Conceptual Framework

This document presents a conceptual framework and theoretical framework for understanding the cultural adaptation of Filipino residents in Chinatown. The conceptual framework diagram shows that the independent variables of Chinese and Filipino culture, as well as individual differences and perceptions, influence the dependent variable of cultural adaptation. The theoretical framework discusses Ellingsworth's Intercultural Adaptation Theory, which describes how individuals interacting in a new culture may change their identities and behaviors to adapt, influenced by their goals, motivation, and power dynamics in interactions.

Figure 2.2 The Intercultural Adaptation Theory (IAT) (Ellingsworth, 1988) describes the conditions under which individuals interacting in a new cultural environment make changes in their identities and behavior (adapt or not). The theory argues that the process of adaptation is goal driven; individuals are interacting and communicating to accomplish some goals. Various factors influence intercultural adaptation, including participants motivation and power in the interaction (Ellingsworth, 1988).
