Anotace

Acculturation is most commonly defined as the process of cultural and psychological changes that occur when individuals from different cultural backgrounds come into direct and prolonged contact. Acculturation applies to indigenous peoples (e.g. Aborigines in Australia); established ethno-cultural groups which identify with their country of origin and its language (e.g. the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic); immigrants; people coming to the host country voluntarily for a limited period of time (e.g. students, diplomats, laborers); refugees and asylum seekers coming to the host country involuntarily. This review study introduces current knowledge of acculturation, briefly describes the history and development of its investigation, and defines the tenn acculturation in relation to ethnic identity, assimilation and multiculturalism. It briefly summarizes the sociological and anthropological approach. The study provides a critical review of the most important theories and models based on contact (e.g. Berry's model of acculturation strategies), adoption of the host culture (e.g. Bourhis interactive acculturation model) and models aimed at identity (e.g. Bicultural identity integration by &net-Martinez). The study also introduces the acculturation research in the Czech Republic and offers new directions of future research. Last but not least, two approaches to measuring acculturation are mentioned and some examples of the measuring methods are introduced.
