Four stages of new immigrants' adaptation to immigrant life.

In recent years, the immigration industry has developed very fast, and many people choose to emigrate overseas every year. For every new immigrant, the first few years of immigration will go through a very difficult adaptation period. Facing the strange country and environment, strange language, sparse interpersonal relationship and cultural differences, it brings difficulties for new immigrants to integrate into the local society. The famous American management psychologist Stephen? Dr Robbins made a systematic analysis and profound research on culture shock, and concluded some convincing conclusions. Four stages of cultural shock? Periodic theory. Perfect for the first year of immigration.

Four stages of new immigrants' adaptation to immigrant life-Freshness period (about the first month)

When I first arrive in a brand-new environment, I often think of myself as a tourist consciously or unconsciously. I am busy with sightseeing and shopping every day, and everything is so curious and fresh. Even if something is very different, it is not disgusting, but interesting. The new immigrants at this stage are very excited and in a good mood.

The four stages of new immigrants' adaptation to immigrant life-the lost period (about the second and third months)

After the sightseeing period, the novelty passed. See where you should see, eat what you should eat and buy what you should buy; It is better to see the scenery than to listen to it. Once something you've been longing for for for years arrives, that's it. At this stage, the sense of loss of new immigrants began to appear and their mood began to be low.

If the cultural differences in the first two stages are not obvious, at this time, all the cultural differences in the new environment of new immigrants are naked, which intensifies the feeling that new immigrants are not used to, not pleasing to the eye and not adapted. New immigrants return to real life from tourists' fantasy: finding a house, finding a job, finding a school for their children and so on. It's annoying that everyone catches our eye.

Faced with all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, new immigrants increasingly miss their past power, status, relationships, family and friends; Houses, cars, tickets, famous schools and so on, with excellent living conditions and living environment. Faced with the contrast of plummeting, the frustration, confusion and even regret after frustration have been tumbling in the hearts of new immigrants for a while, and many people even have the idea of going home. This stage is the time when their mood is the lowest and the mood is the worst.

Four stages of new immigrants' adaptation to immigrant life-recovery period (about half a year later)

After half a year's transition, the previous violent fluctuations tend to be flat, new immigrants begin to adapt to local cultural differences slowly, and many negative attitudes gradually fade away. Most new immigrants can face the reality and convince themselves that they will be safe when they come. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and enjoy it. At this stage, the mood of immigrants gradually returned to normal. Any new immigrant may go through these four stages, from the initial longing and novelty for immigrants, to the practical difficulties and setbacks in the real immigrant life, to the nostalgia for the comfortable life, and finally gradually adapt to the new immigrant life. This is the mental journey that new immigrants must go through, and it is also the necessary stage for new immigrants to adapt to the new environment and integrate into their lives.
