Abstract
This research aims to determine the perception, preference, and experience of Arubans in higher education on the acculturation (Berry, 1997) (Sam & Berry, 2010) of Venezuelan migrants. Furthermore, this research tries to see if the concepts of stereotypes and perceptions of the threat of the Venezuelan migrants influence the Arubans' preference for acculturation (López- Rodríguez, Zagefka, Navas, & Cuadrado, 2014). This study used a case study design and a quantitative data collection research instrument. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed online through Google Form. The convenience sampling approach was utilized in this study. The respondents were from the University of Aruba (UA) and the Institute of Education of Aruba (IPA). There was a total of 132 participants. The SPSS statistical program was used to analyze the data collected. The result indicated that Arubans in higher education had a positive perception and preference for the acculturation of Venezuelan migrants. In addition, the respondents in this research experienced the migrants’ integrative adaptation style in the Aruban Community. Furthermore, the relationship of all hypotheses tested in this research was significant. Finally, a vital suggestion indicated in this research is that research has to be done
from the perspective of migrants to get a complete view of the acculturation process in Aruba.
