The process of cultural adaptation of american immigrants to the Czech culture
Herbočková, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the adaptation of American immigrants to the Czech culture. The aim is to determine how American immigrants respond to the Czech environment, perceive the differences, and to determine what factors influence the adaptation process. The theoretical part describes the basic definitions such as culture, migration, acculturation, enculturation, and the theories of intercultural adaptation. This part is based on many accredited authors and researchers such as P. Adler, M. Bennett, J. Berry, G. Hofstede, K. Oberg, P. Pedersen, E. Tylor and many others. The practical part of the research is the adaptation of American immigrants to the Czech culture itself. The aim of this thesis is measured and determined by semi-structured interview and questionnaires, especially Cross-Cultural Adaptation Inventory (CCAI). The research results give us a subjective view of the adaptation of immigrants and determine how factors such as age, gender, length of stay, and level of education affect the adaptation itself.
