Lastly, but most importantly, I thank God, who makes all things possible, and dedicate this dissertation to Him. v Abstract Rapidly increasing numbers of immigrant families with children in the U.S. have led researchers to study the dynamics of immigrant families, focusing particularly on discrepancies in the acculturation levels of parents and children. Many studies have found such an acculturation gap to be associated with problematic functioning, such as conflicts between family members and poor adjustment outcomes among immigrant youth. Other studies have found no such associations. In order to clarify this association, this dissertation conducted a meta-analysis of available studies. Literature searches identified 63 qualifying studies, in which 117 separate effect sizes were reported. Concentrating on main effects, the findings of the meta-analysis revealed small but significant average effects between an acculturation gap and each of three dependent variables: youth internalizing problems (r=.1), youth externalizing problems (r=.06), and family conflict (r=.15). Thus, the higher the acculturation gap, the higher the level of individual and family difficulty. Next, a series of moderator analyses were conducted to test the degree to which these main effects might be contingent on a variety of study and personal characteristics, as well on methodological features of how an acculturation gap is perceived, measured, and calculated. No significant moderation effects were found for age or country of origin. There were not adequate studies that reported separate effect sizes to test for youth gender differences. For internalizing problems only, the mean effect was higher for studies published in journals than in dissertations. The only significant finding from analyses using methodological features as moderators was that studies that assessed an acculturation gap in the specific domain of cultural values had a higher mean effect than studies that assessed the acculturation gap with a global acculturation index. vi In sum, the study confirms that within the currently available empirical literature, an acculturation gap between immigrant parents and children in North America is significantly associated with poorer family and individual youth functioning. These effects are systematic in that they held regardless of differences in various individual and study characteristics. Implications for application and research refinement are discussed. vii Table of Contents Chapter I: Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 Controversies over the Effect of an Acculturation Gap .............................................................. 2 Purpose of the Present Study ....................................................................................................... 6 Chapter II: Literature Review ......................................................................................................... 8 Background: Acculturation ......................................................................................................... 8 Acculturation Gap ..................................................................................................................... 12 The Acculturation Gap-Distress Model ................................................................................. 12 Findings Relative to Acculturation Gap and Child Adjustment ............................................... 14 Interpreting the Inconsistency in Empirical Findings Relative to the Acculturation Gap ........ 16 Conceptualization of Acculturation ....................................................................................... 16 Measurement of Acculturation Gap ...................................................................................... 21 Characteristics of Immigrant Children .................................................................................. 25 Other Factors ......................................................................................................................... 30 The Present Study...................................................................................................................... 31 Research Question 1 .............................................................................................................

  • Subculture and the Consumer Behavior
    SUBCULTURE AND THE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR 5 Apparently it seems that culture of a particular country or a society is homogeneous, but in reality it is composed of a larger number of more or less distinct groups. Each of these groups is known as a subculture. The knowledge of subculture provides important guidelines to marketers in formulating strategies for effective performance of marketing activities. School of Business Blank Page Unit-5 Page-120 Bangladesh Open University Lesson - 1 & - 2 : Different Types of Subculture and Their Influences on Consumption Objectives of these lessons After reading these lessons, you will be able to: Understand the subcultural context of consumer behavior Define subculture Identify different types of subcultures Know how different subcultures affect buying behavior Explain them for marketing decision making. Introduction Subculture is a part of the culture containing the important features of the main culture. In this lesson we shall highlight on the subcultural context, types of subcultures, subcultural influence on consumer behavior as well as marketing implications of the concept of subculture. Subcultural Context Affecting Consumer Behavior Culture, you know, is an extremely broad and encompassing term. It includes what we have learned, our history, values, morals, customs, art, and habit. Marketing takes place within a given culture. Marketers should know that experience, history, values, morals, customs, art, habit, etc. vary within a given culture requiring different marketing programs. Not everyone in the same country or society shares the same behavioral pattern of the dominant or main culture. It clearly indicates that there are subcultures, such as those of northerners, southerners, city-dwellers, the poor, teen agers, elderly, religious groups and so on.

