The special topic calls for papers on Modeling the Cross-Cultural Adaptation Process of Immigrants and such papers will appear in the journal Cross-Cultural Communication as a special column.
Affiliated research area: Cross-Cultural, Cultural Differences, Communication

Description
A quantitative method for social data analysis, which is based on the use of categorical data clustering, is introduced. More specifically, Some researchers employ categorical data clustering to analyze the cross-cultural adaptation process of immigrants in a foreign cultural environment. To assess the extent to which individuals adapt themselves in a strange cultural environment, an experiment was conducted, where a set of cross-cultural categorical data was generated by using a questionnaire over a number of immigrants who live in Greece. The key idea is to cluster the available categorical data and to treat these clusters as patterns, each of which corresponds to a certain level of adaptation capability. Then, they detect and analyze changes of these patterns through time. These changes directly indicate how the cross cultural adaptation process proceeds. In order to cluster the available data set they use the well-known ROCK algorithm.
