Drawing upon insights from 2 empirical qualitative studies conducted within the framework of the Relative Acculturation Extended Model (RAEM), this paper proposes modifications to the model to better suit qualitative research inquiries into migrant acculturation experiences. Firstly, it highlights the interconnectedness of various psychosocial domains in migrants’ lives. Secondly, it challenges the distinction between public and private domains embedded in the model, arguing instead for an approach that recognises the dual nature of each domain, encompassing both public and private aspects. Thirdly, the authors suggest integrating values as transversal elements present across all domains, rather than treating them as a separate domain. These 3 specific modifications allow for a more nuanced understanding of acculturation processes, enabling researchers to capture the complexity of migrants’ experiences more comprehensively than the original version of the model. By emphasising flexibility and adaptability, the enhanced RAEM provides a useful framework for qualitative investigations into acculturation phenomena, facilitating deeper insights into the lived realities of migrant populations.
