Abstract

Migration, from a psychosocial perspective, is conceived as a process that mobilizes two-way socio-cognitive and cultural changes, both from processes of adjustment of the receiving society and the foreign population. According to the Interactive Model of Acculturation of Bourhis and collaborators (1997), the preferences of acculturation of the members of the receiving communities determine in great part the quality of the relations and interchanges that are established with the migrant groups, delimiting the degree and type of participation that can them within the society. The objective of this work is to explain the variability of each of the acculturative preferences of members of the host society through dimensions of well-being and intercultural sensitivity. The sample was of 255 university students and their relatives living in Santiago de Chile, where the percentage of women and 68.2% and men 31.8%. The ages fluctuated between 18 and 75 years. The results show relationships between the different acculturative preferences, well-being and dimensions of intercultural sensitivity. Finally, the acculturative preferences of the receiving society are influenced by individual variables that can be trained as intercultural sensitivity and different dimensions of well-being.
