Abstract

Culture shock is a condition that can cause confusion to the environment with a new culture so that it can trigger
negative emotions. Adjustment is a process that includes mental response and behavior, individuals trying to be
able to successfully overcome the needs in themselves, tensions, conflicts and frustration they experience, so as to
realize the level of harmony between demands from within with what expected by the environment. This study
aims to determine the relationship between adjustment and culture shock in NTT students in the early semester at
Wijaya Putra University. The hypothesis in this study is that there is a significant relationship between selfadjustment and culture shock. The number of samples used is 50 respondents. The sampling technique used in this
study was purposive incidental sampling. Measuring instruments used were culture shock scale questionnaire 32
items and adjustment items scale 59 items. Data were analyzed using product moment analysis. The analysis
shows the value (rxy) = -0.652 with p = 0.000 (p <0.05), meaning that there is a negative relationship between
adjustment and culture shock ie the lower the level of adjustment, the higher the level of culture shock in NTT
students in the early semester in Wijaya Putra University.
