Abstract

The phenomenon of culture shock is a psychological and emotional challenge experienced by individuals when faced with a new environment that is different from their native culture. This study examines the culture shock experienced by respondents from Gorontalo while studying in Yogyakarta and their readaptation process when returning to their native culture. To analyze this process, the U-Shaped Curve theory from Sverre Lysgaard, which explains the phases of adaptation in a new environment, and the W-Curve theory from John T. Gullahorn and Jeanne E. Gullahorn, which adds the dimension of reverse culture shock upon returning to one's home region, were used. The research method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach, through in-depth interviews with six Gorontalo student respondents who had completed their studies in Yogyakarta and returned to settle in Gorontalo for at least six months. The results of the study show that respondents experienced phases of culture shock, starting with initial euphoria towards the academic environment in Yogyakarta, followed by a crisis phase characterized by language difficulties, differences in learning systems, academic competition, and feelings of inferiority. This was followed by a recovery phase with the presence of social support and independent learning strategies, and finally an adaptation phase where they successfully adjusted to the academic culture of Yogyakarta. Upon returning to Gorontalo, the respondents also faced reverse culture shock in the form of a gap in facilities, differences in academic rhythm, and changes in social identity. However, through a process of readaptation, they were able to integrate their experiences in Yogyakarta into their academic and social lives in Gorontalo. This study emphasizes that understanding the process of cultural shock and readaptation is crucial to supporting migrant students in navigating academic and social transitions. Additionally, these findings can serve as a reference for educational institutions and student organizations in providing more effective cross-cultural adaptation support.
