Abstract

Based on cultural attachment theory, this study explores the relationship between ethnic cultural authenticity in resettlement communities (community level) and the cultural socialization of relocated ethnic minority individuals (individual level), while also examining the multilevel mediating role of ethnic cultural confidence (individual level). Using a questionnaire survey method, this study surveyed 292 relocated ethnic minority individuals from 50 resettlement communities in Fujian Province, China. The results reveal that: (1) ethnic cultural authenticity in resettlement communities positively predicts the cultural socialization of relocated ethnic minority individuals; (2) ethnic cultural confidence among these individuals acts as a multilevel mediator in the relationship between ethnic cultural authenticity in resettlement communities and individual cultural socialization. The findings of this study not only provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of cultural transmission among ethnic minorities in the context of Relocation to Eliminate Poverty, but also offer theoretical support for policy development.
