Résumé

Ce numéro spécial, Acculturation Reimagined, plaide en faveur d'un changement de paradigme dans la science de l'acculturation afin de répondre à la mondialisation du XXIe siècle, à la connectivité numérique et aux paysages culturels en mutation. Dépassant les modèles statiques, les contributions remettent en question des postulats fondamentaux au moyen de critiques méthodologiques rigoureuses et de cadres théoriques novateurs. Parmi les discussions clés figure un réexamen de l'hypothèse de l'intégration, où des méta-analyses récentes révèlent que les résultats antérieurs pourraient découler de méthodes bivariées erronées plutôt que de véritables effets d'interaction. Le numéro met également en lumière le « paradoxe de l'intégration », montrant comment la discrimination peut compromettre le bien-être des immigrants les plus intégrés sur le plan structurel. Élargissant la portée du domaine, les auteurs introduisent les concepts d'acculturation médiatisée par le numérique et préconisent une indigénisation de la recherche afin d'honorer les épistémologies autochtones. Une attention particulière est accordée aux dynamiques temporelles, en distinguant les véritables perspectives développementales — telles que le rythme de l'acculturation — de la simple mesure longitudinale. Les travaux empiriques illustrent en outre la complexité de l'adaptation, révélant que la concordance émotionnelle avec une culture majoritaire peut paradoxalement conduire à un désengagement dans des contextes discriminatoires. Dans leur ensemble, ces articles tracent un avenir pour la recherche sur l'acculturation qui soit multivarié, sensible au contexte, dynamique sur le plan temporel et inclusif de diverses expériences vécues.

Points clés à retenir

  • Une affirmation centrale de l'acculturation — l'hypothèse de l'intégration — a été réévaluée à l'aide de tests multivariés plus rigoureux. Les réanalyses ont montré que les indicateurs indirects bivariés (sommatifs, multiplicatifs, distance euclidienne) expliquaient environ 2 % de la variance de l'adaptation, tandis que le véritable effet d'interaction était négligeable (<0,1 % de variance expliquée), indiquant que les résultats antérieurs reflétaient largement les effets principaux des orientations culturelles (en particulier l'orientation vers la culture dominante).
  • Le « paradoxe de l'intégration » suggère que les immigrants qui réussissent structurellement peuvent néanmoins se désengager psychologiquement en raison d'une privation relative perçue et de la discrimination. Fondé sur la théorie de la comparaison sociale, ce constat reformule l'intégration comme étant dépendante du contexte et souligne la nécessité de modéliser les conditions structurelles, les attentes et l'injustice perçue en parallèle de l'orientation culturelle.
  • Le domaine s'étend au-delà des contextes en face à face pour inclure l'acculturation médiatisée par le numérique et appelle à une indigénisation de la science de l'acculturation. Une perspective développementale et longitudinale révèle des dynamiques et des paradoxes temporels — tels que l'acculturation émotionnelle qui accroît les contacts avec des pairs de la majorité tout en diminuant l'engagement scolaire en situation de discrimination —, soulignant l'importance du moment, des trajectoires et du contexte.

Introduction

Why Reimagine Acculturation? In a world defined by unprecedented migration, digital connectivity, and shifting cultural landscapes, the study of acculturation is at a critical inflection point. This sentiment has been echoed across the field, with scholars discussing the potential need for a paradigm shift (Sam & Ward, 2021) and a fundamental re-examination of our core tenets (Sam, 2024), especially in light of critiques of the field’s causal claims (Bierwiaczonek & Kunst, 2021; Kunst, 2021). The applied implications for millions of people demand sound theories that cover the full and rapidly evolving spectrum of intercultural experiences.

Once narrowly defined as the psychological and behavioral changes resulting from continuous firsthand contact between individuals of different cultural backgrounds (see Redfield et al., 1936), acculturation has evolved into a multifaceted construct and now reflects the complexities of globalization, migration, identity politics, and intercultural relations (see Schwartz, 2026). This special issue, Acculturation Reimagined, brings together a diverse and intellectually rich set of contributions that challenge, refine, and extend foundational concepts in acculturation science. Collectively, this special issue offers a roadmap for the next era of inquiry, one that is more inclusive, context-sensitive, methodologically rigorous, and attuned to the lived experiences of all cultural groups.

