Abstract

Later-life socialization is as essential as childhood socialization in enabling people to fill their roles, or increasing roles, expected of them by society. In a study of social assimilation of the Chinese in Bangkok, Thailand, employing the societal approach to later-life socialization, it is possible to verify differential social assimilation on the basis of different patterns of social and cultural interaction of a minority with its host society.
