In contribution to this expansion, the current studies tackled four caveats extending the literature on widely studied angles of intergroup contact and bringing in the contribution of novel emotional mediators in contact effects. First, we examined whether contact experiences also related to social change indicators beyond prejudice, namely, attitudes towards personal and general mixing. Secondly, we included both positive and negative forms of intergroup contact in the majority of the studies we report. Thirdly, we introduced outgroup respect and understanding as novel emotional mediators of contact effects. Finally, we investigated variations of our hypothesized path models in several intergroup contexts across 6 countries and 21 studies (total <em>N</em> = 12,859), a) looking at interethnic and interreligious contact among advantaged and disadvantaged groups, b) tackling different forms of contact such extended contact, close friendships, and secondary transfer effects, and c) testing for longitudinal effects. We have shown evidence that positive experiences with outgroups are positively related to pro-mixing attitudes, via increased levels of outgroup respect and also outgroup understanding, the latter being observed in inter/ethnoreligious contexts. We discuss these findings in light of other recent advancements within the larger framework of intergroup contact research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314572","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}

Simultaneously, it has been reported that international students are at high risk of developing mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, isolation, and even suicide, due to a number of driving forces. Given that prospective international students who go abroad are part of the population with low life satisfaction, why do they take such a risk to go abroad? In this study, interviews with 10 international students studying at a national university in Japan revealed that they face several difficulties in their destination country that may cause them to experience mental health problems. It also revealed that mental health problems were among the factors that influenced the international students’ decision to study abroad. For some students, studying abroad was a way to escape a stressful previous environment in which they felt psychologically maladjusted, and getting away from such a stressful environment was one of the main reasons behind their decision to go abroad. Some others reported that their psychological distress played a secondary role in their decision and that they had other primary reasons for choosing to study abroad. Some students chose to study abroad not in spite of, but because of, psychological difficulties in their home countries, suggesting that more attention must be paid to mental health issues as a factor driving students to study abroad.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014717672400138X/pdfft?md5=b0dfbf6c782b698591312707ad3afc7c&pid=1-s2.0-S014717672400138X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142312117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the theory of normative social behavior (TNSB), this study investigates the direct and moderated effects of social norms on intentions to wear masks and practice social distancing cross-culturally during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020. Representative samples were recruited from the United States (<em>N</em> = 333) and Italy (<em>N</em> = 331), two countries with different cultural tightness-looseness and orientations (individualistic-collectivistic; indulgence-restraint; uncertainty avoidance). Results revealed that perceived descriptive norms directly influenced behavioral intentions in the U.S., while perceived injunctive norms were more influential in Italy. Outcome expectations moderated the relationship between descriptive norms and mask-wearing intentions in both countries. Specifically, as perceived benefits increased, the effect of norms on mask-wearing intentions attenuated in both countries. Group identity strengthened the association between descriptive norms and mask-wearing intentions only in Italy. These findings highlight that cultural differences play an important role in normative influence mechanisms, with the U.S. being more influenced by what others do (descriptive norms) and Italy by what others approve of (injunctive norms). The study contributes to the refinement of the TNSB and emphasizes the importance of considering cultural factors in developing effective norm-based interventions to address global health challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142243007","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}

Using Latent Profile Analysis, the current investigation aimed to identify subgroups of dominant ethnic participants and examine potential difference in their endorsement of multiculturalism towards subaltern ethnic groups. Based on the existing literature, subgroups of dominant members were identified along with the combination of multiple obstacles (i.e., national identity and intolerance) and resources (i.e., positive intergroup contact, psychological resilience and universalism) towards the endorsement of multiculturalism. Findings from a transnational sample of individuals (N. 636) across three Southern European Countries (i.e., Italy, Portugal and Spain) yielded five distinct profiles (i.e., <em>Cosmopolitans</em>, <em>Glocals</em>, <em>Parochials</em>, <em>Resilient Intolerants</em> and <em>Disengaged</em>). Also, they indicated that the identified subgroups differed on patterns of key psychosocial variables and degree of endorsement of multiculturalism. The majority of the sample (<em>Cosmopolitans</em>, <em>Glocals</em> and <em>Disegnaged</em>) show high level of multiculturalism, despite interesting differences characterized the distribution of the profiles across the three countries: the more intolerant profiles (<em>Parochials</em> and <em>Resilient Intolerants</em>) were prevalent in Italy. Contrarily to our expectations, national identity was not exclusionary per se, as has been reported elsewhere. Rather, depending on its combination with other key variables, it worked either as an obstacle or as a resource towards the support for multiculturalism of dominant ethnic members. Potential contributions of Latent Profile Analysis for an in depth understanding of multiculturalism and implications for interventions are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147176724001202/pdfft?md5=8b18f5fa6f3261d34e838a83eaaf4c49&pid=1-s2.0-S0147176724001202-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142172081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
