The authors found that when exposed to positive cultural cues, biculturals who perceive their cultural identities as compatible (high bicultural identity integration, or high BII) respond in culturally congruent ways, whereas biculturals who perceive their cultural identities as conflicting (low BII) respond in culturally incongruent ways. The opposite was true for negative cultural cues. These results show that both high and low BIIs can exhibit culturally congruent or incongruent behaviors, and have implications for understanding situations where high and low BIIs might adapt differently. 2006-11-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soss_research/816 info:doi/10.1177/0022022106292081 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/soss_research/article/1815/viewcontent/Assimilation_JCCP_2006_pv.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School of Social Sciences eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University bicultural identity integration (BII) cultural frame switching (CFS) valenced contrast effect Multicultural Psychology Personality and Social Contexts
