“…Their life paths show upward social mobility and active socioinstitutional participation in the Dutch society with the retaining of their original culture. This verifies the theoretical insight of Navas et al (2007) in that various life spheres show various acculturation patterns: while the societal-economic realm is characterized by assimilation, the maintenance of the original culture and identity underlines integration (Figure 1: Path 4) .…”

. This paper draws on an empirical research on the acculturation of Hungarian refugees in the Netherlands . After the bloody repression of the Hungarian uprising against the Soviet rule in 1956, approximately 200,000 people escaped Hungary . Out of them, 5,000 people started a new life in the Netherlands . Despite extensive documentation and memoirs, no systematic research exists on the fate of these Hungarians . With this research, we attempt to fill this knowledge gap by gaining insight into their integration path . By applying a qualitative-interpretative research method, we gathered personal narratives from Hungarian ('ex-') refugees in the Netherlands . We analyse their incorporation into the Dutch society according to various acculturation theories and discuss the (contextual) circumstances influencing these dynamics. The findings show that these Hungarians have successfully acculturated into the host society . They got entirely embedded in the institutional, sociocultural, and economic fabric of their new home country (assimilation) while also maintaining their original culture and identity (integration) . Determining factors are the reception and opportunity structure in the host country, the refugees' young age and willing attitudes to integrate, their grown hybrid identities as well as cultural compatibility .

“…Acculturation styles have been addressed by several authors in the scientific literature, including Berry et al (2006), Berry and Sabatier (2010), Bourhis et al (1997) and Navas et al (2007). They all argue that contact between national majority populations and immigrant groups leads to adaptations in the cultural value systems of both groups.…”

“…For example, preferences for acculturation strategies are said to remain quite stable and mutually exclusive to the extent that people may be classified according to their acculturation profiles (Berry, Phinney, Sam & Vedder, 2006). Others, however, have shown that there are various domains of acculturation which are associated with different acculturation strategies (Arends-Tóth & van de Vijver, 2003Navas et al, 2005;Navas, et al, 2007;Taylor & Lambert, 1996). A second criticism of acculturation research is that it assumes that acculturation strategies are universal without considering the diversity of the migrant experience (Bhatia & Ram, 2009).…”

Identity and acculturation: The case of naturalised citizens in Britain

This paper advances a dialogical perspective on acculturation. Drawing on the theories of social representations and dialogical self, it conceptualises acculturation as a process of negotiation between different or conflicting social representations and identity positions. It is argued that in order to understand acculturation, we need to explore how migrants represent different cultures and how they position themselves towards them. Drawing on thirty-three interviews with new British citizens, the paper examines how participants made sense of their place in Britain by studying the meanings of acculturation for participants themselves. In the interviews British culture was represented in a polyphasic way incorporating both negative and positive values. Therefore, acculturation represented both an enrichment of identity and an identity threat for many of the participants. Participants negotiated their position within this representational field by engaging in a dialogical negotiation between identity positions. The paper concludes that a dialogical approach to knowledge construction (social representations theory) and identity (dialogical self theory) provides appropriate theoretical tools for understanding acculturation as an ongoing process, not a single static outcome.
