%X The acculturation process of Iranian immigrants to Australian society was examined. The subjects were 250 Iranian migrants who were living in Sydney during the study. Each completed a questionnaire with fourfold acculturation scales: assimilation, separation, integration and marginalization. Education appeared to be positively correlated with integration, assimilation and marginalization, suggesting that educated individuals may not only develop high integration and assimilation tendencies, but also a high tendency of marginalization. This finding goes against the findings of other studies with respect to the development of marginalization attitudes.
