Features of the personal identity of "permanent" and "temporary" migrants

Chernov Alexander

Personal identity of migrants is one of the factors of their successful adaptation to new cultural and social conditions for them. An important characteristic of the personal identity of migrants is the level of coherence of value and semantic components, as well as self-relation. The study recorded a higher level of consistency of personal identity of the "permanent" migrants, which indicates its distinctness to the time factor in a new environment for migrants. The content of personal identity is interconnected with psychological phenomena, revealing the features of the experiences of migrants of intrapersonal conflict. This relationship is different in different ways in the groups of "temporary" and "permanent" migrants. An important trend can be considered that in permanent migrants with the accumulation of interaction experience with a new social medium for them, the increase in the coherence of personal identity is associated with a more apparent manifestation of sociocentric orientation, as a method of resolving the intrapersonal conflict.
