culture shock
culture shock
Danh từ
This term describes a psychological state of distress rather than a literal shock. It is typically used in the context of expatriates, international students, or travelers who find their previous social scripts and behavioral expectations no longer apply in a new environment.
While often associated with moving to a foreign country, it can also occur when moving between vastly different social strata or urban and rural environments. It is generally treated as a singular experience or a phenomenon, though it can be described in degrees of severity.
