Social Sciences - Psychology
English term or phrase: fit in
Es geht um einen Text zu Migranten; insbesondere um den Prozess des Einfindens, Ankommens und Dazugehörens in der "anderen" Kultur.

Im Text heißt es:

"they wish to "fit in" more easily, to belong ..."

Am liebsten würde ich mit "dazugehören" übersetzen, was aber nicht geht, weil ja anschließend noch "belong" folgt.

Hat jemand eine Idee dazu?
