Individual-personal and contextual factors in the process
of acculturation do not act independently of each other, but collectively, demonstrating close relationships. In this regard, it is important to study the personal and
contextual factors of adaptation within the framework of a single integrated approach. This exploratory empirical study is aimed at studying the complex
personality and contextual factors ...
