Abstract

Immigration implies cognitive, motivational and affective processes
that affect their adaptation to the new society. These processes can be
modified through intervention strategies aimed at these groups. The
literature search focused on documents that allowed analyzing individual
and sociocultural factors associated to acculturation and adaptation processes,
such as individual characteristics, coping strategies, the type of
host society and the social networks of immigrants. Results show three
groups that describe the processes of acculturation: those that focus
on the content (feelings, attitudes, and behaviors), others focus on the
process (establishing relationships between immigrant and native), and
interactive or extended models that combine the two.
