Dutch: scored higher on individualistic belifs and lower on collectivistic
beliefs compared to the other two groups > general beliefs
Hardly any differences in domain-specific beliefs (except: Flaws of the individualism/collectivism model
maintainging order and observing group rules) Schematic and stigmatising
Most cultures combine individualistic and collectivistic features
As do individuals within cultures
The model does not capture the mechanisms of migration
Is the Dutch society individualistic?
Are non-Western societies collectivistic?
Continuum instead of a dichotomy
Co-existence: heterogeneity within society and within individuals
Context-dependent (individual vs team performance)
, Policy perspectives in NL (Entzinger, 2014) Berry’s (2005) acculturation model
Societal
Until 1980: Immigration as temporary phenomenon > exclusion?
- People were expected to return to their home country
- Policy focused on temporary accommodation and welfare measures + maintanance of heritage culture -
- Contact Participation/relationship sought among groups +
- Focused on preservation of own culture
Mother tongue teaching in primary school
After 1980: Minorities policy Multiculturality Melting pot
- Minorities > group identification and specific policy
- Drop the idea of temporariness
- Multicultural approach > preservation of own culture
- Promote participation in society Segregation Exclusion
- Economic difficult times > high unemployment
- Participation rates (post) secondary education > drop out
- Marginalization
- Not really part of Dutch society Individual
1990: Integration policy + maintanance of heritage culture -
- Contact Participation/relationship sought among groups +
- Mandatory language and integration classes poor quality
- High unemployment and reliance on social policy provisions
- Segregation in society and schools in particular Integration Assimilation
- Pillarized school system Islamic primary schools
- High delinquency rates among certain groups
- Towards 2000 > higher employment rates > success of the second
generation
Segregation Marginalisation
2000: Policy towards assimilation
- (inter)national events: 9/11, killing of Pim Fortuyn
- Public debate on integration and failure in this
- Changing political (populist) discourse -> “Dutch” identity
- Culturalization Fassaert et al., 2009:
- Growing emphasis on Islam as cause for all problems (killing Assimilation: old culture gone, full participation in new culture
of van Gogh) (melting pot) > participation in health care
- (Fear of) radicalization Segregation: old culte stays, little participation in new culture
- Public opinion > growing mistrust between Muslims and (seperation)
non-Muslims Marginalisation: both cultures are let go (exclusion)
Integration: Old culture stays, full participation in new culture
- Stereotypes on specific groups (e.g., Polish)
(multicultiorism) > participation in health care
- Polarization: growing divide in society
Week 3 Cultural Diversity in Youth services and care
Overrepresentation in more acute, involuntary care (Boon et
al., 2010; Health Council NL, 2012; CBS Youth Monitor, 2016).
Immigrants in NL
- Education-gap is decreasing Cauce et al., 2002: Theoretical model of help-seeking.
- School-dropout is decreasing 1. Problem recognition
- (seemingly) More psychological problems - Objective: exhibiting certain symtoms
- More unemployment - Subjective: Actually experience a problem
- More delinquency - Migrants reconize this less often (Verhulp et al., 2013)
- Persistent (local) language deficiencies - Don’t know what to look for
- Perception (ab)normal behaviour
Underrepresentation in youth mental care (Boon et al., 2010; - Talking w/ others
de Haan, 2012), youth care (Health council, 2012; CBS Youth 2. Decision to seek help
Monitor, 2016), professional care internalizing problems - Not an automatic result
(Verhulp et al., 2013) - Only if undesirable and won’t solve itself
- Depends, on beliefs, confidence and familiarity in
(mental) care (Verhulp et al., 2017)
3. Mental health service selection
- Formal (therapist)
- Terminate prematurely, less improvement
- Feel less understood (Knipscheer et al., 2017)
- Informal (parents) > but gossip (Flink et al., 2013)
