Oetting and beauvais" orthogonal cultural identification theory. Cultural identification as a source of strength. High level of cultural identification indicates that the person feels competent to function in that culture and implies access to cultural benefits. Low cultural identification indicates little access to cultural resources and should lead to negative outcomes.
