Migration Adaptation Hypothesis

The Migration Adaptation Hypothesis suggests that when people move from one place to another, they tend to adapt to the new environment over time, which can influence their behaviors, attitudes, and well-being. Essentially, migrants gradually adjust to local customs, social norms, and living conditions, reducing initial cultural differences. This process helps integrate migrants into their new community, potentially leading to improved satisfaction and stability. The hypothesis highlights how adaptation plays a key role in the experiences of migrants and the dynamics of cultural integration.
