Heritage and mainstream acculturation’s association with sexual response in young Chinese men and women in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous research on Chinese individuals in Canada showed that mainstream acculturation (i.e., adoption of the customs and values of mainstream Canadian culture) was consistently associated with more permissive and less restrictive patterns in sexual attitudes, response, and behaviours. However, the role of heritage acculturation (i.e., retention of the customs and values of heritage Chinese culture) was not strongly linked to sexuality variables and remained poorly understood. The current study sought to examine the role of heritage and mainstream acculturation in a new sample of men and women. Undergraduate samples of men (n = 364) and women (n = 467) completed questionnaires on acculturation, and sexual attitudes, experience, fantasy, excitation, inhibition, desire, arousability, sexual anxiety, and sociosexual orientation. Mainstream acculturation was consistently associated with more permissive and less restrictive patterns in the sexuality variables. Heritage acculturation was positively correlated with mainstream acculturation and had some associations with more permissiveness and less restrictiveness among sexuality variables for heterosexual individuals, but the relationship was more complex in non-heterosexual individuals. There were significant interaction effects between mainstream and heritage acculturation observed in heterosexual men. The results replicated past findings with regards to mainstream acculturation, and suggested a potentially subtle and complex role for heritage acculturation. Limitations, theoretical aspects, and clinical implications were discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
