Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acculturation is the process that occurs when two or more cultures interact over a period of time and lead to changes in the attitudes, behaviors, customs, and values of the individuals in each culture. It can occur through the exchange of language, traditions, and beliefs which can lead to a fusion of cultures or the emergence of a new culture. Assimilation refers to the complete adoption of the dominant culture by the minority group, while deculturation refers to the loss or erosion of one's own culture due to contact with another culture. Mutual adaptation refers to the process of adjustment between different groups without necessarily resulting in a change in cultural identity.
