Usually there are the following forms of
cultural shock:
* Tension due to the efforts made to achieve
psychological adaptation;
* The feeling of loss due to the deprivation of friends,
their position, profession, property;
• The feeling of loneliness (rejection) in a new culture
that can be transformed in denial of this culture;
• About violation of role expectations and selfidentification;
* Anxiety that turns into resentment and disgust after
realizing cultural differences;
• The feeling of inferiority due to the inability to cope
with the situation.

The mechanism of the development of cultural shock was first described
in detail by Oberg, who argued that people go through certain stages of
experiencing cultural shock and gradually achieve a satisfactory level of
adaptation.
The first stage is called
“honeymoon”: people
are full of enthusiasm
and hope.
In the second
stage, the unusual
environment and
culture begin to
have a negative
impact.
At the fourth
stage appears
an optimistic
attitude.
The third stage
is critical, as
the culture
shock reaches
its maximum.
At the fifth stage
is achieved
complete
adaptation to
the new culture
But Stephen Rinesmith has
the following cultural
shock phases:
I. Arriving in a foreign
country, primary
anxiety.
II. Primary euphoria.
III. Culture shock.
IV. Surface adaptation.
V. Depression-frustration.
VI. Adoption of a foreign
culture.

Tips
Isabelle: from Switzerland to the
USA
Isabelle's advice: Stop questioning
everything. At first I treated
everything as “they” do, but in the
end I met wonderful people and
learned how to go with the flow.
Juan: from Colombia to the UK
Juan's advice: Accept the
differences! For example, I
learned to treat the weather
with understanding, since it was
very different from my
hometown and simply did not
give me rest.
Casia: from Poland to Peru
Casia’s advice: Do as local. I
learned not only to negotiate,
which is a very useful skill in
traveling, but also to improve my
knowledge of Spanish.
