Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acculturation refers to the process of cultural change and psychological change that results following meeting between cultures. The effects of acculturation can be seen at multiple levels in both the original (native) and newly adopted (non-native) cultures. Historically, acculturation was considered to be largely a one-way process where the minority culture comes to resemble the dominant culture. However, acculturation is now understood as a process that can involve mutual exchange and adaptation by both cultural groups, leading to cultural and psychological changes.
