区域文化对客家人族群认同感的影响

The Influence of Regional Culture on Hakka Ethnic Identity

族群认同感是指个体对于本族群的基本信念、态度以及对其族群基本身份的理解和承认。为了更好地了解客家人在不同区域的社会发展进程中族群认同的表现,以生活在广东梅州地区的接受客家文化的客家籍大学生和生活在广东东莞地区的接受广府文化的客家籍大学生作为研究对象,探讨区域文化对客家人族群认同感的影响。研究结果发现,梅州地区客家籍大学生与东莞地区客家籍大学生的族群认同感有显著差异。不管是东莞客家人还是梅州客家人,都比较认同客家人的人格特质,但对人格特质词的反应时存在显著差异。总的来说,生活在梅州地区的客家人族群认同感更强,生活在东莞地区的客家人族群认同感较弱,显示出区域文化对客家人族群认同感的影响。
