Psychological health refers to the integration in oneself of the various cognitive, affective and behavioral components of both one's own and the new environment. Otherwise, a maladaptation can generate psychic or psychological disorders derived from an inadequate balance between said components.[3]​.

Some of the effects of culture shock that can manifest are: negative self-image, low self-esteem, social isolation, general dissatisfaction,... (Torbiorn, 1982). Different aspects that if we did not have any throughout our lives we would never be able to achieve full happiness.

On the other hand, the stress generated by culture shock, that is, the sense of internal frustration or disintegration that the person may experience; It frequently manifests itself in hostility and aggression.

A very clear example that Torbiorn uses in his frustration-aggression hypothesis is the example with the foreigner who decides for economic, cultural, professional reasons, etc. to move to a country different from his or her usual residence for a period longer than a year and who experiences the need to adapt and cannot achieve it.

This individual suffers, for various reasons, this state of frustration that manifests itself in aggressiveness and hostility towards the other group, with which, to a certain extent, he revokes, rejects and devalues ​​said need, thus alleviating his own frustration.

There are ethnographic variables (nationality, ethnicity, language or religion) that can significantly affect the individual. However, it is essential to focus on the final objective, which is the adaptation of the person and their social group to the environment in which they live.[3]​.

All these aspects, which on various occasions, we take as obvious determine both the social relationship and other more individual aspects of the person both in private life and in the performance of a professional activity.

The influence of culture on the person (identity, worldview, desires, values, expectations,...) is obvious in the exercise of their social role (as a painter, as a director, as a student,...) and the way they relate (with equals, with authority, in the public sphere, in the private sphere,...).

Various authors such as Hofstede, Trompenaars, Hampden-turner, Bond and Hall have characterized these influences in the form of cultural models with which different cultures can be understood and analyzed to facilitate knowledge, understanding and interaction with the people belonging to them.

Furthermore, the review of the literature has served to demonstrate how in intercultural relationships, that is, the situation in which people from different cultures come into contact, a series of psychological and social processes are activated that determine their nature and outcome; without forgetting, the uncertainty that people experience when acting in cultural contexts that are not their own.

This uncertainty or concern may be due to the possibility of not being capable enough to function, concern about not being harmed by a conflict, concern about being a victim of misunderstandings,….

The anxiety generated by all these possibilities can create difficulties that make said relationship impossible. For this reason, Gudykunst developed the AUM theory on the management of this anxiety caused by uncertainty and which, together with knowledge about cultural models, acts as a key factor of intercultural competence.

To conclude, say that the person with intercultural competence must be able to evaluate and order the aspects of their own professional behavior, the behaviors of the other people with whom they have to interact, and the requirements of the job and the organization from the perspective of culture. Being able to respond to these requirements (technical, social and institutional) through behaviors resulting from reflection, understanding and intercultural sensitivity.

Echeverría (2002) analyzed the impact of major structural transformations (whether in technology, the economy or social dynamics itself) on production processes or on the provision of services and organizational structures; These being the bases that determine the requirements to which the person must respond through their professional competence. These requirements go beyond one's own technical capacity and entail a series of attitudes and behaviors in which interpersonal relationships, participation, lifelong learning and interest in others are key elements for professional success.[3]​.

Finally, mention that the person's own knowledge, skills and attitudes must be grouped internally so that they can carry out a certain function or task, overcome possible challenges and difficulties that may arise autonomously and flexibly and collaborate with their co-workers by participating in their professional environment.[3]​.
