摘要:AbstractThe aim of the study is to analyze integration processes of the new generations of immigrant origin, identity dimensions of new generations, the social practises and intercultural integration in European Societies that are undergoing deep transformation because of the growth of their multiethnic and multicultural character. Particularly, I have investigated integration processes taking into consideration the ways of selective acculturation, that is to say, in reference to recent explicative models: transnational approach and intercultural perspective. Such a question is dealt with considering an empirical research carried out - on a sample of 1314 Italian and foreign preadolescents - in Abruzzo, a region in central Italy.
