Social axioms are the prevailing common and basic beliefs that supposedly guide behvaiour in a culture. Lack of accurate knowledge about them may therefore interfere with adaptation to a culture. The present study investigated the implications of inaccurate of knowledge regarding the israeli social axioms upon how immigrants from ethiopia and the former soviet union have adapted to the israeli society. Central findings were that a lack of knowledge of the social axioms is negatively related to the socio cultural adaptation of immigrants' own social axioms to those of the majority. These findings strongly support the utility of social axioms as cultural descriptors.
