- The Honeymoon Phase During this period the differences between the old and new culture are seen in a romantic light, wonderful and new. For example, in moving to a new country, an individual might love the new foods, the pace of the life, the people's habits, the buildings and so on. The "Everything is awful" phase After a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, minor differences between the old and new culture begin to add up to become tiresome and annoying. One may long for food the way it is prepared "back home," may find the pace of life too fast or slow, may find the people's habits annoying, etc. The "Everything is OK" phase Again, after a few days, weeks or months, one grows accustomed to the new culture's differences and develops routines. At this point, an individual no longer reacts to the new culture positively or negatively, because it no longer feels like a new culture. An individual becomes concerned with basic living again, as they were in their original culture. Reverse Culture Shock Returning to one's home culture after growing accustomed to a new one can produce the same effects as described above.

Emotional resilience Coping with stress and ambiguity, rebounding from imperfections and mistakes; trying new things and experiences and interacting with people in new or similar situations. People who are emotionally resilient tend to have a positive attitude, resourcefulness and have the ability to modulate negative emotions. Flexibility/openness The extent to which a person enjoys the different ways of thinking and behaving that are usually encountered in a cross-cultural experience. The items deal with openness toward those who are different from oneself; tolerance of others and flexibility with regard to new experiences. It involves a non-judgmental approach and flexibility or role behavior. Perceptual acuity Attention to communication cues and the accurate perception of cues across cultures. It assesses behaviors as well as perceptions. It is synonymous with cultural empathy. It is the ability to distinguish the logic and coherence of other cultures and involves the ability to interpret non-verbal and social cues. Personal autonomy Deals with personal identity, confidence in one’s values and beliefs and a sense of empowerment in the context of an unfamiliar environment with different values. It measures a person’s sense of identity and adherence to a strong set of cultural values, as well as respecting the values and traditions of the other culture.
