The third change is political such as bringing the non-dominant groups under some degree of control and may involve some loss of autonomy (Berry, 1992). The fourth change is economic, for example, moving people away from traditional pursuits toward new forms of employment (Berry, 1992). The fifth change is cultural which includes alteration of original linguistics, religious and education (Berry, 1992). The sixth change is social relationships that become altered, including intergroup and interpersonal relations (Berry, 1992).
The researcher Berry (1992) proposed that there are different strategies that lead to different varieties of adaption for individuals. For individuals, there are behavioral shifts and high levels of stress that is brought upon migrants. For the individuals, there are three such strategies that the researcher Berry (1992) identifies which are adjustment, reaction and withdrawal (Berry, 1976). What we know about acculturation and adaption suggests that migrants can and will often make a successful move to a new environment. However, it is obvious that the conditions that overcome their adaption should be those who make the process easier rather than allowing negativity conflict with having successful adaptions to a new society (Berry, 1992).
The researcher Berry (1997) article discusses his cross-cultural psychology studies within acculturation and adaption. The study proposes the variation factors leading to acculturation, which the researcher Berry (1997) concludes that the basic process of adaption appears to be common to all the different ethnic immigrant groups (Berry, 1996). However, when Berry proposes the variation factors he is referring to the level of difficulty and the eventual outcome of acculturation. In addition, here are the following factors that add to the variations: voluntariness, mobility and permanence (Berry, 1997).
