Migrants' subjective sense of home deserves further research attention. In the particular context of the United Kingdom's (UK's) decision to leave the European Union (‘Brexit’), we interviewed 10 European citizens living in the UK about their sense of home, using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). In our analysis, we identified themes of (1) having more than one home, (2) making and finding a new home, (3) being permanently different from the non‐migrant population and (4) a concern about feeling safe and welcome. Migration and sense of home involved building and rebuilding personal and social identity. Making a new home was effortful, and neither the old home nor the difference from the native population ever disappeared psychologically. This adds an experiential aspect to the idea of ‘integration’ in acculturation. Different notions of home were linked to different experiences of the impact of the Brexit referendum. We discuss the connections between acculturation, sense of home and lived experience and propose lived identity as a fruitful subject matter for social psychology.

英国脱欧公投后，作为一名欧洲移民，有家、有家、有家的感觉：一项解释性现象学研究


流动人口的主观家乡感值得进一步研究。在英国 (UK) 决定脱离欧盟 (“Brexit”) 的特定背景下，我们利用解释现象学分析 (IPA) 采访了 10 位居住在英国的欧洲公民，了解他们的家感。在我们的分析中，我们确定了以下主题：(1) 拥有多个住房，(2) 建造并寻找新家，(3) 与非移民人口永久不同，(4) 对安全感和受欢迎感的担忧。移民和家乡感涉及建立和重建个人和社会身份。建造新家是一件费力的事，而老家和与当地人的差异在心理上都没有消失。这为文化适应中的“整合”理念增添了体验的一面。不同的家庭观念与英国脱欧公投影响的不同经历有关。我们讨论文化适应、家庭感和生活体验之间的联系，并提出生活身份作为社会心理学的一个富有成效的主题。
