cultural and linguistic backgrounds to learn from one another and with each other, thereby preparing the next generation to navigate today\u2019s multicultural society. Yet, at the same time, socially and ethnically diverse schools also face various challenges. In many European contexts, like Flanders, ethnically minoritized students and students from working class backgrounds have less well-being, feel less at home, and show worse academic performance than their ethnic majority peers and\/or peers from (white) middle to upper class backgrounds. For over 50 years, scientists in both sociology, psychology and educational sciences have tried to explain and mitigate these inequalities. In recent years, there has been a shift away from pointing at individual level factors to recognizing the important role of the school culture as well as the potential cultural \u2018(mis)match\u2019 between students\u2019 and schools\u2019 cultures. In the current research project, we aim to uncover some of the hitherto rather \u201cinvisible barriers\u201d to equity in education such as potential discrepancies between students\u2019 typical ways of &#8220;being&#8221;, thinking, and getting motivated and those that are (often unintentionally) promoted and rewarded by schools. In PsychAcc, we aim to document the wide variety in ways of being, thinking and getting motivated, how they tend to differ across different socio-cultural context and how they may be differentially associated with outcomes such as well-being and school performance. The ultimate goal is not to promote one way of psychological functioning or behaving, but to increase our understanding and appreciation of the inherent variety therein such that education can, in the long run, be attuned to all cultures and associated psychological tendencies of students, such that all can thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3215p-fbf298c8a0baebd45d33a95d88ce3ccf\">\n.avia-section.av-3215p-fbf298c8a0baebd45d33a95d88ce3ccf{\nbackground-color:#ceedf2;\nbackground-image:unset;\nposition:relative;\n}\n.avia-section.av-3215p-fbf298c8a0baebd45d33a95d88ce3ccf .avia-divider-svg-top svg{\nheight:30px;\nwidth:calc(100% + 1.3px);\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-3215p-fbf298c8a0baebd45d33a95d88ce3ccf main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='avia-divider-svg avia-divider-svg-wave-brush avia-divider-svg-top avia-svg-original'><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 283.5 27.8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path d=\"M283.5,9.7c0,0-7.3,4.3-14,4.6c-6.8,0.3-12.6,0-20.9-1.5c-11.3-2-33.1-10.1-44.7-5.7\ts-12.1,4.6-18,7.4c-6.6,3.2-20,9.6-36.6,9.3C131.6,23.5,99.5,7.2,86.3,8c-1.4,0.1-6.6,0.8-10.5,2c-3.8,1.2-9.4,3.8-17,4.7\tc-3.2,0.4-8.3,1.1-14.2,0.9c-1.5-0.1-6.3-0.4-12-1.6c-5.7-1.2-11-3.1-15.8-3.7C6.5,9.2,0,10.8,0,10.8V0h283.5V9.7z M260.8,11.3\tc-0.7-1-2-0.4-4.3-0.4c-2.3,0-6.1-1.2-5.8-1.1c0.3,0.1,3.1,1.5,6,1.9C259.7,12.2,261.4,12.3,260.8,11.3z M242.4,8.6\tc0,0-2.4-0.2-5.6-0.9c-3.2-0.8-10.3-2.8-15.1-3.5c-8.2-1.1-15.8,0-15.1,0.1c0.8,0.1,9.6-0.6,17.6,1.1c3.3,0.7,9.3,2.2,12.4,2.7\tC239.9,8.7,242.4,8.6,242.4,8.6z M185.2,8.5c1.7-0.7-13.3,4.7-18.5,6.1c-2.1,0.6-6.2,1.6-10,2c-3.9,0.4-8.9,0.4-8.8,0.5\tc0,0.2,5.8,0.8,11.2,0c5.4-0.8,5.2-1.1,7.6-1.6C170.5,14.7,183.5,9.2,185.2,8.5z M199.1,6.9c0.2,0-0.8-0.4-4.8,1.1\tc-4,1.5-6.7,3.5-6.9,3.7c-0.2,0.1,3.5-1.8,6.6-3C197,7.5,199,6.9,199.1,6.9z M283,6c-0.1,0.1-1.9,1.1-4.8,2.5s-6.9,2.8-6.7,2.7\tc0.2,0,3.5-0.6,7.4-2.5C282.8,6.8,283.1,5.9,283,6z M31.3,11.6c0.1-0.2-1.9-0.2-4.5-1.2s-5.4-1.6-7.8-2C15,7.6,7.3,8.5,7.7,8.6\tC8,8.7,15.9,8.3,20.2,9.3c2.2,0.5,2.4,0.5,5.7,1.6S31.2,11.9,31.3,11.6z M73,9.2c0.4-0.1,3.5-1.6,8.4-2.6c4.9-1.1,8.9-0.5,8.9-0.8\tc0-0.3-1-0.9-6.2-0.3S72.6,9.3,73,9.2z M71.6,6.7C71.8,6.8,75,5.4,77.3,5c2.3-0.3,1.9-0.5,1.9-0.6c0-0.1-1.1-0.2-2.7,0.2\tC74.8,5.1,71.4,6.6,71.6,6.7z M93.6,4.4c0.1,0.2,3.5,0.8,5.6,1.8c2.1,1,1.8,0.6,1.9,0.5c0.1-0.1-0.8-0.8-2.4-1.3\tC97.1,4.8,93.5,4.2,93.6,4.4z