In the game, agents are endowed with certain levels of cultural knowledge of the society; the agents acquire cultural knowledge to improve their ability to coordinate with each other, but experience difficulties or\/and acculturative stress in order to learn.<br \/>\nWith difficulties in learning only, the agents endowed with low levels of cultural<br \/>\nknowledge learn while those endowed with high levels do not; and the opposite<br \/>\nis true for agents who experience only acculturative stress. The presence of both<br \/>\ndifficulties in learning and stress leads to a \u2018double-threshold strategy\u2019, where the agents endowed with low and high levels of cultural knowledge do not learn, while the agents endowed with middle levels learn.<br \/>\nMany countries impose the tests of language, culture and history for candidates in acquiring citizenship. We show that this policy improves social welfare in most cases; in the cases where the policy does not improve social welfare, agents experience high levels of stress in learning.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenting Social Integration and the Acculturation Game at 12:15-13:30 in QA406.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,4,17],"tags":[92,90,91,93],"class_list":["post-615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","category-news","category-seminar","tag-acculturation-process","tag-cultural-learning-behavior","tag-minority-groups","tag-multicultural-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":623,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615\/revisions\/623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qsms.bme.hu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
