Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to examine the rejection-identification model among second-generation Asian Americans. In particular, the current study examined the relationship between identification and perceptions of rejection from members of one’s ethnic/racial group, as well as two different outgroups: White Americans and other minority groups. The study also explored the relationship between rejection and acculturation attitudes. A total of 40 second-generation Asian Americans took an online survey assessing group-based rejection, identification, and preferred acculturation attitudes. It was hypothesized that perceptions of rejection from other Asians will be positively associated with identification with White Americans and .rejection from White Americans and minorities will be positively associated with higher Asian identification. It was also hypothesized that for those that perceive rejection from other Asians will be positively associated with assimilation strategies. In contrast, rejection from White Americans and other minority groups will be positively associated with a separation acculturation strategy. Overall, there was no support for the proposed hypotheses. Implications for research on the rejection-identification model are discussed.
