Abstract

In order to promote adolescents of Li's national identity and acculturation, we use the questionnaires which are the national identity questionnaire, the cultural alienation of ethnic students, family intimacy and adaptability questionnaire, social support questionnaire to investigate 1008 Li adolescents in Hainan. This paper established a structural equation model, and explored that the national identity of Li adolescents has direct negative effect to the cultural alienation. The total effect c was -0.261, the direct effect was significant (c =-0.208, p<0.001), the total indirect effect was significant too (c-c =-0.053, p<0.001).The adolescents of Li's national identity can indirectly influence cultural alienation through family intimacy (a1b1=-0.032, p<0.010), also indirectly influence cultural alienation by social support (a2b2=-0.021, p<0.01). The family intimacy and social support play multiple mediating roles in Li adolescents' national identity and cultural alienation.
