Abstract

GONZALEZ MARTINEZ, Elier  and  GONZALEZ CASTRO, Lissette Andrea. Aculturation stress in the native people: an approach to the reality of guayaquil. Rev. Int. Investig. Cienc. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.1, pp.171-190. ISSN 2226-4000.  https://doi.org/10.18004/riics.2022.junio.171.

This research analyzes the acculturation stress created by migratory flows in the peoples of the city of Guayaquil. With a quantitative approach and with a descriptive exploratory scope, behavioral differences, affective, cognitive and procedural factors that produce inequality and imbalance in contact between the immigrant and the native are analyzed, starting from the concepts of perceived threat. The Acculturation Stress Scale in Native Americans (Carmen Ramírez et al., 2012) was used as the study instrument. The results showed the reliability and validity of the questionnaire in the Guayaquil context. The factors that cause the most stress are: competition for resources, preferential programs for migrants; as well as elements of group identity. However, the responses showed favorable reactions in favor of social interaction and social desirability.

Keywords : acculturation stress; autochthonous; immigration; intercultural communication.
