Description :
This article examines acculturation preferences of the Turkish second generation in 11 European cities and compares these with expectations of national society comparison group members (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Paris, Strasbourg, Basel, Zurich, Linz, Vienna, Berlin, Frankfurt and Stockholm). Results show that the majority of the second generation maintain integration preferences, although sub-groups with particular background characteristics such as low educational attainment, experiencing discrimination and living in a low-quality neighbourhood, maintain separation or marginalisation preferences. Contextual factors, notably city of residence, the proxy for national integration policy orientation, seemed more important in explainingacculturation preferences than individual-level factors.
