Ethnic Identification, Language, and Values: The Case of Polish Emigres.

Giles, Howard; And Others

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v10 n2 p107-16 1989

Analysis of Polish emigres' (N=90) responses to a value survey (in English or Polish) showed predictable differences, according to level of cultural identification, notably about values of spirituality and traditional/conservative responsibility. A follow-up study of emigres to Tasmania yielded both similarities and dissimilarities in value structures. (28 references) (Author/CB)
