Abstract
The psychological problem of personality's adaptation to changes of ethno cultural surroundings has a lot of reasons such as a result of the intensification of interethnic contacts (economic and educational migration, interactions mediated by mass communication). In the XX century occurred a strong juxtaposition, even a clash of different cultures. These collisions often conflicting pictures of the world, different value systems, before have not come into contact or a little juxtaposition, led to the necessity to link them to the level of individual consciousness, psychological adaptation to a system of meanings and values. Other reason is qualitative change in the forms of life. This includes the contradictions and instability of the social situation, increasing the speed of technological progress and the accumulation of information, leads to an increase in the number of people who cannot control these changes, i.e. inability to adapt psychologically to the uncertainty and instability of modern society.
