Biological assimilation, also known as amalgamation, occurs when members of one group marry those of other social or ethnic groups and reproduce with them. This results in a blending of genetic traits and a new mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity population. Cultural assimilation (acculturation) refers to the adoption of the beliefs and values of the dominant culture by members of a minority group, while structural assimilation (integration) refers to the incorporation of minority individuals into the social structures of the dominant culture. Psychological assimilation involves the adoption of the attitudes, behaviors, and identities of the dominant culture by members of a minority group.
