内容摘要： 摘要：本文使用《生态嵌入社会认同理论》来研究最近移民到美国并居住在少数民族聚居地的阿拉伯青少年移民（IA）与认同协商和调整过程中关联的风险和保护因素。来自4个民族地区学校的也门、黎巴嫩和伊拉克的八年级学生（N = 45）参加了专题小组访谈。访谈的深度分析揭示，生活在一个民族的聚居地增强了阿拉伯青少年的社区归属感。然而，与来源国交织在一起的新移民的地位决定着他们与生根了的阿拉伯人和阿拉伯美国人间的边界的渗透性。他们的认同协商和社会认同的特点（国家、宗教和泛阿拉伯）被从家乡到宗主国过渡经验、盛行的两者间政治和文化之间的紧张关系、在阿拉伯社区的国家阶层的识别、感知到的被主流社会的歧视、移民后随之而来的改变了的教育期望和目前的物质的（学校和社区）和现象学的语境所影响。研究结果表明，目前的理论观点应该扩展到包括过去的空间和地方的现象学表达，而不是目前停留在理解青少年多面的认同上。
 

Abstract: Abstract: Ecologically embedded social identity theories were used to examine the risk and protective factors associated with the identity negotiation and adjustment of recent immigrant Arab (IA) adolescents to the United States residing in ethnic enclaves. Yemeni, Lebanese, and Iraqi 8th-graders (n = 45) from 4 ethnic enclave schools participated in focus-group interviews. In-depth analyses of interviews revealed that living in an ethnic enclave enhanced IA adolescents' feelings of belonging to the community. However, the new immigrant status coupled with country of origin determined the permeability of intergroup boundaries with well-established Arab and Arab American peers. Their identity negotiations and social identity salience (national, religious, and pan-Arab) were informed by transitional experiences from home to host country and the prevailing political and cultural tensions between the two, recognition of national hierarchy within the Arab community, perceptions of discrimination by the larger society, changed educational aspirations consequent to immigration, and current physical (school and community) and phenomenological contexts. Findings suggest that current theoretical perspectives should be extended to incorporate phenomenological representations of past spaces and places not currently occupied to understand adolescents' multifaceted identity.