  • The Adaptive Significance of Cultural Behavior
    Human Ecology, Vol. 4, No. 2, 1976 The Adaptive Significance of Cultural Behavior William H. Durham 1 In this article, I argue that human social behavior is a product of the eoevolution of human biology and culture. While critical of attempts by anthropologists to explain cultural practices as if they were independent of the ability of individual human beings to survive and reproduce, I am also leery of attempts by biologists to explain the consistencies between neo-Darwinian theory and cultural behavior as the result of natural selection for that behavior. Instead, I propose that both biological and cultural attributes of human beings result to a large degree from the selective retention of traits that enhance the inclusive fitnesses of individuals in their environments. Aspects of human biology and culture may be adaptive in the same sense despite differences between the mechanisms of selection and re- gardless of their relative importance in the evolution of a trait. The old idea that organic and cultural evolution are complementary can thus be used to provide new explanations ]'or why people do what they do. KEY WORDS: biological and cultural evolution; adaptiveness; fitness; cultural behavior. INTRODUC~ON For many years, biologists and anthropologists have realized that the or- ganic and the cultural evolution of human beings have been interdependent, mutually complementary processes (e.g., Roe and Simpson, 1958; Caspari, 1963; Dobzhansky, 1961, 1962, 1963; Montagu, 1962, 1968a,b;McBride, 1971). In anthropology, this realization prompted the analysis of cultures and social sys- tems as superorganic extensions of human adaptation (e.g., Cohen, 1974b; Meggers, 1971, 1973; Rappaport, 1969, 1971a,b; Sanders and Price, 1968; This article was prepared from remarks I presented at the Smithsonian Conference on Human Biogeography in April 1974.

  • Cross-Cultural Variations in Consumer Behavior: a Literature Review of International Studies
    South East European Journal of Economics and Business Volume 13 (2) 2018, 49-71 DOI: 10.2478/jeb-2018-0012 CROSS-CULTURAL VARIATIONS IN CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: A LITERATURE REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Timokhina Galina, Taylan Urkmez, Wagner Ralf Abstract This study presents a review of 85 peer-reviewed publications of cross-cultural variations in consumer behav- ior. The objectives of this study are to systemize conceptual and methodological approaches to research of cross-cultural variations in consumer behavior; to present an extended understanding of consumer behavior in related industries; to identify conceptual and methodological gaps and empirical issues in these studies; and by fulfilling the objective of this paper to develop an agenda guiding further research in a systematic manner. This literature review reveals the lack of a unified conceptual approach to defining cross-cultural variations and the absence of a unified terminology related to cross-cultural research. It also highlights methodological areas susceptible to common method bias, which hinders the establishment of equivalence in studies of cross-cultural variations in consumer behavior. This review accentuates the “cross-cultural vari- ations” concept in consumer behavior research, covering both the differences and similarities that are the subject of cross-cultural studies. Furthermore, the current study outlines relevant contributions for theoreti- cal and potentially managerial implications based on the study’s insights. Keywords: Cross-cultural variations, consumer behavior, data equivalence, measurement equivalence.

  • Dig Until You Find Blood
    Dig Until You Find Blood: A Textual and Archaeological Investigation into Egyptian Menstrual Seclusion Practice at Deir el-Medina by Anne M. Sherfield A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of Classical Studies University of Michigan Spring 2018 © 2018 Anne M. Sherfield Acknowledgements First and foremost, I am grateful for the unwavering support and guidance of my thesis advisor Terry G. Wilfong. I cannot repay his commitment to me throughout this project irrespective to his busy schedule and multitude of responsibilities. His enthusiastic support of my investigation into menstrual seclusion practices and his expansive knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture has made my thesis immeasurably better. Additionally, I have deeply appreciated his openness to new ideas and perspectives as well as the ease with which he approaches ambiguity and criticism of his work. I hope that I can show the same receptiveness throughout the course of my career. I would also be nowhere without the support of Lisa Young. She has been a mentor for me throughout my time at Michigan and it is thanks to her that I have been able to do so many amazing things during my time as an undergraduate. Further, I was unaware of my love for research until I took Lisa’s undergraduate seminar class in fall of 2016. It was in this class that I realized how creative, freeing, and difficult original research can be. My experience in this class not only introduced me to menstrual seclusion practices, but it also made me to want to write a thesis in the first place.

