Analysis of data was done by use of frequency, percentage, Chi-square test and logistic regression with SPSS program. Results: 63.3% of subjects were exposed to the low level of acculturation behavior. Factors that affected the acculturation were significantly different according to the duration of residence and the standard of living.

Subjects who were living with high economical status more highly affected on the acculturation behavior than those of low economical status.
