Your friend immigrated more than a decade ago.While walking on the streets with your friend,he suddenly encounters a store that reminds him of his heritage culture.Which of the following is likeliest to result from that?

Accepted Answer

Encountering something that reminds one of their heritage culture can evoke feelings of nostalgia and connection to one's culture of origin. This can result in a temporary increase in identification with one's heritage culture, leading to thinking and behavior more consistent with that culture. This is known as a bicultural experience and can lead to a more integrated acculturation strategy rather than a separation strategy. It is also possible that the encounter may not result in any significant change in acculturation strategy or levels of acculturative stress.

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that exposure to diverse cultures, preferably living in a foreign country for a significant period of time, can enhance creativity by increasing integrative complexity - the ability to integrate multiple perspectives and experiences into a cohesive whole. This is likely to happen when a person engages in meaningful interactions with locals and adopts the cultural norms and values of the host country. Hence, Amy's plan for Sophia to live in various countries for a year in each place can increase her integrative complexity and, as a result, lead to higher levels of creativity in her work as an architect.
