What does Haller's (2011) analysis of the second generation of recent immigrant groups tell us? Does the research support the segmented assimilation mode?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. Students should discuss that the research found support for the segmented assimilation model. The researchers interviewed children of immigrants in the Miami and San Diego areas at different points in their lives. First in the early 1990s when they were at an average age of 14, 3 years later, and 10 years later, when the respondents were at an average of 24. The sample was large and representative of the second generation in the two metropolitan areas where the study was conducted.
