Acculturation refers to cultural and psychological changes resulting from contact with other cultures. Contacts may be direct, indirect, voluntary or involuntary.
The smoothness of acculturation depends upon the re-socialisation of the people. Sometimes people find it easy to learn these new things, and if their learning has been successful, shifts in their behaviour easily take place in the direction of the group that brings in acculturation. In this situation transition to a new life is relatively smooth. On the other hand, in many situations people experience difficulties in dealing with new demands of change. They find change difficult, and are thrown into a state of conflict. This situation is relatively painful not so smooth.
