Abstract
The current study examines the influence of cultural exposure and gender on individuals’ difficulty of sociocultural adaptation. The sample includes 89 non-American participants from an East-Western University. The findings indicate that although there is no relationship between the length of cultural exposure and sociocultural adaptation, females experienced more difficulty adapting.
