The rank and the significance of narration in transcultural diagnosis of i(e)mmigrants' adaptation problems

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article is to show the importance of narrative and transcultural research (i.e. taking into account the cultural context, the specificity of the elements of the cultural pattern, the importance of cultural universals and the realities of transcultural modernity) in the diagnosis of immigrants' adaptation problems, as a basis for implementing assistance procedures which are adequate to the individual characteristics, capabilities and cultural needs. The main research problems are the following questions: should transculturality be considered as a transnational feature and one of the main characteristics of modernity? What types of procedures, methods and research techniques are the most adequate for diagnosing contemporary immigrant problems? The research data is the result of international and comparative diagnostic studies, on two samples: N1=1886 adult Poles and Polonia, N2=747 foreigners from 74 countries, representatives of helping professions. The implementation of scientific objectives and the answer to the problem question were included in the process of argumentation consisting of an introduction to the issue of transculturality and narrative transculturation and narrative research, as well as a justification of the rank of this type of research as important for identifying individual adaptation problems of immigrants and their application to pedagogical practice.
