Accommodating And Revising Theories
Our next job will be to project the variables in the type of suggestions or theories that represent the influence we believe each variable uses.
Proposition 1: Bicultural people have a tendency to take on features of the culture (A or B) that would seem to give them greater edge when it comes to private welfare. If one culture seems to be much more desirable in a single facet of life as well as another in another facet, then the person's self-individuality is going to be an amalgam of characteristics from both cultures.
Proposition 2: The better the ethnic individual is treated by relatives, the much more likely the individual will likely identify together with the culture of the relatives. If treated nicely by relatives of both A and B, the individual will likely integrate characteristics of both cultures into their self-individuality. But if treated nicely by relatives on just one side of the family, subsequently features of the culture will soon be featured in the individual's individuality. If handled poorly by relatives on both sides of your family, the person will endure identity confusion and misery.
Proposition 3: Powerful, but somewhat less important than family members' treatment (especially in youth), is the treatment the ethnic individual receives from nonfamily members of cultures A and B. If treated nicely by individuals of both cultures, the individual will likely take on characteristics of both cultures. But if treated nicely by individuals from just among the two cultures, then features of the culture will soon be featured in the individual's individuality. If handled horribly by folks of both cultures, the person will endure identity confusion and misery.
So, we’re proposing that our three factors are causal variables that people believe contribute significantly to the result variable-the ethnic individual's individuality.
