Structural (integration) assimilation refers to the process in which immigrants and their descendants participate in various aspects of social life of the host society. This often begins in large, impersonal settings such as schools and workplaces but may not lead to close friendships or intermarriage. Biological (amalgamation) assimilation refers to the intermarriage and mixing of different racial or ethnic groups to form a new group, while cultural (acculturation) assimilation refers to the adoption of the cultural norms and values of the host society. Psychological assimilation refers to changing individual identity and self-concept to align with the dominant cultural norms and values.
