Skillnader i kultur mellan länder är sedan länge väldokumenterade (Hofstede, 1998). I en allt mer globaliserad värld där det blir vanligare att personer flyttar mellan länder har det blivit aktuellt att studera huruvida dessa personer “akulturaliseras” (Berry, 2003), alltså anpassar sig kulturellt, till sin nya hemmiljö. I denna studie undersöks huruvida personer från ett land som Hofstede (1998) Differences in culture between countries have been well documented (Hofstede, 1998). But in an increasingly globalized world, where it becomes ever more common for people to move between countries, it has become more relevant to study whether these people "acculturise" (Berry, 2003), thus adapting culturally, to their new home environment. In this study, it is examined whether people fro
