ABSTRACT

This study examined differences in national identity and bicultural acceptance attitudes among multicultural adolescents based on structural patterns of perceived social support. Data from 1,842 participants in the fifth wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study 2 were analyzed. Cluster analyses identified four groups: high-support, low-support, parent-centered, and peer-centered types. MANOVA results showed significant differences across clusters in both national identity and bicultural acceptance attitudes. National identity was highest in the high-support group and lowest in the low-support group, with no difference between the parent-centered and peer-centered groups. Bicultural acceptance attitudes differed across all groups in the order of high-support, parent-centered, peer-centered, and low-support. These findings highlight the importance of the overall configuration of social support and the need for integrated support systems.
