Answer:

A bicultural identity

Step-by-step explanation:

A bicultural identity occurs when one is able to integrate, adapt, incorporate and understand two cultures within one's identity. Such individual with a bicultural identity has the ability to function well and effectively in a bicultural context. Bicultural identity is usually common among refugees, ethnic minorities, immigrants and so on.

For example, in the case of immigrants, some individuals are able to internalize cultural values from their country of origin and new values picked up from their host country.

From the illustration above, Peipei has successfully developed a bicultural identity.
