Opportunity for research participation
the psychology of cultural adaptation of expats living in Hungary

Do you feel at home in Hungary?

Psychologists call the process of settling into a new country "acculturation." Many internationals enjoy the benefits of living in an "expat bubble" and successful adaptation does not require giving up someone's own culture. 

Researchers from Corvinus University of Budapest and Palm Beach Atlantic University (USA) are conducting a scientific study on how internationals adapt to life in Hungary and what helps people feel at home. 

Are you eligible to participate?

• Those above 18 years

• Those currently living in Hungary

• Those planning to stay in Hungary for the foreseeable future (not intended for Erasmus or other short-term exchange students.)

If you are eligible, you are invited to take part in an exclusive research participation experience exploring the psychology of adapting to life in Hungary.
