Abstract
Part one refers to a systematic review of five quantitative studies exploring the positive and negative impact of cultural frame switching (CFS) on wellbeing. The review highlighted an overall negative impact of CFS on wellbeing, elucidating five key findings. Individuals who engaged in CFS exhibited: reduced life satisfaction, higher levels of perceived discrimination, diminished self-esteem, lower levels of authenticity and elevated levels of psychological symptoms. Part two refers to the empirical project, a joint-project with Eshia Garcha, and examined CFS in a British ethnic minority sample in their everyday lives through ecological momentary analysis. The dynamics and temporal consequences of CFS, anticipating CFS, feelings about CFS and psychological toll were investigated using vector autoregressive analysis. Additionally, we hypothesised that participants would frame-switch more outside of the home environment, and that levels of biculturalism would be lower outside of the home environment.; this was analysed using general linear mixed effects model. Our results showed that the experience of CFS was associated with some psychological toll, and the frequency of CFS specifically did not predict any psychological toll. We also found that CFS and biculturalism were influenced by context. Part three refers to a critical appraisal of the empirical project. The matters discussed are: my personal experiences and how they informed my research, reflections on using ecological momentary analysis and an expanded discussion considering strengths and weaknesses, implications and future directions of the empirical project.
