Consequences for the inadequately resourced expatriating family
thesis
posted on 2017-03-01, 03:48 authored by Edwards, ScottWhat is the impact of cultural adjustment on an individual's sense of
coherence and how does this affect the equilibrium of the self-initiated
expatriate family? What resources reinforce the cohesion and attachment within
these families?
In order to address the above issues the primary aim of the thesis was to
investigate how expatriating family members accommodated the adjustment
required of individuals and the family unit upon entering a new cultural setting.
More Specifically the principal research topics examined were:
• the impact of expatriation upon both an individual's sense of
coherence and the equilibrium or cohesion and attachment within
the expatriating family
• the problems that arise from expatriation including the demands of
adjusting to a new cultural setting
• the coping mechanisms and resources, both internal and external,
required to accommodate these problems and cultural challenges
• the indirect or hidden costs of long term disturbance of an
individual's sense of coherence and a family 's equilibrium and
attachment.
