The article "Ethnic Identity, Immigration, and Well-Being: An Interactional Perspective" by Phinney, Horenczyk, Liebkind, and Vedder explores the psychological outcomes of immigration, focusing on the interrelationship between ethnic and national identity and their impact on immigrant well-being. The authors propose an interactional model that considers the attitudes and characteristics of immigrants and the responses of the receiving society, moderated by the specific circumstances of the immigrant group. They argue that a strong ethnic identity and a strong national identity promote the best adaptation among immigrants. The study reviews existing theory and research on ethnic identity and immigration, emphasizing the role of these identities in acculturation and psychological well-being. It highlights the importance of context, such as immigrant policies and societal attitudes, in shaping the relationship between ethnic and national identities. The article also discusses the implications for school adjustment and the need for societies to balance cultural retention and adaptation to promote immigrant well-being.The article "Ethnic Identity, Immigration, and Well-Being: An Interactional Perspective" by Phinney, Horenczyk, Liebkind, and Vedder explores the psychological outcomes of immigration, focusing on the interrelationship between ethnic and national identity and their impact on immigrant well-being.