M65.4,11.1c-0.1,0.3,0.3,0.5,1.9-0.2s2.6-1.3,2.2-1.2s-0.9,0.4-2.5,0.8C65.3,10.9,65.5,10.8,65.4,11.1\tz M34.5,12.4c-0.2,0,2.1,0.8,3.3,0.9c1.2,0.1,2,0.1,2-0.2c0-0.3-0.1-0.5-1.6-0.4C36.6,12.8,34.7,12.4,34.5,12.4z M152.2,21.1\tc-0.1,0.1-2.4-0.3-7.5-0.3c-5,0-13.6-2.4-17.2-3.5c-3.6-1.1,10,3.9,16.5,4.1C150.5,21.6,152.3,21,152.2,21.1z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M269.6,18c-0.1-0.1-4.6,0.3-7.2,0c-7.3-0.7-17-3.2-16.6-2.9c0.4,0.3,13.7,3.1,17,3.3\tC267.7,18.8,269.7,18,269.6,18z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M227.4,9.8c-0.2-0.1-4.5-1-9.5-1.2c-5-0.2-12.7,0.6-12.3,0.5c0.3-0.1,5.9-1.8,13.3-1.2\tS227.6,9.9,227.4,9.8z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M204.5,13.4c-0.1-0.1,2-1,3.2-1.1c1.2-0.1,2,0,2,0.3c0,0.3-0.1,0.5-1.6,0.4\tC206.4,12.9,204.6,13.5,204.5,13.4z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M201,10.6c0-0.1-4.4,1.2-6.3,2.2c-1.9,0.9-6.2,3.1-6.1,3.1c0.1,0.1,4.2-1.6,6.3-2.6\tS201,10.7,201,10.6z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M154.5,26.7c-0.1-0.1-4.6,0.3-7.2,0c-7.3-0.7-17-3.2-16.6-2.9c0.4,0.3,13.7,3.1,17,3.3\tC152.6,27.5,154.6,26.8,154.5,26.7z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M41.9,19.3c0,0,1.2-0.3,2.9-0.1c1.7,0.2,5.8,0.9,8.2,0.7c4.2-0.4,7.4-2.7,7-2.6\tc-0.4,0-4.3,2.2-8.6,1.9c-1.8-0.1-5.1-0.5-6.7-0.4S41.9,19.3,41.9,19.3z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M75.5,12.6c0.2,0.1,2-0.8,4.3-1.1c2.3-0.2,2.1-0.3,2.1-0.5c0-0.1-1.8-0.4-3.4,0\tC76.9,11.5,75.3,12.5,75.5,12.6z\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M15.6,13.2c0-0.1,4.3,0,6.7,0.5c2.4,0.5,5,1.9,5,2c0,0.1-2.7-0.8-5.1-1.4\tC19.9,13.7,15.7,13.3,15.6,13.2z\"\/>\n<\/svg><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1630'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2jl9p-accf711cbfcfb8ddd6bfa9f4f4baba74 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-9  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic left-to-right  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-271sx-9aace4c6c048b03c39bc18e4a4f84253 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>A crucial element of the PsychAcc project is that it will identify the diversity in ways of being, thinking and becoming motivated over time and study cultural changes in them. We call this process of change &#8220;psychological acculturation&#8221; &#8211; that is, changes in psychological and behavioral patterns that occur through prolonged contact with another culture. To date, our understanding of psychological acculturation is limited because most studies focus on explicit cultural affiliations of ethnic minorities by looking at their cultural attitudes and identities, and thus focus on minority readiness. PsychAcc extends current (limited) approaches and theories on acculturation by examining whether fundamental psychological processes such as self-image, cognition and motivation &#8211; which systematically differ across cultures and therefore implicitly reflect people&#8217;s cultural affiliations &#8211; are also subject to acculturative changes.   <\/p>\n<p>If so, we will further explore which factors at the individual, teacher and school level co-shape students\u2019 acculturative trajectories in these domains over time. Furthermore, we will, for the first time, look at whether different psychological domains (e.g., cognition vs. identity) change at different rates or in different directions, and\/or influence one another across timepoints. It is then our goal to explore how different \u2018acculturative profiles\u2019 are associated with different student outcomes in terms of well-being and school achievement to increase our understanding of how the complex and multifaceted processes of acculturation relate to students\u2019 thriving.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled\"

