西奥多·D在古德努（1964）最近的一篇论文中，对可观察到的喷口及其周围的“现象秩序”和“观念秩序”，或一个群体成员所持有的信仰，态度和价值观进行了区分。在我们对文化适应的研究中，现象秩序的变化，因为最容易观察，受到了主要的关注，而观念秩序的变化，或”心理文化适应”，相对被忽视。有一些很好的先驱作品可以借鉴，如汤普森（1948）、沃格特（1951）、拉帕波特（1954）以及考迪尔和斯卡尔（1962）。但是，对文化适应过程的心理方面的研究的主要重点似乎集中在文化接触的情感干扰影响和可能发生的再合成水平上（例如哈洛威尔1942和斯平德勒1955）。直接心理文化适应是本文的重点：当文化上不同的群体处于持续的第一手接触中时，少数群体的世界观是否能够证明发生了朝着占主导地位群体的世界观方向的变化;如果是这样，在什么条件下这种心理上的文化适应会得到促进？这个问题具有实际意义和理论意义，因为现在人们认识到，在传统社会中广泛持有的世界观的某些方面可能是有效参与城市工业生活的重要心理障碍（伊拉斯谟，1961;福斯特，1962;古迪纳夫，1963;格雷夫斯，1961;哈根，1962）。如果是这样的话，我们所能了解的关于这些变量变化过程的任何信息都可能为制定有计划的干预的有效策略提供基础。
THEODORE D. GRAVES INTRODUCTION IN A RECENT PAPER BY GOODENOUGH (1964), a distinction is made between the" phenomenal order" of observable vents and their regularities, and the" ideational order," or the beliefs, attitudes, and values held by a group's members. In our studies of acculturation, changes in the phenomenal order, since easiest to observe, have received primary attention, while changes in the ideational order, or" psychological acculturation," have been relatively neglected. There is some good pioneer work on which to build, such as Thompson (1948), Vogt (1951), Rapaport (1954), and Caudill and Scarr (1962). But the main thrust of research on the psychological aspects of the acculturation process appears to have focused on the emotionally disturbing influence of culture contact and the level of resynthesis which may occur (Hallowell 1942 and Spindler 1955, for example).Direct psychological acculturation is the focus of this paper: when culturally distinct groups are placed in continuous first-hand contact, can changes in the world view of the minority groups be demonstrated to occur in the direction of those held by the dominant group; and, if so, under what conditions is such psychological acculturation facilitated? This issue has practical as well as theoretical significance, since it is now recognized that aspects of world view widely held in traditional societies may serve as important psychological barriers to effective participation in urban-industrial life (Erasmus 1961; Foster 1962; Goodenough 1963; Graves 1961; Hagen 1962). If so, whatever we can learn about the process of change in such variables may provide a basis for charting effective strategies of planned intervention.
