CHECA, Juan Carlos  e  MONSERRAT, Montserrat. Social Integration of Children of Immigrant Parents from Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America: a Case Report in Spain. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.2, pp.475-486. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-2.lish.

The aim of this paper is to study the social integration process of children of immigrants from Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe in Almería (Spain). We study the social integration process in the following dimensions: socioeconomic, mixed relationships, cultural references, norms (rules of conduct), transnationality and psychosocial factors. Data were obtained by the administration of a questionnaire. The results show that the origin is a key variable in defining the social integration process. Furthermore there are other important variables that affect the integration process of immigrants, such as human capital, the (social) environment or religious patterns. Taking into account the variety of elements involved in the integration of immigrants in Almeria, we would speak of integration as a fragmented process which doesn't reflect any linear logic.
