Living and working in a foreign culture is difficult for a large number of people. One phenomenon is the 'culture shock' syndrome. Understanding of the host country's subjective culture may, therefore, determine to a large degree an individual's success in his job as well as in his ability to adjust. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of a task-related assimilator on the productivity of groups working for a considerable period of time. It was hypothesized that groups trained with an assimilator containing task-specific items would be superior in performance than those groups not receiving assimilator training.
