MERA-LEMP, María José; MARTINEZ-ZELAYA, Gonzalo  e  BILBAO, Marian. Chilean teenagers faced with Latin American immigration: acculturative profiles, prejudice, cultural self-efficacy and well-being. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.2, pp.849-880. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202102.012.

The new socio-cultural scenario produced by immigration in schools implies a complex process of psychosocial adjustment. National students must also face diverse and new challenges as a result of immigration, which are linked to the perception and management of cultural differences. This paper aims to identify acculturative profiles in a sample (n=426) of Chilean secondary school students. Cluster analysis allowed us to find a solution of three acculturative profiles (Tolerant Individualist, Undifferentiated Individualist and Undifferentiated Ethnocentric). Results show that these profiles differ in their levels of Affective Prejudice, Cultural Self-efficacy, and Well-being. These findings stress the importance of promoting social environments which could improve positive intergroup contact to enable the development of intercultural competence from early stages of life.
