Ethnic Adaptation and Minority Status.

DeVos, George A.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v11 n1 p101-24 Mar 1980

Social degradation is related to family cohesion and peer group functions, both of which depend on cultural traditions. Research from Japan shows how a study of cognitive style and learning within the classroom must include psychocultural determinants related to social or ethnic identity and the awareness of disparaged minority status.
