A Conceptual Model of the Retrospective Accounts of Chinese Adults Who Immigrated to Canada as Children
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This phenomenological study explores the retrospective accounts of 11 Chinese immigrant adults (9 F, 2 M) who immigrated to Canada when they were children. Six categories and 31 themes were extracted during the analysis of the transcripts. The categories include: (a) Adjusting to a Different Culture; (b) Family; (c) Language; (d) Environment; (e) Friendships; and (f) Self and Identity. In addition to these six categories, two types of variables were discovered that affected the participants’ attainment of a bicultural identity: moderating variables and aggravating variables. A conceptual model of the participant’s experience was developed to reflect the process through which participants develop a bicultural identity. The means by which the model conceptualizes this process and its various components are discussed. Cette étude phénoménologique examine les comptes-rendus rétrospectifs de 11 immigrants chinois adultes (9 F, 2 H.) qui sont venus enfants au Canada. L’analyse des transcriptions a donné six catégories et 31 thèmes. Les catégories incluent a) un ajustement à une culture différente, b) la famille, c) la langue, d) l’environnement, e) l’amitié et f) le Soi et l’identité. Outre ces six points, nous avons découvert deux types d’éléments modificateurs qui ont eu un effet sur l’acquisition d’identités biculturelles : les uns, un effet modérateur, les autres, un aggravateur. Nous avons développé un modèle conceptuel de l’expérience des participants afin de refléter le processus par lequel ces derniers ont atteint une identité biculturelle, et nous examinons la manière dont ce modèle conceptualise ce processus et ses diverses composantes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
