Sojourn Adjustment

Sojourn Adjustment is a psychological and behavioral adaptation process whereby a temporary sojourner acclimatizes to a host culture by managing stress, developing interpersonal relationships, and functioning effectively in the new environment, distinguished from broader acculturation by its focus on short-term, goal-oriented cultural adaptation.
