FACILITATION AND PRESENTATION

​There is a connection between a person’s personality traits and the ability to adapt to the host-country’s environment
—including the ability to communicate within that environment.

Two key personality traits are openness and resilience.
Openness includes traits such as tolerance for ambiguity, extrovertedness, and open-mindedness.
Resilience includes having an internal locus of control, persistence, tolerance for ambiguity, and resourcefulness.

These factors, combined with the person’s cultural and racial identity and level of preparedness for change, comprise that person’s potential for adaptation:
Identity negotiation or management

Communication networks
Networks and outgroup communication competence
Intracultural versus intercultural networks
Networks and acculturation
​
Acculturation and adjustment
Communication acculturation
This theory attempts to portray "cross-cultural adaptation as a collaborative effort in which a stranger and the receiving environment are engaged in a joint effort."
Anxiety/Uncertainty management
When strangers communicate with hosts, they experience uncertainty and anxiety. Strangers need to manage their uncertainty as well as their anxiety in order to be able to communicate effectively with hosts and then to try to develop accurate predictions and explanations for hosts' behaviors.
Assimilation, deviance, and alienation states
Assimilation and adaption are not permanent outcomes of the adaption process; rather, they are temporary outcomes of the communication process between hosts and immigrants. "Alienation or assimilation, therefore, of a group or an individual, is an outcome of the relationship between deviant behavior and neglectful communication."