  • Chinese Cultural Values and Chinese Language Pedagogy
    CHINESE CULTURAL VALUES AND CHINESE LANGUAGE PEDAGOGY A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Bo Zhu, M.A. The Ohio State University Master’s Examination Committee Approved by Dr. Galal Walker, Adviser Dr. Mari Noda ________________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures Copyright @ 2008 Bo Zhu ABSTRACT Cultural values hold great control on people’s social behaviors. To become culturally competent, it is important for second language learners to understand primary cultural values in the target culture and to behave in accordance with those values. Cultural themes are the behavioral norms that people share in a society in pursuit of cultural values, which help learners relate what they learn to do with cultural values. The purpose of this study is to identify pedagogical cultural values and cultural themes in Chinese language education and propose a performance-based language curriculum, which integrates cultural values and cultural themes into language pedagogy. There are mainly three research questions discussed. First, what are the primary components in the Chinese cultural value system? Second, how is a cultural value manifest and managed in social behaviors? Third, how can a performance-based language curriculum integrate cultural values and cultural themes? This thesis analyzes the nature of cultural values and the components of Chinese cultural value system, with goals to identify pedagogical cultural values in Chinese language education. Seven cultural values are selected based on proposed criteria as primary pedagogical cultural themes in Chinese language education.

Carlos and Maria, her parents, left Puerto Rico in their early 20s and met in Chicago while working at a factory. Carlos and Maria miss the island and their relatives and Puerto Rican food. Fortunately, Little Pilsen had a good number of markets that sold all the food staples that Carlos and Maria missed including plantains (Continued) 99 100 –G–THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE UNITED STATES (Continued) and gandules. Carlos often expresses concern for how his kids are not as respectful and courteous as he had been as a teen and blames the American culture for having spoiled his children. He always speaks in Spanish to them and he is often accused by the children of being old-fashioned. Maria speaks English more fluently than her husband and feels perfectly comfortable among her White friends as well as among her Latino neighbors. Josefina is fully bilingual, having learned Spanish at home and English while attending school. She is as comfortable eating rice with gandules as a hamburger at the fast food outlet.

  • Culture in Humans and Other Animals
    Biol Philos (2013) 28:457–479 DOI 10.1007/s10539-012-9347-x Culture in humans and other animals Grant Ramsey Received: 12 March 2012 / Accepted: 30 September 2012 / Published online: 16 October 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2012 Abstract The study of animal culture is a flourishing field, with culture being recorded in a wide range of taxa, including non-human primates, birds, cetaceans, and rodents. In spite of this research, however, the concept of culture itself remains elusive. There is no universally assented to concept of culture, and there is debate over the connection between culture and related concepts like tradition and social learning. Furthermore, it is not clear whether culture in humans and culture in non- human animals is really the same thing, or merely loose analogues that go by the same name. The purpose of this paper is to explicate core desiderata for a concept of culture and then to construct a concept that meets these desiderata. The paper then applies this concept in both humans and non-human animals. Keywords Behavior Á Culture Á Epigenetic Á Evolution Á Innovation Á Social learning Á Tradition Introduction The study of culture in animals1 is a burgeoning area of research. Biologists, psychologists, and biological anthropologists are increasingly interested in the study of culture and are routinely describing the behavior of animals—from rats to sperm whales—in terms of culture (Laland and Galef 2009). Additionally, the field of 1 To avoid repeated uses of ‘non-human’, I will use ‘animal’ in what follows, not as picking out the Anamalia, but as denoting all non-human animals.

Already her mother has carried a bucket of water from the village tap and put it on the fire to heat. Bread is laid out on a newspaper on the ground, ready to be cut and spread with jam. Meanwhile, Jabu wraps her baby brother in a blanket and ties him on her back, soothing him with a melody as she begins her chores. The goats must be milked and the cattle need to be watered. After her chores, Jabu dresses for the two-mile walk to school. On the way, she stops to greet a village elder who asks about her father who works in the distant diamond mines. By the time she arrives at school, Jabu sees that school assem- bly has already begun. The headmistress decides to set an example of Jabu and calls her up front to slap her hand with a ruler.
