Abstract: Abstract The phenomenon of interculture in the plural school [9] in the contemporary societies is dealt with. Interculture is very complex [2, 17, 20] and it can be only partially handled with the use of particular techniques of the operational research. The techniques used in this research are the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), for the division of a complex objective in a hierarchical structure, assessment of scores, and ranking of alternative strategies [18, 19], statistic analysis made up of questionnaires administered to a high number of preadolescents attending the second and third year of first degree secondary school in Abruzzo (Italy), and research of the latent structures of phenomenon.
