The research employed a new and recently developed instrument to examine the two dimensions (host and co - national identification) and four modes (integration, separation, marginalization, and assimilation) of acculturation and their relationship to sojourner adjustment. International aid workers in nepal completed a questionnaire including the acculturation index and the assessments of psychological and sociocultural adjustment. Acculturation index and the assessments of pscyhological and sociocultural adjustment. Analyses revealed that strong co - national identification was associated with better socio cultural adaptation. Acculturation styles were also related to adjustive outcomes. Sojourners who adopted an integrated style fared better psychologicaly than others, whereas those who assumed an assimilationist perspective experienced fewer social difficulties. The article highlights methodological issues pertaining to the measurement to acculturation and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the use of categorical versus continuous data and mean comparisons versus correlational techniques in the analysis of the relationship among identification, acculturation and sojourner adjustment.
