Abstract
ABSTRACT In a globalized world with high rates of migration, identification with one’s culture of origin and one’s new cultural environment is a key and sometimes conflicted issue. Focusing on the growing population of first-generation immigrant children and youth, this study reviewed previous literature, using meta-analysis to investigate core factors affecting identity development. A search of databases yielded 3,636 English-language articles published between 1987 and 2017, of which only 24 met all eligibility criteria and were analyzed in depth. Random-effects analysis revealed that young first-generation immigrants identified moderately with their culture of origin and that their identification with the residence country was, by comparison, weaker. Identity was found to be moderated by core demographic and migration-related factors. The implications of the findings and methodological challenges in the field are discussed.
