Abstract
The paper examines the role of theory in acculturation research "with and for communities" and its application for enhancing social and psychological outcomes. It also discusses common themes in community-based acculturation research; the diverse investigative methods used; the nature of the partnerships forged between academics and grassroots organizations, including the practical problems involved in these collaborations; and the evolution of positive social change. Finally, the paper concludes with recommendations for increasing the application potential of contemporary acculturation theory and research, whether based in the laboratory or the wider community.
