SIBLINGS AND IMMIGRATION: NEGOTIATING IDENTITY AMONG YOUNG-ADULT IMMIGRANTS IN QUEBEC
The study of identity negotiation among immigrants is particularly relevant in Quebec which receives more than 48,000 immigrants each year (Minister of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion of Québec, 2017). This study uses a qualitative research model to examine the role of sibling relationships in identity negotiation among seven interviewed young-adult immigrants. The results reveal a complex phenomenon associated with individual and familial migration, sibling relationships, and the construction of the self. Related research and clinical recommendations are formulated.
