Abstract:

Acculturation research has mainly focused on the adaptation of immigrant population to host societies. Within this line of research it is increasingly acknowledged that the host society can shape to a large extent the acculturation options of immigrants. The present study focuses on to the way a sample of Greek participants (N = 38) from the city of Thessaloniki construct the acculturation process of immigrants. Following a discourse analytic perspective it is argued that the main acculturation model based on Berry's theory has failed to take under consideration important aspects of how the dominant group views the adaptation of immigrants.
