Focusing on Nigerian immigrants in the US, we draw on the Stereotype Content Model to assess perceptions of warmth and competence, alongside established prejudice measures (social distance and feeling thermometer). A total of 516 US citizens completed an online, between-subjects experiment in one of four conditions: (1) Control (no information), (2) Between-Country (emphasizing Nigeria’s economic disadvantages relative to the US), (3) Within-Country (highlighting Nigerian immigrants’ socioeconomic success within the US), or (4) Combined (providing both sets of information). Participants exposed to Nigeria’s lower economic standing reported higher prejudice and rated Nigerian immigrants as lower in warmth and competence. Conversely, information about Nigerian immigrants’ strong socioeconomic position in the US led to more favorable views, mitigating the negative effects of the between-country frame. These findings underscore how specific informational contexts significantly shape both stereotypes and prejudice, offering practical avenues for reducing intergroup bias. We situate these results within cross-categorization theories and emergent attribute perspectives, showing that global and local status cues jointly shape societal perceptions of immigrant groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interestingly, entertainment media had no measurable effect. The total effect of Hong Kong identity on British identity is largely explained by these two mediating pathways rather than by direct association alone.

However, the factors that may promote or hinder minority students’ academic success in higher education remain unclear. To elucidate these factors, the current study assessed Arab-Palestinian students’ academic success by adapted implementation of a culturally engaging campus model through four clusters of factors involved in minority academic success: personal factors (e.g., self-efficacy, academic belonging, and intent to persist), social factors related to the socio-political context, cultural environmental factors of campus (e.g., cultural responsiveness and cultural relevance), and background characteristics. Using a quantitative approach, 544 Arab undergraduate students enrolled at eight universities and colleges in Israel completed an online self-reporting questionnaire.

Culturally engaging campus environment and personal factors had a dominant role in mediating the effects of social variables on academic outcomes. Most Arab-Palestinian students in higher education in Isreal self-identify as Arabs. This potential identity conflict may indeed hinder their success in Israeli academic institutions. The findings highlight the need for individualized interventions and culturally responsive, relevant institutional policy that addresses the student’s barriers as an individual rather than as a uniform minority.

This highlights the need for a systematic analysis to understand and organize these factors comprehensively.

The analysis reveals a sharp increase in publications, particularly since 2018, with the International Journal of Intercultural Relations emerging as the leading outlet for research in this field. Building on Job Demands-Resources theory, the review identifies five key clusters of factors influencing intercultural adaptation: personal resources, situational resources, personal demands, situational demands, and demographic factors. The findings of the review reveal that personal resources (e.g., emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, psychological capital, self-determination, multicultural personality, personal growth initiatives, academic self-efficacy) and situational resources (e.g., social support, social connectedness, attachment, social media use) play a critical role in facilitating adaptation. Conversely, personal demands (e.g., acculturative stress, academic strain, intergroup anxiety) and situational demands (e.g., perceived discrimination, cultural distance, sociocultural difficulties) negatively impact adaptation outcomes. Demographic factors (e.g., gender, age, and educational level) are also associated with adaptation, though the results remain inconsistent.

Our findings indicate that anti-women regulations have severely undermined Afghan women’s basic psychological needs for safety, security, autonomy, competence, and social bonding. Additionally, we show that acts of violence against women undermine women’s human dignity, facilitated by dehumanising women. We also explore the restrictions imposed by the ruling powers and cultural hierarchies that aim to render women invisible and keep them in a domestic prison. While resistance is not ubiquitous among Afghan women, those who do resist often use less overt forms, due to the anticipated repression, such as establishing secret online schools for girls. Our findings also indicate that a shared social identity and nostalgia for past achievements contribute to resistance. Besides that, migration to other countries is widely perceived as an individual response to the feeling of threat, frustration and hopelessness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102250"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144656108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
