| Summary: | This study tried to empirically examine the degree of assimilation and ethnic identification of Malays of Acehnese origin into Malay society. It also examined the relational interplay of cultural assimilation, structural assimilation and marital assimilation to ethnic identification. The data of this study was derived from a questionnaire survey of 100 Malays of Acehnese origin in Kedah and another 100 in Kuala Lumpur/Selangor. The study found that Malays of Acehnese origin both in Kedah and Kuala Lumpur have experienced a high degree of assimilation with a moderately loss of ethnic identification. The research hypotheses of the study were confirmed by the findings that structural assimilation positively and significantly related to cultural assimilation and marital assimilation. Whereas cultural assimilation, structural assimilation and marital assimilation are negatively and significantly correlated with ethnic identification. It was found that marital assimilation, rather than structural assimilation, is playing a pivotal intervening role in reducing degree of ethnic identification of Malays of Acehnese origin in Malaysia. |
