在当今快速变化的环境中，多元文化社会正在逐步取代单一文化社会。这提出了几个问题，涉及不同传统和信仰体系的共存，以及移民和少数群体在主导文化中调整和融合的机会。为了考察这些现象对体验质量和心理选择的影响，我们对不同群体的参与者进行了流畅问卷、生活主题问卷和ESM的测试。他们中的一些人从印度、非洲、南美和东欧移民到意大利。其他人则属于一个古老的种族--纳瓦霍人--在欧洲人到来之前很久，他们就已经生活在这个北美领土上了。对流动和日常体验波动的调查，以及对参与者长期项目的分析，揭示了他们的社会文化适应水平和文化适应策略。研究结果证实，在宿主文化中，双文化是保持灵活性和增加个体复杂性的最佳策略。
In today’s rapidly changing environment, multicultural societies are gradually replacing monocultural ones. This poses several issues as concerns the coexistence of different traditions and belief systems, and the opportunities for adjustment and integration of immigrants and minorities within a dominant culture. In order to investigate the impact of these phenomena on the quality of experience and on psychological selection, we administered flow questionnaire, life theme questionnaire, and ESM to different groups of participants. Some of them had migrated to Italy from India, Africa, South America, and eastern Europe. Others were members of an ancient population—the Navajos—who had been living in the North American territory long before the arrival of Europeans. The investigation of flow and daily experience fluctuation, together with the analysis of participants’ long-term projects, shed light on their level of socio-cultural adjustment and acculturation strategy. Findings confirmed that biculturalism is the best strategy to maintain flexibility and increase individual complexity in a host culture.
