Une analyse classificatoire hiérarchique a dégagé quatre groupes : intégré (biculturel), séparé, marginalisé et assimilé-individualiste. Les groupes marginalisé et séparé se caractérisaient par un niveau plus élevé de comportements antisociaux. Les niveaux de symptomatologie dépressive et d’estime de soi ne différenciaient pas les quatre groupes.Objective. — The aim of the study was to explore the typology of adolescents with immigrant background based on the orientations of acculturation and to estimate the psychosocial adap- tation of the various subtypes. Method. — A sample of 228 French high school students with an immigrant background com- pleted a questionnaire assessing acculturation orientations (Immigrant Acculturation Scale; Barrette et al., 2004), antisocial behaviors, depressive symptoms and self-esteem. Cluster analysis based on acculturation orientations was performed using the k-means method. Results. — Cluster analysis produced four distinct acculturation profiles: bicultural (31%), sepa- rated (28%), marginalized (21%), and assimilated-individualistic (20%). Adolescents in the separated and marginalized clusters, both characterized by rejection of the host culture, repor- ted higher levels of antisocial behavior. Depressive symptoms and self-esteem did not differ between clusters. Discussion.—Several hypotheses may explain the association between separation and delin- quency. First, separation and rejection of the host culture may lead to rebellious behavior such as delinquency. Conversely, delinquent behavior may provoke rejection or discrimina- tion by peers or school, or legal sanctions that induce a reciprocal process of rejection of the host culture and separation. The relationship between separation and antisocial behavior may be bidirectional, each one reinforcing the other, resulting in a negative spiral. This study confirms the interest of the study of the orientations of acculturation in the understanding of the antisocial behavior of adolescents with immigrant background.frPsychologiePsychopathologieType de référence::Article dans une revue scientifique10.1016/j.encep.2014.10.020
