Етническа идентичност и акултурационни ориентации при български юноши от турски етнически произход
Ethnic identity and acculturation orientations of Turkish-Bulgarian adolescents

Summary/Abstract: We explored associations of ethnic identity and acculturation orientations in a sample of 360 Turkish-Bulgarian adolescents through self-report. Results showed that according to youth, their Turkish ethnic identity was more pronounced than their Bulgarian identity. A good fit was found for a path model in which ethnic identity and acculturation orientations were strongly related. As expected, Turkish identity was positively related to the tendency to maintain one’s Turkish heritage culture, whereas the Bulgarian identity was associated with the adaptation of the Bulgarian national culture. Our findings highlight the centrality of Turkish domains of identity and acculturation for Turkish-Bulgarian youth.
