This paper describes the development and evaluation of a new questionnaire to measure culture shock. The population was young British volunteers working in a variety of cultural settings overseas (N = 380). Core culture shock items were derived from a consensus statement from the literature on culture shock. Additional items were obtained from an analysis of reports by previous volunteers. Internal consistency of items, as determined by correlation coefficients and factor analysis, was satisfactory; this also lends some empirical support to the concept of culture shock. External criterion validity was established by reference to the country of destination and correlation with a measure of cultural distance. A 12-item questionnaire to measure culture shock is offered for further use and evaluation.
本文描述了一份用于测量文化冲击的新问卷的开发与评估。研究对象是在海外各种文化环境中工作的年轻英国志愿者（N = 380）。核心文化冲击项目源自关于文化冲击的文献中的共识声明。其他项目则通过对之前志愿者报告的分析获得。通过相关系数和因子分析确定的项目内部一致性令人满意；这也为文化冲击的概念提供了一些实证支持。通过参考目的地国家并与文化距离度量进行关联，建立了外部标准效度。现提供一份包含12个项目的用于测量文化冲击的问卷，以供进一步使用和评估。
