Book excerpt: Crossing cultures can be a stimulating and rewarding adventure. It can also be a stressful and bewildering experience. This thoroughly revised and updated edition of Furnham and Bochner's classic Culture Shock (1986) examines the psychological and social processes involved in intercultural contact, including learning new culture-specific skills, managing stress and coping with an unfamiliar environment, changing cultural identities and enhancing intergroup relations. The book describes the ABCs of intercultural encounters, highlighting Affective, Behavioural and Cognitive components of cross-cultural experience. It incorporates both theoretical and applied perspectives on culture shock and a comprehensive review of empirical research on a variety of cross-cultural travellers, such as tourists, students, business travellers, immigrants and refugees. Minimising the adverse effects of culture shock, facilitating positive psychological outcomes and discussion of selection and training techniques for living and working abroad represent some of the practical issues covered. The Psychology of Culture Shock will prove an essential reference and textbook for courses within psychology, sociology and business training. It will also be a valuable resource for professionals working with culturally diverse populations and acculturating groups such as international students, immigrants or refugees.

Book excerpt: This book looks at the movements of immigrants and refugees and the challenges they face as they cross cultural boundaries and strive to build a new life in an unfamiliar place. It focuses on the psychological dynamic underpinning of their adaptation process, how their internal conditions change over time, the role of their ethnic and personal backgrounds, and of the conditions of the host environment affecting the process. Addressing these and related issues, the author presents a comprehensive theory, or a "big picture," of the cross-cultural adaptation phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classic Edition of 'Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition', first published in 2006, includes a new introduction by the editors, describing the ongoing relevance of this volume in the context of future challenges for this vital field of study. It emphasizes the importance of continued actions and policies to improve the quality of interactions between multiple ethno-cultural groups, and highlights how these issues have developed the field of cross-cultural psychology. In the original text, an international team of psychologists with interests in acculturation, identity, and development describes the experience and adaptation of immigrant youth, using data from over 7,000 immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds and national youth living in 13 countries of settlement. They explore the way in which immigrant adolescents carry out their lives at the intersection of two cultures (those of their heritage group and the national society), and how well these youth are adapting to their intercultural experience. It explores four distinct patterns followed by youth during their acculturation: *an integration pattern, in which youth orient themselves to, and identify with both cultures; *an ethnic pattern, in which youth are oriented mainly to their own group; *a national pattern, in which youth look primarily to the national society; and *a diffuse pattern, in which youth are uncertain and confused about how to live interculturally. The study shows the variation in both the psychological adaptation and the sociocultural adaptation among youth, with most adapting well. This Classic Edition continues to be highly valuable reading for researchers, graduate students, and public policy makers who have an interest in public health, psychology, anthropology, sociology, demography, education, and psychiatry.

Book excerpt: In recent years the topic of acculturation has evolved from a relatively minor research area to one of the most researched subjects in the field of cross-cultural psychology. This edited handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. A collection of the world's leading experts in the field review the various contexts for acculturation, the central theories, the groups and individuals undergoing acculturation (immigrants, refugees, indigenous people, expatriates, students and tourists) and discuss how current knowledge can be applied to make both the process and its outcome more manageable and profitable. Building on the theoretical and methodological framework of cross-cultural psychology, the authors focus specifically on the issues that arise when people from one culture move to another culture and the reciprocal adjustments, tensions and benefits involved.

This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility of mankind has increased enormously in the past few decades. People leave their homes and native countries for business and study, for vacation or to flee from unsafe conditions like wars and natural disasters. In all cases the sojourner faces a dual challenge of breaking with the familiar home environment and adjusting to new surroundings. This book deals with the psychological and health consequences of leaving the familiar home and the process of creating a new one. The focus is mainly on acculturation stress and homesickness, which both are relevant to those who travel. Acculturation refers to the process and outcome of a person’s encounter with, and adaptation to, a culturally new and different environment. Homesickness is defined as a depression-like reaction to leaving one’s home. The contributions in this book present empirical data as well as theoretical and conceptual discussions. Causes, consequences, moderating variables, and theoretical explanations are discussed. Both short-term (e.g., vacations) and long-term (e.g. immigration) separations from home receive attention. By combining these different but related topics, this book provides a valuable overview for researchers, teachers, students and professionals working with people who present with problems related to migration or traveling.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past decade, the United States has seen a significant increase in their international student population. This influx has led researchers to inquire about the effects of acculturation on international students and how it differs from the experiences of non-international students. For an international student to successfully adjust to a new culture, they must not only overcome typical academic stressors like their peers, but also stress related to the acculturation process. To make this possible, they must have the resources available to assist them in adjusting to the new country, and they must perceive that these resources are adequate enough to help with their transition. This study analyzed how international students adapt to the norms of their host country and their perceived ability to cope with the demands of attending school in another culture by examining the relationships between acculturative stress, perceptions of control over stress, and life satisfaction. The sample consisted of 154 international students currently attending school at a large, urban university in Lithuania, and in the Southeastern region of the U.S., a private university and a large, urban university. While none of the hypotheses were supported, limited support for the moderating effects of perceived controllability on the stress-life satisfaction relationship was found for graduate students in the sample. This study will help researchers and college officials develop and refine programs, such as International Student Support Services, which aim to alleviate the stressors of the international college transition. Future research may observe the effects of acculturation across different cultures, demographic differences, and bilateral stress influences, which are limitations to this study."--Page 6

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study represented the first application of Lazarus' model of stress and coping to a cross-cultural problem. The specific focus was cross-cultural re-entry in multi-national companies, which is the transition of managers back into the home organization after an overseas assignment. The goal was not only to increase the understanding of this adaptation process, but also to develop findings that would help companies better manage the re-entry transfer. One hundred managers at different stages of re-entry completed a questionnaire concerning re-entry and that factors Lazarus suggested has the greatest impact on the nature and outcome of any stress and coping situation, i.e., cognitive appraisal, coping, and reported stress. Contrary to what was predicted, the results indicated only a few areas in which managers at different stages of return viewed re-entry differently. Notwithstanding, with regard to cognitive appraisal, managers, in general viewed re-entry as having a very significant impact on returnees' well-being, especially on their personal and family lives. On the other hand, managers were in less agreement when asked if the impact was more negative or more positive, with responses ranging to both extremes. Managers also thought that while returnees need a great deal of support, little is available to them, especially from their personnel or relocation departments. With regard to re-entry coping, viewed intrapsychic and information-seeking strategies as the most effective, inhibition of action and direct actions designed to change the home office or the home environment as the least effective, and support-seeking and direct actions designed to change oneself, in between. Finally, managers who had returned in the 12 months prior to the study reported higher levels of stress in their lives than managers who had never been overseas, those who were currently overseas, or those who returned 1-3 years previously. The results from this aspect of the study suggested the re-entry adjustment period may be more protracted than previously reported. Direct applications for those responsible for the selection, preparation, or support of overseas managers were also discussed."--P. xii-xiii.
