“Naturalization, the ritual of transition from the migrant outgroup to the national ingroup, is a crucial step in the acculturation process of immigrants. In four empirical chapters, our goal is to approach, from the national majority and the naturalized minority perspective, social psychological dynamics related to citizenship acquisition. First, we study social representations of citizenship conveyed within Swiss society. Results contrast inclusive representations grounded on birthright and cultural similarity, and exclusive representations grounded on lack of assimilation and individual deservingness. Second, we study acculturation expectations endorsed by national majority members. Results show that heritage culture maintenance by naturalization applicants from devalued countries is negatively evaluated. Lack of perceived national attachment and individual deservingness mediate this effect. Third, we study naturalization motives and feelings of inclusion reported by naturalized people. Results show that belongingness and political participation motives are related to greater feelings of inclusion in the national community, while instrumentality is related to lower feelings of inclusion. Moreover, naturalized citizens from devalued countries feel less included than those from valued countries. Fourth, we study anti-immigration sentiment endorsed by naturalized minority members. Results show two pathways of political incorporation. Whereas the former strategy stems from belongingness motives and is positively related to anti-immigration sentiment, the latter stems from instrumental motives and is negatively related to anti-immigration sentiment. Altogether, the present thesis highlights an assimilation pressure directed towards naturalized citizens. Although assimilation is related to greater inclusion to the national community, it is simultaneously connected to forms of exclusion of immigrant minorities.”<\/p>\n

“Rituel de passage de l\u2019exogroupe migrant \u00e0 l\u2019endogroupe national, la naturalisation constitue une \u00e9tape cruciale dans le processus d’acculturation des personnes immigr\u00e9es. A travers quatre chapitres empiriques, notre objectif est d\u2019aborder, \u00e0 partir d\u2019une perspective majoritaire et minoritaire, les probl\u00e9matiques li\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019acquisition de la nationalit\u00e9. Premi\u00e8rement, nous \u00e9tudions les repr\u00e9sentations sociales de la citoyennet\u00e9 v\u00e9hicul\u00e9es au sein de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 suisse. Les r\u00e9sultats montrent une diff\u00e9rence entre les repr\u00e9sentations inclusives, fond\u00e9es sur le droit de naissance et la similitude culturelle, et celles exclusives, fond\u00e9es sur le manque d’assimilation et le m\u00e9rite individuel. Deuxi\u00e8mement, nous \u00e9tudions la question des attentes d’acculturation de la part des membres de la majorit\u00e9 nationale. Les r\u00e9sultats montrent que le maintien culturel de la part des candidats \u00e0 la naturalisation provenant de pays d\u00e9valoris\u00e9s est \u00e9valu\u00e9 n\u00e9gativement. Le manque d’attachement national per\u00e7u et de m\u00e9rite m\u00e9diatise cet effet. Troisi\u00e8mement, nous \u00e9tudions les diff\u00e9rents sentiments d\u2019inclusion et motivations li\u00e9es \u00e0 la naturalisation chez les personnes naturalis\u00e9es. Les r\u00e9sultats montrent que la volont\u00e9 d\u2019appartenance et de participation politique pr\u00e9disent un plus grand sentiment d’inclusion \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 nationale, alors que l’instrumentalit\u00e9 pr\u00e9dise un sentiment d’inclusion plus faible. De plus, les personnes provenant de pays d\u00e9valoris\u00e9s se sentent moins incluses que celles provenant de pays valoris\u00e9s. Quatri\u00e8mement, nous \u00e9tudions le sentiment anti-immigration report\u00e9 par les membres de minorit\u00e9s naturalis\u00e9es. Les r\u00e9sultats montrent deux strat\u00e9gies d\u2019incorporation politique diff\u00e9rentes. Alors que la premi\u00e8re strat\u00e9gie d\u00e9coule de la volont\u00e9 d’appartenance et est positivement li\u00e9e au sentiment anti-immigration, la seconde s\u2019ancre dans des consid\u00e9rations instrumentales et est n\u00e9gativement li\u00e9e au sentiment anti-immigration. Dans l’ensemble, la pr\u00e9sente th\u00e8se met en \u00e9vidence une pression d’assimilation dirig\u00e9e vers les citoyen\u00b7e\u00b7s naturalis\u00e9\u00b7e\u00b7s. M\u00eame si l’assimilation est associ\u00e9e \u00e0 une plus grande inclusion au sein de la communaut\u00e9 nationale, celle-ci est simultan\u00e9ment li\u00e9e \u00e0 des formes d\u2019exclusion des minorit\u00e9s immigrantes.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