minoritized backgrounds in Flanders, but also among their ethnic majority peers, because acculturation is very likely a two-way process affecting just everyone navigating culturally diverse groups and intercultural interactions. Throughout this process of change, we hypothesize that meaningful intercultural interactions are crucial, because it is in these types of interactions that people may mutually learn to see the world in different ways. In a series of lab studies we will try to simulate such meaningful intercultural exchanges to document, for the very first time, the exact micro-processes that instigate acculturative change. As such, we aim to start opening the \u2018black box\u2019 of acculturation and pave the way for future interventions that aim to increase mutual understanding of the world.   <\/p>\n<p>In summary, PsychAcc wants to redefine psychological acculturation. No longer as a monolithic (quite stable) process that refers to ethnic minorities\u2019 explicit willingness to participate in society. But as a multifaceted process that affects all domains of the psyche that reflect cultural affiliations in implicit and explicit ways, and that emerges from meaningful intercultural interactions and, as such, affects all of us engaging in diverse socio-cultural worlds.<\/p>\n<p>It is our sincere hope that these deeper insights into &#8220;acculturation&#8221; and &#8220;integration&#8221; can ultimately promote greater mutual understanding, social cohesion and thriving in today\u2019s increasingly diverse societies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled\"

><p>The large PsychAcc project consists of four different studies that employ a combination of cross-cultural, longitudinal, experimental, and observational designs to explore both the processes of acculturation and (their impact on) educational inequalities. Our studies mainly focus on ethnic majority and minoritized youth in Belgium. We specifically focus on adolescents (ages 14-18) in secondary schools, because the school context is a primary context for socialization and thus also acculturation. This focus also allows to explore the role of teachers and schools in fostering or hampering acculturative processes and their links with outcomes and lends societal relevance to our potential findings as these may shed light on hitherto invisible barriers to equity in education.    <\/p>\n<div id=\"ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled\" data-extension-version=\"1.0.4\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-yab1-e71771629ab9acdfa77c2702b6b0a169 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-animated-generic left-to-right  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4zf2p-1b6292b5f7eb1d46e129476aa971f685\">\n.av_font_icon.av-4zf2p-1b6292b5f7eb1d46e129476aa971f685{\ncolor:#ffffff;\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n.avia-svg-icon.av-4zf2p-1b6292b5f7eb1d46e129476aa971f685 svg:first-child{\nstroke:#ffffff;\nfill:#ffffff;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-4zf2p-1b6292b5f7eb1d46e129476aa971f685 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:230px;\nline-height:230px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-4zf2p-1b6292b5f7eb1d46e129476aa971f685 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center avia-iconfont avia-font-flaticon_psychacc-2 avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\uf147' data-av_iconfont='flaticon_psychacc-2' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_5'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1630'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5wt5p-a06097c27b8ce5d7467a184a1ef63180\">\n.avia_transform .flex_column.av-5wt5p-a06097c27b8ce5d7467a184a1ef63180{\nanimation-duration:1.5s;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-5wt5p-a06097c27b8ce5d7467a184a1ef63180 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic left-to-right  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-2j5zp-02cf9bc6146ce71de2ecbb3c94d51786 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p>We are currently still conducting these studies.
