■难民在抵达东道国时面临着跨文化过渡的过程。这一过程通常被称为文化适应,对于没有照顾者陪伴的寻求庇护儿童和青少年来说尤其具有挑战性。为了更有效地促进无人陪伴的未成年难民(URM)的重新安置,这项研究旨在提高对这些年轻人的文化适应过程的理解。
■因此,对48个URM的采访,他们都是在16岁之前到达的,分两步进行分析。首先,年轻人如何描述他们的东道国的社会和文化,其次是他们在重新安置期间如何在这个社会和文化景观中导航。
■青年描述了他们如何通过获得文化能力来驾驭挪威的文化和社会景观,适应并找到贡献的方法,这使得年轻人更容易进入社会,成功并增强他们的代理意识。然而,这些年轻人还报告说,他们不得不在他们原有文化和东道国文化的期望之间导航,在两种文化之间寻找平衡。
■青年的文化过程似乎是他们各自需要的结果,愿望和行为以及东道国文化的具体特征,这支持了文化适应过程在某种程度上取决于上下文和文化的概念。了解这些青年面临的文化和社会框架以及他们在重新安置期间如何在其中导航,对于确定可能的跨文化挑战和促进积极的发展轨道至关重要。要更多地了解文化适应和整合过程,未来的研究应包括特定的文化和社会特征以及移民在移民安置过程中的观点和经验。
UNASSIGNED: Refugees face the process of cross-cultural transitions upon arrival in their host country. This process is commonly referred to as
acculturation and can be particularly challenging for asylum-seeking children and adolescent unaccompanied by a caregiver. To more effectively facilitate unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) resettlement, this study sought to obtain an enhanced understanding of the
acculturation processes of these youth\'.
UNASSIGNED: Thus, interviews with 48 URMs, all of whom arrived before the age of 16 years, were analyzed in two steps. First, how the youth described their host country\'s society and culture, followed by how they navigated within this societal and cultural landscape during resettlement.
UNASSIGNED: The youth described how they navigated the Norwegian cultural and societal landscape by gaining cultural competence, adapting and finding ways to contribute, which made it easier for the youth to gain access to the society, to succeed as well as enhance their sense of agency. However, the youths also reported having to navigate between the expectations of their original and host country cultures, struggling with finding a balance between the two cultures.
UNASSIGNED: The youth\'
acculturation processes seemed to be the result of both their own needs, wishes and behavior as well as specific features in their host country culture, which supports the notion that
acculturation processes to some degree are context- and culture-dependent. Knowledge regarding the cultural and societal framework that these youth face and how they navigate within it during resettlement is critical for identifying possible cross-cultural challenges and promoting positive developmental tracks. To understand more about
acculturation and integration processes, future research should include specific cultural and societal features as well as immigrants\' own perspectives and experiences during resettlement.
