Inhalt
Current debates and controversies about immigration to Western Europe often revolve around con-cerns and questions about cultural integration. In the aftermath of 2015’s Europe’s ‘refugee crisis’, fears about foreign cultural infiltration as well as claims for adaptation to Western European values and norms have been raised, especially for immigrants that are perceived as culturally different. In fact, natives and immigrants highly disagree on the question to what extent immigrants should adapt host culture and keep home culture elements. Focuses of the seminar are acculturation attitudes of immigrant and natives, attitude discrepancies and their role for intergroup relations and immigrant acculturation. We will read a couple of introductory texts from sociology and social psychology about acculturation and acculturation attitudes, before we turn towards empirical research results about description, causes and consequences of acculturation attitudes of natives and immigrants. Finally, we will have a look at alternative research approaches beyond classical acculturation research.
