                             The effect of migration

  Migrating can be fun, but adapting is what makes migrating really stressful. According to this paper “Coping, acculturation, and psychological adaptation among migrants: a theoretical and empirical review and synthesis of the literature.” It attempts to study current psychological theories and studies of adaptation, cultural adaptation, and the cause of mental health in trying to adopt immigrants. Thus, this review contributes to the existing literature through initial efforts to summarize relevant concepts and empirical research on increasingly important responses and cultural adaptation. This review identifies some important implications; these insights and observations have direct or indirect implications for future cultural adaptation studies of immigrants and minority members by using the IMRAD format.

            In the introduction, the author explains how migration can cause stress. For Example, first, she states that when someone moves from one place it is already hard for them to say goodbye to what they use to. Being their friends, family, and neighbors, because the reason is that their brain is already used to these images of these people and places. Hence when the brain is already attached to places and is constantly confronted by it, it is hard to welcome other things. When that is missing, people can start to have

saddened mood because the brain is used to those things. That is why for migrating people,in their first move their brain starts to create fears of moving, fear of loneliness and to start new because of how their brain system is used to the comfort of their neighbors, friends, and family. This causes them to stress over their absence and is afraid to meet new people.

                     The method, they surveyed 100 migrants who come from any part of the world. They asked them questions. Questions that rated their stress level when they were migrating, and how hard it was for them to adapt. All the participants that were surveyed their stress level were exactly the same. They all scored the score that determined a depressive state. Therefore, looking back at how the brain functions when it has a constant memory of something, they related it that to show that people who migrate suffer from depression. When they move place to place they get depressed because their brain is trying to accept the area and the people living near there.  Therefore this causes stress and they become less motivated to try new things.

             Overall, this article does contain the format of IMRAD in a way it first explained what the research is about, to what method they use to figure out if migrating can cause stress and also indicating the result which proves that migrating does cause stress because migrants are trying to adapt to the area and people. In the end, the reader is able to understand and take notes of the research into account and into understanding the aftermath of migrating.
