Enculturation is the process in which an individual learns and acquires the cultural norms and values of their society or group. This process usually occurs through socialization from family, peers, and institutions, and provides individuals with a sense of identity and belonging within their culture. Acculturation is the process of adapting to and incorporating aspects of a new culture, often in a context of migration or exposure to a different cultural environment. Diffusion refers to the spread of cultural elements or practices from one society to another. Transmission and adaptation are general terms that can describe various processes, including cultural transmission, but are not as specific to the context of culture.
