Le résumé fourni par la source

This chapter outlines the methodological framework that underpins the book’s analysis of Venezuelan migrants’ coping and adaptation strategies. It begins by explaining the research framework, which combines quantitative and qualitative studies in different locations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the decision-making process at different stages of the migration process and in different geographical locations . The chapter describes the main concepts used in the book, with a particular focus on coping, which is based on the seminal work of Lazarus and Folkman, Berry’s bidimensional adaptation/acculturation model, an aspirations–capabilities model, and a concept of integration by Ager and Strang. It also presents the methods and instruments used in the study to measure concepts related to coping, adaptation, stress, optimism, intergroup relations, self-esteem, and xenophobia. It also describes the data collection process, including semi-structured interviews and a survey conducted in Peru . Considerations related to limitations and challenges in both quantitative and qualitative research are addressed to provide a better understanding of the study conducted and its background. The chapter is complemented by information on ethical issues related to data collection, archiving, and sharing .
