Abstract

In this study, we tried to determine the value of the ethno-cultural norms in socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of forced migrants. Hypothesis of the study is that the preservation of ethno-cultural norms in situations of forced migration contributes to the ethno-psychological well-being of migrants.
