Abstract
Recent theory and research have pointed to the importance of cultural identity clarity for psychological well-being (e.g., Taylor, 2002; Usborne & Taylor, 2010). The present research is an initial attempt to manipulate cultural identity clarity in a laboratory setting and examine its impact on state psychological well-being. In a laboratory experiment, participants were led to experience a clear or an unclear cultural identity during a computer-mediated interaction. For participants who highly identified with their cultural group, negotiating a computer-mediated social interaction with a clear cultural identity led to the highest levels of well-being compared to negotiating this interaction with an unclear cultural identity. Feelings of personal uncertainty were explored as a mechanism explaining the relationship between cultural identity clarity and well-being.
