Psychosocial and sociocultural characteristics of Nicaraguan and Costa Rican students in the context of intercultural education in Costa RicaFootnote^*

* The Nicaraguan students in this sample represent what Ruben Rumbaut refers to as the 1.5 generation since they were born in Nicaragua, but are being schooled in Costa Rica. The conceptualisation of migrants from ‘one point five generation’ includes young migrants born in another country and brought into the host country when they were very young (Moreno Ródenas 2002).
