The educational literature suggests that international contact
contributes to a comprehensive educational experience. The Five
Stages of Culture Shock examines an international shipboard
educational program and seeks to identify specific insights
resulting from informal extracurricular contact between students
and host nationals in the context of culture shock experiences.
Using the critical incident methodology, Pedersen analyzes
students' responses to nearly 300 specific incidents which resulted
in insights that apply to the students' own development, as well as
the sociocultural context of the host countries. This use of
critical incidents shows one way to evaluate and assess the
subjective experiences of the informal curriculum. More broadly,
the analysis sheds light on the concept of culture shock as a
psychological construct.
