Abstract:The conspicious lack of comparative research and of theories regarding acculturation has already been the cause of many complaints. The author attempts to contribute something towards such a general theory, with no other claim than to give an example of what he has in mind. As a starting point he takes the repeatedly observed difference in receptivity to acculturation. He indicates seven factors which determine mainly receptivity to acculturation and briefly illustrates the significance of these factors. Then follows a comparison of the receptivity to acculturation among the Agni and the Bete in Ivory Coast. References; notes; figures.
