MODELS OF ETHNOCULTURAL ADAPTATION OF THE YOUTH OF THE NORTH (BASED ON SOCIOLOGICAL AND SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN THE REPUBLIC OF SAKHA (YAKUTIA))
The authors compare choices of acculturation strategies by the youth of the North and analyze the models of its ethnocultural adaptation. It is shown that the dominant type of the acculturation strategy is the mixed one. It is pointed out that all ethnic groups are quite disposed to intercultural interaction (integration, assimilation), and the integration model of ethnocultural adaptation depends on the level of ethnic consciousness of interacting individuals. This, in the end, determines the degree of adaptation of individuals and groups.
