The Matthew Effect has been one of the best known principles in adult education, implying that the ones who have more formal education at earlier phases of life participate more in education in adulthood. This qualitative research explores how the Matthew Effect works under migration, focusing on the experiences of the Turkish immigrants in Germany. The documentary analyses of the narrative interviews in the study reveal that the Matthew Effect among immigrants works depending on the formation of the immigrant habitus. The factors to mediate the making of the immigrant habitus are social and cultural capital, gender, the hysteresis effect, and affections such as expectations from the host society, biographical regrets, and the sense of belonging to the collective identity of the immigrants.

移民和参与成人教育：马修对移民的影响

马修效应一直是成人教育中最广为人知的原理之一，这意味着在生命的早期阶段接受正规教育更多的人会更多地参与成人教育。这项定性研究探索了马修效应在移民情况下的工作方式，重点是德国的土耳其移民的经历。该研究对叙事访谈的文献分析表明，移民中的马修效应取决于移民习性的形成。调节移民习性形成的因素包括社会和文化资本，性别，滞后效应以及诸如对寄主社会的期望，传记遗憾和对移民的集体认同的归属感等影响。
