Förlagets beskrivning
The goal of this project is to explore the influence of social position on immigration. Generally, this project is aimed at investigating if and how an individual's social position affects their psychological experience of immigration. More specifically, the focus is on developing an understanding of how psychological theories of immigration and theories of social stratification can be used together to explain how an individual's psychological experience of social position (both in their country of origin and in the US) influences their experience of immigration to the USA. In this exploration, this project will consider specifically the experiences of Latino immigrants to the USA who occupied non-marginalized and privileged social positions in their country of origin and arrive into non-marginalized or privileged social positions in the USA. This project will begin with a brief overview of the reasoning for this study, followed by a review of literature related to immigration, acculturation, social position in the USA, and social position in Latin America. The project will then present an examination of the interaction between the theories reviewed and an exploration of how psychological experiences of social position influence the psychological experience of immigration with a focus on Latin American immigrants. Anecdotal information gathered through brief informal conversations with several Latin American immigrants from privileged social position backgrounds will be used to provide examples of such interactions. Finally, the project will conclude with a discussion of implications for clinical practice and recommendations for future research
