Definition

  • Acculturation is defined as the extent to which an ethnic minority individual participates in the values and beliefs of the dominant ethnic-majority culture. Acculturation can be thought of as a continuum from traditional at one extreme, to bicultural in the middle, to acculturated at the other extreme.
