A qualitative study of the experience of Japanese migrants in Paris: Between adjustment and necessary adaptation - 2019.
16
This study explores, from an anthropological and psychological point of view, the acculturation difficulties experienced by Japanese migrants living in Paris, where there is a great deal of cohabitation of different cultures. Our study shows that they experience significant psychological and cultural vulnerability when adapting to living in Paris: their sense of the priority of the group opposes French individualism, and their high sensitivity meets with the indifference of Parisians. Some cannot assimilate into Parisian culture, while others discover a new freedom, even an opportunity to reconstruct their values.
