Early and Mosakowski then present a six stage self-learning model "Cultivating Your Cultural Intelligence" that applies both to foreign culture and different enterprise cultures.

One important finding is that there are relationships between how individuals acculturate and how well they adapt: Often those who integrate (defined as being engaged in both their heritage culture and in the larger society) are better adapted than those who acculturate by orienting themselves to one or the other culture (by way of assimilation or separation) or to neither culture (marginalization)., adaptation to US culture, western food, different housing, bringing up children in the US and teaching them values of the native culture, efforts made to learn English language and teach the same to children, attempts at wearing both native and western clothes, and adaptation to stress caused by a new culture., respondents who reported higher satisfaction with their past social life in Iraq reported almost 47% increased likelihood of reporting high acculturative stress., a necessity for the relocated South Sudanese to adopt some features of the Australian culture, while retaining positive values, traditions and behaviors of their original culture., resettlement in the host society require[s] the new community to manage their daily matters with the help of new living and communication skills., This initiative would result in a form of social networking, which alone is beneficial in reducing acculturation stress following resettlement, An examination of a range of definitions of culture indicates that almost all researchers agree that culture is reflected in shared cognitions, standard operating procedures, and unexamined assumptions.

The first pool should be very large and items are eliminated from the initial pool in the validation process, during which researchers balance desires for higher reliability of measurement with practicality, resulting in final item pools that allow for reasonably reliable measurement of KSAOs while not being too long..
