ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on whether matters such as birth place, length of stay in Britain, gender and age might have consequences and if so what they were. Tests were employed to determine whether these independent variables resulted in a range of attitudinal responses. Whilst the effect of place of birth did not, on the face of it, seem likely to be significant, we none the less tested it against a range of responses relating to relationships with parents, schooling and culturally induced attitudes. The results of those tests showed that place of birth had little or no significant effect. Length of stay was an important contributing factor to inter-group differences. Gender is likely to be a significant factor in identity development and self-perception. Using the data collected through the questionnaire, the Mann Whitney U test was used to explore gender differences in the sample when applied to the cultural identity scale.
