“…Instead, time horizons can only be assessed and compared indirectly through auxiliary constructs. One of these constructs that have been developed is the Life Space Sample (LSS) technique of Graves (1962Graves ( , 1967Graves ( , 1974 and Jessor et al (1968) who for their part were inspired by the Future Time Perspective Inventory of Wallace (1956). The LSS technique asks participants to look ahead and generate a list of a number of events (usually ten) the participants plan to do or expect to happen in the future.…”

Long range (or strategic) planning is an important tool for forest management to deal with the complex and unpredictable future. However, it is the ability to make meaningful predictions about the rapidly changing future that is questioned. What appears to be particularly neglected is the question of the length of time horizons and the limits (if any) to these horizons, despite being considered one of the most critical factors in strategic planning. As the future creation of values lies within individual responsibility, this research empirically explored the limits (if any) of individual foresters' time horizons. To draw comparisons between countries with diVerent traditions in forest management planning, data were collected through telephone surveys of forest managers in the state/national forest services of the Netherlands and Germany. In order to minimize other cultural diVerences, the research in Germany concentrated on the federal state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, which has considerable similarities with the Netherlands, e.g. in topography, forest types and forest functions. The results show that, in practice, 15 years appears to be the most distant horizon that foresters can identify with. This is in sharp contrast to the time horizons spanning decades and even generations that are always said to exist in forestry. The "doctrine of the long run"-the faith in the capacity of foresters to overcome the barriers of the uncertain future and look ahead and plan for long-range goals-which in many countries still underlies traditional forest management, can therefore be rejected.

“…Graves (1967, cited in Berry 1989 calls the acculturation at the individual level 'psychological acculturation,' or "the change that an individual experiences as a result of being in contact with other cultures and a result of participating in the process of acculturation that one's cultural or ethnic group is undergoing." The psychological acculturation is realized in such areas as the individuals' behavior, identity, values, and attitudes.…”

“…Initially, acculturation was determined as a process of long-time communication between bearers of different cultures resulting in social and cultural pattern transformation inside one or more social groups. Later, Graves detailed psychological acculturation at the individual level as changes faced by an individual or a group, ethnic or cultural, interconnecting with other cultures (Graves 1967). Economic globalization trends have resulted in migration flows increasing all over the world and they require cross-cultural cooperation in everyday life (Rudnev 2014).…”

The Role of the Host Local Population in the Process of Migrants’ Adaptation

Social and psychological adaptation in a new country can be more or less successful depending on a number of factors. Research into behavioral patterns of migrants residing in Russia has revealed differences in their acculturation strategies and other expressions of migrant ethnic identity. These is a noticeable dependence on types of migrant settlement which can be compact or widespread. Local host population also demonstrates an unequal attitude toward compactly and diffusely settled migrants. This paper describes an attempt to find and analyze correlations between the length of residing in a new ethno-cultural environment, involvement in regional ethnic communities, contact with the host population, and ethnic identity. Differences in adaptation strategies develop three main ethnic identity models. Each model reflects general indicators of migrant adjustability to a new environment and new life.
