Description

How do people adapt to life in a foreign country? Is the process different for immigrants, refugees and diplomats, or do all individuals in a new cultural milieu share common adaptation experiences? This multi-disciplinary volume considers the cross-cultural adaptation process from psychological, sociological, anthropological and communication perspectives. Using diverse case examples, it integrates theoretical and empirical research and presents studies of both long- and short-term adaptation.
