The bicultural life experience of career‐oriented black women
研究了71名黑人女性中21位职业导向者的双文化生活体验，发现她们将生活分隔为黑白两个文化背景，并构建复杂结构来管理双重文化维度。
Abstract This study explores the bicultural life experience of black career‐oriented women. Seventy‐one women participated in a larger study on the life experiences of black women. Of this sample, 21 (29 per cent) of the women were identified as being career‐oriented. Findings reveal that the women perceive themselves as living in two distinct cultural contexts, one black the other one white. The women compartmentalize the various components of their lives in order to manage the bicultural dimensions. In addition, they tend to have highly complex life structures to embrace both cultural contexts.
