Union affected the established identity patterns and intergroup
relations in the Russian Federation. A survey investigates the effect of
Russiansâ and titularsâ identifications with their ethnic group, their republic, and
the Russian Federation on intergroup stereotypes.We hypothesized that identification
at various inclusiveness levels is differently reflected in the positive/negative
stereotypes about in-group and out-groups. While in-group stereotypes would be
positively affected by all types of identification, out-group stereotypes would turn
more negative by ethnic identification and more positive by republican and federal
identification. Further, we expected that republican identification would improve
titularsâ in-group stereotypes and Russiansâ out-group stereotypes, while
federal identification would enhance Russiansâ in-group stereotypes and titularâs
out-group stereotypes. Russians favored their in-group mostly in positive terms.
Titular minorities favored their in-group mostly on negative stereotypes. A model of
intergroup differentiation is proposed that takes into account social identification
at different inclusiveness levels. This model makes clear the potential threat posed
by republican identifications to the stability of intergroup relations in Russia.
