In addition to above, figure 5 is a brilliant example of a three-dimensional relationship of the person and environment with strain, based on a reanalysis of the French et al. (1982; Caplan et al., 1980) data by Edwards and Harrison (1993). For comparative purposes, this surface shows the connection needed for needs and supplies for job complication with depression, running parallel to the two dimensional relationship as illustrated in figure 4. Like the two-dimensional relationship, the three-dimensional surface shows that depression escalates as supplies stray from needs, with a considerably sturdier relationship for excess supplies than for scarce supplies. However, the surface is rotated slightly counter clockwise such that, when both the

This model is seen as a perfect outcome of acculturation. This unification that Berry discusses can successfully be followed by the non-dominant groups which have keen interests in interacting with society and also the dominant society which is open and inclusive to embrace multicultural diversity and meet the needs of all ethnic groups living together. Even though the acculturation theory has indeed influenced a great number of studies on intercultural contacts, there are few issues associated with the theory. Firstly, the four acculturative strategies are too widespread in explaining a diverse range of intercultural contact strategies (Benet-Martinez & Haritatos, 2005). Secondly, the validity of marginalisation has been quizzed as it is hard to comprehend how a non-dominant group’s cultural identity cultivates without interacting with neither their own culture nor the receiving culture.

This led Barry to introduce his acculturation theory which is sought to be one of the theories outlined above. This part the segment will also discuss another key theoretical framework: Affect-Behaviour-Cognition (ABC). This theoretical framework was established using Berry’s acculturation theory. Furthermore, this theory can be seen as a more wide-ranged because of its in-depth discussion of three significant concepts: social identification, stress and coping and cultural learning. These three concepts focuses mostly on behaviour, affect and cognition. Thus, the greatest feature of this framework is that it can be seen as a theory which gives a clearer understanding of people’s cultural adaption to their new
