Excerpt from Psychological Monographs: General and Applied Xvhen an individual migrates into a new cultural setting there are funda mentally three types of adjustment pos sible. The first method consists of seek ing compatriots in an attempt to re establish the old culture in the new sur roundings. Another path is chosen if there are no compatriots in the vicinity, in which chase the migrant may attempt to behave as if he were in the old culture, disregarding the new surroundings as much as possible and letting the other people adapt to him. The third way consists of accepting the behavior pat terns and values of the new setting. It is probable that migrants use all three types of adjustment, but in this country the emphasis lies upon the third method, which in part is the subject of this in vestigation. Regardless of the cultural distance or type of adjustment preferred by the migrant, acculturation will be further modified by the latter's person ality features. Factors such as age, sex, intelligence, maturity, and traits such as extroversion, introspection, isolation, avoidance, sociability, as well as the per sonal value-system will influence the ad justment of the individual.
