ALMEIDA WEBER, João Luís et al. Acculturative orientations and ethnicracial prejudice toward haitian immigrants in southern brazil. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.1, pp.217-231.  Epub Feb 15, 2023. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.8168.

This study aimed to identify the acculturative orientations of a Brazilian host community from a small countryside city toward Haitian immigrants and investigate which factors related to racial prejudice, quality of life, and sociodemographic characteristics were associated with adopted acculturative orientations. Eighty-eight host community members were interviewed, and the results indicated that the most adopted acculturative orientations are individualism and integration. Higher quality of life and lesser racial prejudice are related to individualism and integration. In contrast, lower perceived quality of life and greater racial prejudice are connected to segregation and exclusionism. The results show the importance of a migratory policy that follows the integrative model, informing the population about the theme and focusing on actions that can tackle racial prejudice, which is the leading sphere in acculturative orientations that exclude Haitian immigrants from society.

Keywords : acculturation; prejudice; quality of life; Haitian immigration; Brazil.
