Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2019, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
Adapting to the new home settlement has significant implications on psychological dimension. This study aims to examine the emotional expression of the immigrants towards the Malay traditional food - the cultural heritage of the ethnic majority in Malaysia, in comparison to Malaysian Malay and Malaysian non-Malay. Through the visualization approach, participants were asked to respond to a series of Malay traditional food images and self-rated their emotional expression by using the Self-assessment Manikin. Emotional expression was significantly lower in immigrants in comparison to Malaysian Malay and Malaysian non-Malay. Acculturation (tendency towards own cultural heritage) factor explained 6% of the variance of emotional expression of the immigrants. Immigrants are undergoing an emotional adaptation while settling in new home.
