Abstract
As the contemporary theories are considering the different components of response when people are exposed to a new culture, the study of 'culture shock' has come to draw more from social psychology and education. Now we need to think more about acculturation and mental adaptation. Culture shock is not an illness, but it does have symptems. This paper will cover those symptoms, as well as the causes of culture shock and affective, behavioural, cognitive (ABC) aspects of shock and adaptation. Four stages of culture shock will also be suggested, which are honeymoon stage, crisis, recovery and adjustment.
