Abstract

Participants completed an abbreviated version of the Five-Factor personality (John et al., 2008) questionnaire and a measure of acculturation (Berry, 2010). Regression analyses revealed a significant effect of agreeableness and conscientiousness on acculturation. There was no effect on openness, extraversion, and neuroticism.
