Problems of adaptation of schoolboys - forced immigrants

Abstract

As during the 1980-1990 there appeared a plenty of forced immigrants, this fact has put forward a problem of complex adaptation of these groups of people. The analysis of problems of adaptation of forced immigrants shows, that they extremely require the pro­fessional psychological help. In our opinion, the degree of expressiveness of stress of ac­culturation, duration of intercultural adaptation depend on many factors among which rather essential are socially-demographic, social and specific personal features. Process of adaptation is multilateral, active; it includes formation of means and ways of behaviour directed on mastering by educational activity and effective interaction with new social en­vironment. The difficulties leading to infringement of adaptation, often have temporary character, however among some children they are characterized by gravity and prevent from general psychosocial development.
