Abstract： Returnees usually face problems of re-adaptation when returning to their home country after living abroad for a period of time. One of the significant issues is the reverse culture shock. This latter may have severe consequential impacts on returnee’s mental health, emotional stress, interpersonal relationships and sociocultural adaptation. Our current work sorts out the psychological and behavioral consequences of the reverse cultural shock, and analyzes the conceptual framework and its underlying mental processes. It is our hope that this work would provide scientific evidence and empirical support to better inform the government and higher education institutions regarding policy making. "
