Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the processes of social and psychological adaptation and identity formation of university students in North Cyprus who have a migrant background, namely those who have at least one Turkish parent who migrated from Turkey and settled in North Cyprus after 1975. It aims at identifying this population’s acculturation strategies (Berry, 1997) and identity styles (Berzonsky, 2004) as well as exploring the relationship between the two by drawing on semi-structured in-depth interviews.
