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.

"...Three internationally known psychologists have combined their skills to write this most impressive book that provides an excellent account of culture shock.' Harry Triadis, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Illinois 'In a world where there are millions of tourists, sojourners, expatriates, immigrants and refugees, it is high time for psychology to pay attention to the culture shock that these individuals are experiencing. Three internationally known psychologists have combined their skills to write this most impressive book that provides an excellent account of culture shock.' - Harry Triadis, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Illinois 'This updated edition improves on what was already a superbly readable and much-needed review of psychological work about cross-cultural encounters,,, brings together a plethora of different studies and perspectives into a coherent whole... no mean feat!' - Marco Cinnirella, Royal Holloway, University of London"

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CULTURE SHOCK
9. Juli 2001
Von "mdpusch"
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the long overdue second edition of the book Culture Shock. It updates and adds new material by providing a thorough review of the literature on adaptation to new cultures and the return home and draws the most critical issues out of that material. The book goes from the impirical to the practical-not only what culture shock is all about but how to cope with the learning/adjusting process. I use it for training trainers who will work with people moving to unfamiliar cultures and recommend it to anyone who is studying intercultural communication. All three authors are known experts in the field and have collaborated to integrate their knowledge of the processes that are involved in adaptation, how to deal with those challenges, how to select and prepare people to move into new cultures, and how to bring them back. They also look at the research that has been conducted on specific groups such as international students, business personnel, refugees and others. This makes it possible to explore the unique issues that apply to each group. This is an essential reference for intercultural professionals and students in many fields.
