This study analyses the cultural and linguistic adaptation processes of migrants residing in the Venice area, with particular attention to the role played by social media. The aim is to understand how migrants living in the Venice area — divided into under 30 and over 30 — use social media to adapt to their new cultural and linguistic context. The research aims to answer three main questions: Are there differences between young and adult migrants residing in the Venice area in terms of their socio-cultural adaptation processes, as measured by the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire (ICSSQ; Kuusisto et al., 2015)? Are there differences between young people and adults in their use of social media for information, socialization, production, acculturation and learning the Italian language? What differences emerge between young people (under 30) and adults (over 30) in the use of social networking sites (SNS) and cultural integration? This research will contribute to understanding how young and adult migrants perceive a new context and how they adapt to it.
Questo studio analizza i processi di adattamento culturale e linguistico dei migranti residenti nell'area di Venezia, con particolare attenzione al ruolo svolto dai social media. L'obiettivo è comprendere come i migranti che vivono nell'area di Venezia, suddivisi in due fasce d'età (under 30 e over 30), utilizzano i social media per adattarsi al loro nuovo contesto culturale e linguistico. La ricerca mira a rispondere a tre domande principali: esistono differenze tra i migranti giovani e adulti residenti nell'area di Venezia in termini di processi di adattamento socio-culturale, misurati dal Questionario sulla Scala di Sensibilità Interculturale (ICSSQ; Kuusisto et al., 2015)? Esistono differenze tra giovani e adulti nell'uso dei social media per l'informazione, la socializzazione, la produzione, l'acculturazione e l'apprendimento della lingua italiana? Quali differenze emergono tra i giovani (under 30) e gli adulti (over 30) nell'uso dei social network (SNS) e nell'integrazione culturale? Questa ricerca contribuirà a comprendere come i migranti giovani e adulti percepiscono un nuovo contesto e come si adattano ad esso.

Abstract
This study analyses the cultural and linguistic adaptation processes of migrants residing in the Venice area, with particular attention to the role played by social media. The aim is to understand how migrants living in the Venice area — divided into under 30 and over 30 — use social media to adapt to their new cultural and linguistic context. The research aims to answer three main questions: Are there differences between young and adult migrants residing in the Venice area in terms of their socio-cultural adaptation processes, as measured by the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire (ICSSQ; Kuusisto et al., 2015)? Are there differences between young people and adults in their use of social media for information, socialization, production, acculturation and learning the Italian language? What differences emerge between young people (under 30) and adults (over 30) in the use of social networking sites (SNS) and cultural integration? This research will contribute to understanding how young and adult migrants perceive a new context and how they adapt to it.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
