A Fuzzy Logic-Based Approach for Detecting Shifting Patterns in Cross-Cultural Data

摘要

To assess the extent to which individuals adapt themeselfs in a strange cultural environement, the authors analyzed the adaptation process of a number of immigrants who live in Greece. Using categorical variables to represent certain cross-cultural adaptation indicators and employing fuzzy logic clustering, the authors detected and analyzed shifting patterns that are related to the cross-cultural adaptation of individuals.
