Objective: To examine the association between acculturation modes (integrated, assimilated, traditional, and marginalized) and type 2 diabetes prevalence in Native Hawaiians.
Research Design And Methods: Cross-sectional data were analyzed from 495 Native Hawaiians, including acculturation modes, diabetes status, triglycerides, fasting insulin, BMI, age, and education level. Acculturation modes were assessed using an eight-item cultural affiliation questionnaire.
Results: Native Hawaiians in a traditional mode of acculturation were more likely to have type 2 diabetes (27.9%) than those in integrated (15.4%), assimilated (12.5%), or marginalized (10.5%) modes.
Conclusions: The higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes among Native Hawaiians in a traditional mode of acculturation could not be attributed to any of the sociodemographic or biological factors included in this study. We discuss the role of psychosocial factors as possible mediators in the relationship between acculturation modes and type 2 diabetes.

Although several new international brands in the information technology services industry have emerged in China, most previous research on the paths of internationalization taken by Chinese brands has focused on the manufacturing industry. Further exploration of the diversity and novel characteristics of these paths remains necessary. Taking into account the different industries and the interactions among multiple factors that are relevant in this context, supplementary research on the paths of internationalization taken by Chinese brands is also needed.

Germany is a country of immigration; 27% of the population are people with a migration background (PMB). As other countries, Germany faces difficulties in adequately including hard-to-survey populations like PMB into national public health monitoring. The IMIRA project was initiated to develop strategies to adequately include PMB into public health monitoring and to represent diversity in public health reporting.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) rates have been reported to differ between immigrants and native-born women in high-income countries.
Objective: We assessed the CS rate and its relationship with the CS rate in country of nationality and other explanatory factors among women of different nationalities including Qatari women who underwent deliveries at our hospital to generate evidence that will quantify and help explain the observed CS rates in our hospital.
Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the second-largest public maternity hospital in Qatar, Al-Wakra Hospital (AWH), data for all births delivered in 2019 were retrieved from the hospital's electronic medical records.
The Susceptibility to Persuasion Strategies Among Arab Muslims: The Role of Culture and Acculturation.
Front Psychol
August 2021
University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how cultural background and acculturation impact susceptibility to Cialdini's persuasion strategies among Arab Muslims.
- It involved 1,315 participants from various backgrounds (residents, immigrants in non-Arab, East Asian, and Western countries) who completed an online survey.
- Key findings showed consistent patterns of susceptibility, with reciprocity being the most effective strategy and authority the least, indicating that immigration and acculturation do not significantly alter these persuasion dynamics within Arabic Muslim culture.
