Abstract
Acculturation is a popular term in cross-cultural psychology, cultural psychology and ethnocultural psychology. The term itself is now used in the study of interaction or more ethnocultural communities, the result of which is the choice of a particular strategy of interaction as an individual and a group. Selected interaction strategies are called strategies, and they include: integration, assimilation, separation, marginalization. The choice of a particular strategy depends on a number of factors, both socio-demographic and psychological. A large number of studies of acculturation to date are implemented in either cross-cultural or psychological-anthropological approaches. The article presents the results of a study of migrants from Ukraine in the United States and presents the factors of acculturation within the cross-cultural approach to its study. The results of the study show that it is necessary to distinguish between socio-demographic and psychological factors. Detailed results and a model of the influence of each individual factor based on the results of a study of Ukrainian migrants are presented. Socio-demographic variables define the distribution of values of individual psychological characteristics. According to the results of t-test, men and women choose integration and separation as acculturation strategies identically. There is a noticeable difference in the choice of marginalization and assimilation. Younger respondents tend to choose assimilation and integration, while older respondents choose marginalization and separation. Integration is often handled by people with strong femininity, openness and purposefulness, mostly young people with a medium cultural distance. Assimilation is mainly chosen by individuals who have a strong openness to new experience, who have a low cultural distance. Separation is chosen by sensual people, often hysterical, purposeful, impulsive, and with high levels of personal aggression. Marginalization is mainly chosen by infantile individuals who are unstable and vulnerable.
