Acculturation in the Inheritance Law of the Dayak Ngaju community

The Dayak community, as an agrarian community, respects and upholds the noble values of their ancestors. These values strongly affect their social and cultural system, including the customs and traditions of inheritance settlement. This research is descriptive-analytic using a phenomenology approach. The aim is to identify the uniqueness of the traditional heritage of the Dayak Ngaju tribe in Palangka Raya through the perspective of acculturation theory of culture and law. The study shows that the acculturation model that occurs in Palangka Raya is an adjustment model, in which the process of adjustment and adaptation of one culture to other cultures occurs without forming a new culture. In addition, this study also finds that the community kinship system also influences the application of inheritance law among the Ngaju Dayak indigenous people, Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan.

A Model for Acculturation Dialogue Between Religion, Local Wisdom, and Power: A Strategy to Minimize Violent Behavior in the Name of Religion in Indonesia

This research aims to create a model for acculturation dialogue between representatives of religion, local wisdom, and power. The study uses a socially defined paradigm as an approach to cultural acculturation and adopts the theory of institutional development acculturation of Islam (almuhaafadhatu ala al-qadiimi al-shaalih wa al-akhdu bi al-jadiidi al-ashlah). This research found five models for acculturation dialogue between religion, local wisdom and power, namely, 1) taggayyur /deculturating /changing, 2) takammul /additive/ perfecting, 3) tahammul /considerate /tolerant, 4) tasallum /inclusive /receptive, and 5) tamsarrub /institutive /absorbing. The first acculturation model tends to reject the other cultures. The second model tends to be open and cross-sectoral in its approach. The third model is tolerant and accepting of all. The fourth model tends to be open and objective in recognizing truth and goodness from outside of itself, an acculturation model that has the potential to create peace and harmony. The fifth model seeks to absorb universal values so that together cultures are institutionalized into a new cultural unity.

A Study on Intercultural Contact Factors and Acculturation: a Survey of African Merchants in Guangzhou

This paper adopted a qualitative study of questionnaires to identity how selected intercultural contact factors are correlated with psychological and sociocultural adaptation. It is found that psychological and sociocultural adaptation situations of African merchants in Guangzhou are both moderately well;psychological adaptation of African merchants was proved to be correlated with 5 intercultural contact factors.; the sociocultural adaptation of African merchants was proved to be correlated with 5 intercultural contact factors;correlation analysis proved that outgroup social support has a stronger positive correlation with both psychological and sociocultural adaptation than ingroup social support, which is the main source of social support for African merchants;the overlapping and strength differences of correlations show that the two acculturation dimensions of African merchants are distinct and interrelated, thus verified the Colleen Ward's two-dimension acculturation model in the group of African merchants in Guangzhou.

“I Was New and I Was Afraid”

This article utilized Berry’s acculturation model (1974, 1980, 1997) as the framework for understanding the social experiences of international first-year students in a large, public institution in the Southeast United States. Using a descriptive phenomenological research design and a sample of 10 international students, this study examined the extent to which each of the four strategies defined by the acculturation model—assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization—emerged from the social experiences of international students during their first year of college. The results revealed that all 10 participants shared the experiences of separation, either voluntary or involuntary. For seven students in the sample, the freshman year was characterized by either willing or unwilling integration. The strategy of assimilation, both freely pursued and imposed, was reported by six students. The least evidence was recorded for the pattern of voluntary or involuntary marginalization, which emerged from the experiences of four respondents.

Στρατηγικές επιπολιτισμού Αλβανών και Ινδών μεταναστών στην Κρήτη

The aim of this study was to explore the factors related to the acculturation strategies of first generation Albanian and Indian immigrants in Greece. On the basis of Berry’s acculturation model (1997), immigrants’ demographic characteristics, factors related to intercultural contact (ethnic identity and perceived discrimination) and self-esteem were examined, regarding the acculturation strategies of integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization. The findings indicated that immigrant’s ethnicity differentiated all four acculturation attitudes, with the Indians falling mostly into separation and Albanian participants into integration. The factors of intercultural contact, inconjunction with demographic factors, predicted integration, assimilation, and separation. On the contrary, in the case of marginalization, immigrants’ demographic characteristics and self-esteem were significant, indicating a negative relationship between marginalization and self-esteem. Furthermore, perceived discriminationwas related positively to separation and negatively to integration. These results are discussed on the basis of Berry’s acculturation model and the rejection-identification model, suggesting that possibly immigrantswith pronounced cultural differences from Greeks experience discrimination and identify more with their in-group, thus choosing separation as a way to protect their self-image.
