About the project
With unprecedented amounts of migration, understanding which psychological factors contribute to successful inclusion of migrants is one of the top priorities of today’s era. Yet, cross-cultural adaptation research cannot fully assist with this priority because it is scattered across several disciplinary areas and plagued by contradictory results and difficulties to replicate key findings. To reach meaningful conclusions, cross-cultural adaptation research is in urgent need of a comprehensive, methodologically robust synthesis, and the current project will provide it.
Objectives
This project's general aim is to integrate findings on factors that impede or facilitate cross-cultural adaptation of migrants by means of a series of large-scale, methodologically advanced meta-analyses.
Outcomes
As the largest meta-analytic endeavor in the area of migrant acculturation to date, this project will considerably advance the understanding of how migrants may achieve favorable psychological and societal outcomes, inform migration-related policies and interventions at any level, and ultimately contribute to improved welfare of migrant populations.
