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.
