Title
Appartenances nationales et orientations d’acculturation au Québec
Abstract
The authors propose a new scale to monitor concepts of national belonging and assess Québéois acculturation attitudes toward immigrants from France, Arab Muslim immigrants and English Quebecers. Québécois undergraduates (N=265) completed the National Belonging Scale (NBS) and the Host Community Acculturation Scale (HCAS). The authors' survey showed that respondents strongly endorsed two main types of national belonging: civic and ethnic. Endorsement of Canadian national belonging was very weak among these Francophone students. The survey found that the acculturation results showed that the undergraduates displayed more individualistic and integrationist orientations toward "valued" immigrants from France than toward "less valued" Arab Muslim immigrants. The authors found that acculturation attitudes toward English Quebecers fell between those held toward French immigrants and Arab Muslims, reflecting Québécois ambivalence toward the Anglophone minority of Quebec.