The call for papers that initiated this special issue invited scholars to critically engage with acculturation not merely as a psychological process, but as a dynamic, context-embedded phenomenon. We encouraged submissions that challenged the assumptions underlying traditional models, explored underrepresented populations and settings, and offered innovative perspectives to the study of acculturation that can meet the challenges of the 21st century. The response was both enthusiastic and generative, resulting in a collection that spans theoretical innovation, empirical rigor, and cultural diversity. This special issue features six innovative papers: Jasini et al. (2025); Verkuyten (2024); Titzmann & Jugert (2024); Ward et al. (2025); Stuart et al. (2025); and Vu and Bierwiaczonek (2025), including a commentary by Berry (2025), whose foundational work continues to shape the field, and responses by Bierwiaczonek (2025) and Jugert and Titzmann (2025). Together, these contributions explore new directions, challenge established paradigms, and propose fresh frameworks for understanding acculturation in the 21st century.

Integration Hypothesis, Its Complexities and the Paradoxes

The paper by Vu and Bierwiaczonek (2025) critically revisits the assessment of the integration hypothesis. This hypothesis, a cornerstone of acculturation theory, posits that individuals who are doubly engaged with their heritage culture and the society of settlement profit from the best form of adaptation. The authors’ meta-analytic approach demonstrates that past meta-analyses of the integration hypothesis used flawed bivariate methods that produced inflated results. It shows that common approaches, like using summative, multiplicative, or Euclidean Distance scores, fail to properly test for a statistical interaction because they do not control for the main effects of heritage and mainstream cultural orientations. By re-analyzing two datasets, the authors show that these bivariate proxies explain around 2% of the variance in adaptation, whereas a state-of-the-art multivariate test reveals the true interaction effect to be negligible (less than 0.1% variance explained). They conclude that the effects previously attributed to “integration” were actually the effects of the individual cultural orientations (primarily mainstream-culture orientation), meaning the bivariate methods mistook main effects for an interaction.

This methodological critique clashes directly with the commentary by Berry (2025), who argues that Vu and Bierwiaczonek fundamentally misinterpret his hypothesis. Berry contends that the integration hypothesis was never about a simple statistical interaction term but is a comparative question: Is the strategy of integration associated with better adaptation than the alternative strategies of assimilation, separation, or marginalization?

In a rejoinder, Bierwiaczonek (2025) argues that Berry’s criticisms misrepresent the nature and limitations of meta-analytical evidence. She emphasizes that Berry overlooks findings showing that the apparent benefits of integration are primarily driven by mainstream culture orientation, and that the variability in these effects stems from heritage culture orientation rather than differences between national contexts.

Moving somewhat away from the methodological issues of the integration hypothesis, Verkuyten (2025) introduces the integration paradox, where he demonstrates how well-educated and structurally integrated immigrants may experience psychological disengagement from the host society due to perceived relative deprivation. Drawing on social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954), the paper highlights how discrimination and unmet expectations can undermine adaptation—factors too often neglected in acculturation research. Berry’s commentary adds nuance by distinguishing integration as a strategy versus an outcome and by noting national context differences (e.g., Canada vs. France) that may align with the integration paradox. Together, these contributions call for more context-sensitive frameworks that capture the dynamic interplay between structural conditions, individual perceptions, and the multifaceted nature of integration.

Expanding the Acculturation Arena: Digital Spaces and Indigenous Sovereignty

Stuart et al. (2025) explore the transformative yet under-investigated role of tele-media in acculturation, especially among refugees, international students, and diasporic communities. Their work introduces the concept of digitally mediated acculturation and extends Ferguson and Bornstein’s (2012) notion of remote acculturation. Berry’s (2025) commentary situates this within the broader anthropological tradition of cultural diffusion (see Whiten et al., 2016), while also calling for clearer distinctions between mediated socialization and active intercultural engagement. The commentary invites future research to examine the psychological mechanisms, such as imitation and social feedback.

