Abstract: This article presents the results of a study on the relationship of acculturation profiles of Russian-speaking immigrants in Belgium, the duration of their stay in the host country, and their level of socio-economic adaptation. The data obtained is the result of a socio-psychological survey of Russian-speaking immigrants in Belgium and was processed using latent profile analysis (LPA). It was obtained from three groups of immigrants with relevant acculturation profiles: integration, assimilation and separation. It was found that orientation toward the host society (assimilation and integration) has a positive association with a high level of socio-economic adaptation among immigrants, but the level of socio-economic adaptation for the group of immigrants with an assimilation profile is higher than that for the group of immigrants with an integration profile. Also, the level of socio-economic adaptation is higher for immigrants who have stayed in the host country for more than 5 years.
