Cultural adjustment is a core concept in the intercultural field (Ward, Bochner, & Furnham, 2001). Having culture general knowledge about adjustment is seen as central to working effectively across cultures.

Well known instruments that measure cultural adjustment include the Cross‐Cultural Adaptability Inventory (Kelley & Meyers, 1999) and the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale‐Revised (SCAS‐R; Ward & Kennedy, 1999; Wilson, Ward, Fetvadjiev, & Bethel, 2017). The SCAS‐R is described below.
