Chileans Facing Immigration: Relations Between Orientations of acculturation, perception of threat and Social well-being in the Great Concepcion. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, suppl.5, pp.33-46. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-5.cier.

In Chile, the sustained increase of migratory flows is producing an important impact on building new forms of social relations. Acculturation processes have been studied from immigrant’s perspective by numerous studies, but host majority members has received less attention from scholars. This study aimed to verify relations between acculturation preferences of N=553 Chilean participants, their social well-being and perceived threat. Results showed that, contrary as expected, individualism was positively linked with better social functioning and less perceived threat than integrationism, suggesting the impact of neoliberal ideology on post-dictatorial Chilean culture.
