dc.description.abstractIn the present cross-sectional study, the relationship between cultural identity conflict and psychological well-being was explored, by examining mediating roles of bicultural self-efficacy and self-esteem. It was hypothesized that cultural identity conflict negatively related to psychological well-being via lowered bicultural self-efficacy and lowered self-esteem subsequently. 79 bicultural young adults (aged 18-35) participated in an online study by completing questionnaires assessing cultural identity conflict; bicultural self-efficacy; self-esteem; psychological well-being. Cultural identity conflict negatively related to bicultural self-efficacy and satisfaction with life. Positive associations were found between bicultural self-efficacy, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life. Self-esteem negatively related to psychopathological symptoms. Mediation via bicultural self-efficacy and self-esteem subsequently was found for the relationship between cultural identity conflict and psychological well-being, underlining the importance of competence when navigating between cultural worlds. Interventions fostering bicultural self-efficacy and self-esteem in bicultural young adults are therefore recommended.
