    C - Assimilated Identity

    Explanation:

    Assimilated Identity

    Weak sense of ethnic traditions and values

    Strong sense for the values and norms of the larger culture

    Ex. Immigrant from China came to America

    So adapted to the American culture, they would see themselves as only "American" and nothing else.

    Ethnic-Oriented Identity

    Conclusion

    strongly identifies with ethnic background

    weakly linked with dominant culture

    ex. only hanging out with people of the same background.

    do no speak the new country's language

    ethnocentric view

    Bicultural Identity

    Strongly identify with maintaining their ethnic traditions and values & incorporating values and practices of the larger society that they live in.

    Most efficient because the individuals are comfortable with being a member in the 2 different cultural groups.

    According to Nguyen and Benet-Martinez, members with high bicultural identity view themselves as "part of a hyphenated culture" (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2005).

    Ex. Chinese culture + Canadian culture

    highly compatible

    Low bicultural identity, they struggle with living "in between cultures" and see the cultures as vastly conflicting and separate (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2005).

    Marginal Identity State

    Don't associate themselves with their ethnic traditions and they also do not identify with the larger cultural worldviews

    Highly disconnected with both their ethnic group and the larger society. Because of the separation, these individuals often experience ambiguity, invisibility, and alienation (Ting-Toomey & Chung, 2005).
