This study aims to examine the relationships between sociocultural adaptation, cultural intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and solution-focused thinking among Turkish immigrants in Germany. Conducted with a correlational research design, the study employs a quantitative approach within the framework of a cross-sectional survey model. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The study sample consists of 547 adult participants, with 61% female and 39% male, and an average age of 37.72 years. Data were collected using the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale, Cultural Intelligence Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and Solution-Focused Thinking Inventory. The findings reveal that cultural intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and solution-focused thinking are significant predictors of sociocultural adaptation. Specifically, individuals with high cultural intelligence were found to be more successful in social interactions, while those with a flexible mindset and solution-oriented approach were better at coping with environmental challenges. These findings offer valuable theoretical and practical contributions to the development of guidance and psychological counseling services aimed at supporting the adaptation processes of immigrants.
