The four patterns of assimilation include cultural assimilation, structural assimilation, marital assimilation, and identificational assimilation. Cultural assimilation refers to the adoption of the dominant culture's norms and values. Structural assimilation involves integration into the social networks and institutions of the dominant group. Marital assimilation occurs when members of different groups intermarry, while identificational assimilation pertains to the adoption of the identity of the dominant group by individuals from minority groups.