Just as technology challenges the geographical boundaries of acculturation, the work of Ward et al. (2025) challenges its conceptual and political boundaries. The authors advocate for indigenizing acculturation research, both in terms of methodology and subject matter. Indeed, the very paper is written in an unorthodox way. Using a synthesis of Western and indigenous methodologies and perspectives, they highlight the marginalization of Indigenous Peoples in mainstream acculturation frameworks such as those referring to the concept of “multiculturalism” and call for research that respects Indigenous epistemologies, rights, and cultural identities. Berry’s commentary supports this call, emphasizing the historical contributions of Indigenous psychology and the need for renewed collaboration between psychologists and anthropologists. The paper challenges researchers to move beyond viewing Indigenous Peoples as mere ethnocultural minorities and to recognize their unique sociopolitical status.

Temporal Dynamics and the Paradox of Emotional Fit

Titzmann and Jugert (2024) argue for a developmental lens in acculturation research, critiquing the field’s static tendencies and advocating for longitudinal designs. Berry (2025) acknowledges the historical influence of developmental psychology (e.g., Erikson, 1968; Vygotsky, 1978; Bronfenbrenner, 1979) and calls for greater recognition of earlier contributions. The paper and commentary together emphasize the importance of temporal sequencing, life stages, and contextual transitions in understanding acculturative change. The need for longitudinal studies in developmental approaches cannot be overemphasized.

In their rejoinder, Jugert and Titzmann (2025) push back on Berry’s commentary, arguing that merely acknowledging these values or relying on longitudinal designs does not realize the full potential of a developmental approach. They clarify that one of the “gravest misconceptions” in the field is assuming that measuring individuals over multiple time points is equivalent to adopting a developmental perspective. Instead, they advocate for a genuinely developmental perspective on acculturation. For example, they propose utilizing the concept of acculturation tempo, inspired by developmental approaches to puberty, to shed light on interindividual differences in the duration of typical stages like “culture shock.” This perspective requires distinguishing between a narrow view of development (universal, progressive stages) and an expanded view that accounts for differential trajectories across the lifespan.

Answering this call for a more dynamic perspective, the longitudinal study by Jasini and colleagues (2025) offers a compelling example of what such research can uncover. They present a longitudinal study of emotional acculturation, focusing on an implicit process by which minority youth adopt majority emotion norms. Their findings reveal a paradox: while emotional fit predicts increased contact with majority peers over time, it also correlates with lower school engagement and higher non-compliance in contexts of perceived discrimination. The authors propose an explanation for this paradox: emotionally acculturated students may be more likely to compare themselves to their majority peers, making the experience of discrimination feel “particularly hurtful” and leading to psychological disengagement from school. This study thus bridges a critical gap by linking implicit acculturation processes to sociocultural adjustment, highlighting how social context can turn a potential benefit into a liability. It bridges the gap between implicit acculturation and adjustment, highlighting the context-dependent liabilities of emotional fit.

A Collective Vision for the Future

Collectively, the papers in this special issue chart a clear path forward, moving away from universalist models toward dynamic, context-sensitive frameworks attuned to lived experiences. They reveal that foundational concepts like integration are not straightforward; instead, they are fraught with paradoxes that depend on social comparison and perceived discrimination (Verkuyten, 2024; Jasini et al., 2025). Furthermore, they expand the very arena of acculturation, showing it unfolds not just in physical communities but through digitally mediated platforms (Stuart et al., 2025) and must be reconceptualized to honor the unique sociopolitical status of Indigenous Peoples (Ward et al., 2025).

The directions outlined in these contributions converge on several critical shifts for the field. First is the need to investigate understudied mechanisms and domains, from the implicit adjustments of emotional acculturation (Jasini et al., 2025) to the transformative role of digital media in shaping intercultural contact (Stuart et al., 2025). Second, there is a powerful call to adopt more dynamic and temporally sensitive research designs. The argument for a developmental lens and the necessity of longitudinal studies to capture change over time is a central theme (Berry, 2025; Jugert & Titzmann, 2025; Titzmann & Jugert, 2024). Finally, the papers advocate for expanding methodological horizons, which includes both adopting more statistically rigorous multivariate approaches to avoid the inflated findings of the past (Bierwiaczonek, 2025; Vu & Bierwiaczonek, 2025) and indigenizing the field by embracing research that respects and centers Indigenous epistemologies (Ward et al., 2025).

