The research was designed with mixed methods. Twenty-two junior students studying in the guidance and psychological counseling department of the Faculty of Education of a state university participated in the study. The study was conducted over nine weeks. In the quantitative phase of the research, a single group pretest posttest quasi-experimental design was used. To collect data for the qualitative phase, the researchers created an open-ended questionnaire to collect the opinions of psychological counselor candidates about the application process. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, one of the non-parametric tests, was used to analyze quantitative data in the study. As a result of the application process, there was a positive significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the students in the study group regarding their multicultural competence and their attitudes towards social justice. According to qualitative findings, four themes emerged regarding multicultural competencies: (a) Awareness, (b) Understanding different cultures, (c) Professional skills, (d) Concepts. The themes that emerged regarding social justice are as follows: (a) Sensitivity, (b) Advocacy for rights, (c) Social structure, (d) Fundamental rights. Considering these findings, educational process supported by migration-themed DST positively contributed to the multicultural competencies of psychological counselor candidates and their attitudes toward social justice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102065"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420451","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}

That makes it critical to explore the factors that influence whether people get vaccinated. Perceived risk is a pivotal factor in traditional theories of health behavior, such as the Risk Perception Attitude framework and the Health Belief Model. However, studies have found that these models are less predictive of COVID-19 vaccination in some cultures. Studies that test culture by comparing nations are useful, but nations have different healthcare systems and policies that are hard to equate and control for. We addressed this question by testing regional cultural differences in China. Drawing on the rice theory, we compared residents in China's historical rice-farming areas (which are more interdependent) with those in wheat-farming areas (which are more independent). Our survey data from 1872 participants in 29 provinces found that models of perceived risk explained COVID-19 vaccination mainly in historically wheat-farming areas. Conversely, in historically rice-farming areas, perceived risk did not explain vaccination behavior. These findings suggest that cultural factors that are rooted in historical farming practices influence vaccination behaviors. By comparing regions within the same country, we can rule out confounds of national policy and healthcare systems. These insights could help policymakers understand how to tailor vaccination campaigns to people from different cultures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Intercultural Relations","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102075"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420506","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}

Findings indicate that almost 40 % of participants experienced racism, with vicarious experiences of physical violence and unfair treatment being more prevalent, while direct experiences of microaggressions and verbal/written abuse were more common. Female, younger, Chinese, and South East Asian participants, those for whom English is a first language, and students reported disproportionate reductions in generalized trust. Negative associations were identified between vicarious and direct racism experiences and changes in generalized trust. Crucially, our analysis reveals that vicarious microaggression experiences have a greater negative association with generalized trust than direct experiences, challenging prevailing perceptions of their significance.

The context for the study was provided by Poles’ (an unaffected third group) collective action for Ukrainian refugees (a disadvantaged outgroup) fleeing the Russian (an advantaged outgroup) invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Using data collected across four measurements conducted between March 2022 and February 2023, we found that the level of Poles’ willingness to engage for Ukrainian refugees and all group-based emotions except guilt decreased over time. Notably, the decline in collective action was explained by the decreases in outgroup-directed empathy and ingroup pride but not by changes in the remaining group-based emotions.

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.

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.

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":"103 ","pages":"Article 102068"},"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}
