Transnational leisure, ethnic identity conflict and life satisfaction among fourth-generation young adult Korean ethnic minority in China

Abstract

This study explored how engaging in transnational leisure activities affected ethno-cultural identity conflict and life satisfaction among fourth-generation young adult Chaoxianzu, a Korean ethnic minority in China. Online surveys from 145 participants ranging in age from 18 to 34 years old who identified themselves as fourth-generation Chaoxianzu were collected. The regression results showed that visiting cultural heritage sites and families/friends in Korea increased participants’ life satisfaction. Attending ethnic festivals, maintaining social media contact with other Chaoxianzu, and visiting families/friends in Korea decreased their levels of ethno-cultural conflict. Ethno-cultural identity conflict was negatively related to life satisfaction among the Chaoxianzu. Future recommendations and practical implications are discussed.
