Abstract

This cross-cultural study examines the relationship between perceived COVID-19 changes due to the impacts on everyday life by the pandemic with social exclusion and across 32 cultures and their levels in collectivism. With data from the start of the first outbreak from March 2020 to June 2020 (N = 9245), multilevel analysis indicated that as individuals perceive greater daily life changes induced by the pandemic, they experience heightened levels of social exclusion, with this association being particularly pronounced in less collectivistic cultures. These findings underscore the importance of considering cultural context in understanding responses to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, with implications for culturally sensitive interventions aimed at promoting social inclusion across diverse cultural contexts.

理解感知的COVID-19变化、集体主义和社会排斥：一项32个国家的跨文化研究

这项跨文化研究考察了由于大流行对日常生活的影响而产生的COVID-19变化与社会排斥以及32种文化及其集体主义水平之间的关系。根据2020年3月至2020年6月第一次疫情开始时的数据（N = 9245），多层次分析表明，随着个人感受到大流行导致的更大日常生活变化，他们经历的社会排斥程度更高，这种关联在集体主义程度较低的文化中尤为明显。这些发现强调了在理解应对COVID-19大流行等危机时考虑文化背景的重要性，这对旨在促进不同文化背景下的社会包容的文化敏感干预措施具有重要意义。

The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