This special issue affirms that acculturation is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is dynamic, multi-dimensional, and deeply embedded in sociopolitical, cultural, and psychological contexts. As we move forward, the challenge is not merely to refine our models but to reimagine the very foundations of acculturation science—toward a more inclusive, humane, and empirically grounded understanding of intercultural life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does it mean to "reimagine" acculturation in this special issue?

    Reimagining acculturation means moving from static, one-size-fits-all models toward approaches that are context-sensitive, methodologically rigorous, and inclusive of diverse groups and settings. According to Sam and Kunst (2026), the field is at an inflection point driven by globalization, digital connectivity, and shifting sociopolitical landscapes. The special issue highlights three converging shifts: (1) stronger methods that avoid inflated findings, (2) a developmental lens with longitudinal designs to capture change over time, and (3) broadening the arena to include digitally mediated interactions and Indigenous epistemologies.

    1. It questions legacy assumptions (e.g., simplistic views of integration).
    2. It spotlights understudied mechanisms like emotional acculturation.
    3. It emphasizes structural conditions, discrimination, and comparative perceptions.

    Together, these shifts aim to ground acculturation science in lived realities and robust evidence.

  • What is the integration hypothesis and why is it being challenged?

    The integration hypothesis posits that people engaged with both their heritage and the mainstream culture adapt best. The editorial by Sam and Kunst (2026) frames current debates showing how recent work reanalyzed legacy findings using multivariate tests instead of flawed bivariate proxies (e.g., summative, multiplicative, Euclidean distance scores). Re-analyses indicate these proxies explained about 2% of adaptation variance, but the actual interaction effect—the hallmark of “integration”—was negligible (<0.1%).

    1. This suggests prior support often mistook main effects (especially mainstream orientation) for an interaction.
    2. Ongoing debate distinguishes integration as a comparative strategy versus a pure statistical interaction.
    3. Future research should align measures with theory and control for main effects explicitly.
  • What is the "integration paradox" and how does social comparison matter?

    The integration paradox describes how immigrants who are well-educated or structurally integrated may still feel psychologically disengaged from the host society when expectations go unmet. Social comparison theory explains that upward comparisons and perceived relative deprivation can convert success into disappointment, especially under discrimination. This paradox varies by national context (e.g., differences noted between Canada and France), reminding researchers to consider policies, norms, and historical narratives.

    1. Integration is not only an outcome but also shaped by perceived fairness.
    2. Discrimination can erode belonging even among high achievers.
    3. Models should include comparative perceptions, status signals, and contextual moderators.

    The takeaway: “more structural integration” does not guarantee better psychological adaptation without equitable conditions.

  • How do digital media reshape acculturation processes?

    Digital media create pathways for contact, identity work, and cultural learning outside physical communities. The editorial by Sam and Kunst (2026) situates new concepts like digitally mediated acculturation alongside earlier ideas of remote acculturation, showing that streaming, social platforms, and transnational networks can diffuse norms and practices. Researchers are urged to distinguish mediated socialization (passive consumption) from active intercultural engagement, and to test mechanisms such as imitation and social feedback.

    1. Measure exposure types (content genres, interaction quality).
    2. Model cross-border flows and bidirectional influence.
    3. Assess outcomes beyond identity—e.g., well-being and discrimination experiences.

    According to the authors, rigorously defining and testing these processes can reveal when digital contact enhances or undermines adaptation.

  • Why adopt a developmental lens, and what is the paradox of emotional acculturation?

    A developmental lens captures timing, tempo, and trajectories of change—insights that cross-sectional snapshots miss. According to Sam and Kunst (2026), new contributions on longitudinal designs clarify how acculturation unfolds across life stages and contexts. Recent work on emotional acculturation shows a paradox: better emotional fit with majority peers predicts increased contact over time but, under perceived discrimination, relates to lower school engagement and higher non-compliance.

    1. This suggests context can flip benefits into liabilities.
    2. Concepts like “acculturation tempo” help explain individual timing differences (e.g., length of culture shock).
    3. Distinguishing repeated measurement from true developmental modeling is crucial.

    The developmental approach thus prioritizes when changes happen, for whom, and under what social conditions.
