Cultural convergence Communication accommodation theory Intercultural adaption Identity negotiation or management Communication networks Acculturation and adjustment Många fler  Cultural convergence In a relatively closed social system in which communication among members is unrestricted, the system as a whole will tend to converge over time toward a state of greater cultural uniformity. The system will tend to diverge toward diversity when communication is restricted. Communication accommodation theory This theory focuses on linguistic strategies to decrease or increase communicative distances. Intercultural adaption This theory is designed to explain how communicators adapt to each other in "purpose-related encounters", at which cultural factors need to be incorporated.[6] According to intercultural adaptation theory communicative competence is a measure of adaptation which is equated with assimilation. As Gudykunst and Kim (2003) put it, "cross-cultural adaptation process involves a continuous interplay of decultruation and acculturation that brings about change in strangers [immigrant] in the direction of assimilation, the highest degree of adaptation theoretically conceivable" (p. 360). Identity management  For becoming competent in developing intercultural relationships, the following three phases have to be passed: "trial and error": act of looking for similar aspects in certain identities. "mixing up" the communicators' identities to achieve a relational identity acceptable for both participants renegotiating the distinctive cultural identities with the help of the relational identity that was created in phase 2 Communication acculturation This theory attempts to portray "cross-cultural adaptation as a collaborative effort in which a stranger and the receiving environment are engaged in a joint effort
