What is bicultural adaptation?

Bicultural adaptation refers to the process through which individuals learn to navigate and integrate two distinct cultural identities, often due to migration or living in a multicultural environment. This adaptation involves acquiring the norms, values, and behaviors of both cultures, allowing individuals to function effectively in diverse social contexts. Successful bicultural adaptation can enhance social integration, personal identity, and overall well-being. It may also lead to a unique blend of cultural perspectives and practices.
