ABSTRACT
In an ever-changing world where migrations and interactions between cultures are multiplying, intercultural contacts are becoming a structural phenomenon in our societies. These encounters, whether interpersonal or intergroup, permeate our daily lives and impact all individuals, without exception. Different models in psychology attempt to decipher intercultural dynamics and their effects on identity. Faced with the impossible choice of confining oneself to a single culture, identity and cultural mixing seems to emerge as a response to the complexity of the contemporary world. The identity elements and cultural dimensions of the immigrant play a crucial role in their mental and psychological health. Understanding these aspects is therefore essential to promoting their integration and well-being.
