'Gringos' in Mexico: Cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of language school-promoted contact on intergroup bias.
No full textAbstract: A longitudinal field study examined Pettigrew's (1998) intergroup contact theory and Gaertner et al.'s (2000) Common Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM). In Pettigrew's model, the contact-prejudice relation is mediated by changing behavior, ingroup reappraisal, generating affective ties, and learning about the outgroup. Pettigrew's integration of the three chief models of contact generalization into a time-sequence holds that contact first elicits decategorization, then salient categorization, and finally recategorization. In CIIM, these three levels of categorization-plus a fourth, dual identity-are thought to be mediators in the contact-prejudice relation. Results underline the crucial mediating role of behavior modification in Pettigrew's model and interpersonal and superordinate levels in CIIM. An attempt to partially integrate the two models is presented
A people's Entente Cordiale? The role of implicit attitude in the relationship between English-French contact, levels of categorization, and explicit intergroup attitudes
No full textThe Common Ingroup Identity Model (CIIM) holds that four levels of categorization (the
interpersonal, intergroup, and particularly, superordinate group, and dual identity levels)
mediate the intergroup contact-bias relationship. CIIM was tested in an Anglo-French
intergroup context with explicit and implicit (IAT) measures of prejudice. Results showed that
the intergroup level partially mediated an increase in bias and all other levels partially mediated
a reduction in bias. Implicit attitude moderated three effects of contact and levels of
categorization on intergroup anxiety. Contact, superordinate and dual identity levels of
categorization were associated with reduced anxiety when implicit bias was high, but not when it
was low
Intraregional migration in Latin America: Psychological perspectives on acculturation and intergroup relations.
No full textThis book addresses the psychosocial causes, consequences, and underpinnings of intraregional migration in Latin America.War, political instability, and disparities in wealth and opportunity have long driven migration within Latin America, and this process shows no sign of slowing. In this book, cross-cultural and social psychologists address the urgent issues that face migrants throughout Central and South America.This includes overt prejudice and discrimination, particularly toward immigrants of indigenous or African-American origin; microaggressions; the tendency to positively value fair skin and European surnames; as well as political questions regarding the nature of citizenship and nationhood and links between legacies of colonialism and slavery and present-day inequality.Contributors offer conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools for understanding the psychological processes that underlie migration and intergroup contact. Chapters focus on migration between and within countries in Central and South America, including Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil
Säkerhetsarbetet i kundens tjänst eller inte?- på ett nöjesfält
No full textSammanfattning Titel: Säkerhetsarbetet i kundens tjänst eller inte?- på ett nöjesfält Författare: Anja Grönvall, Ida Jensen och Andreas Källström Syfte: Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur anläggningens hanterande av säkerhet påverkar turistens syn på en turistanläggning. Metod: Vi har utfört en enkätundersökning för att kunna få en uppfattning av hur Lisebergs kunder anser att säkerhetsarbetet fungerar. För att även undersöka hur säkerhetskommunikationen förmedlas till turisten valde vi att genomföra deltagande observationer. För att fånga Lisebergs syn på hur turisten uppfattar och påverkas av säkerhetsarbetet har vi valt att göra en kvalitativ intervju med den marknadsansvarige på Liseberg. Slutsats: Turisternas krav och förväntningar på säkerhet och säkerhetsarbete blir allt mer omfattande i takt med att allt fler olyckor inträffar. Kraven och förväntningarna påverkas i stor utsträckning även av medias rapportering av dessa händelser. Organisationernas hanterande av säkerhet kommer i framtiden att bli allt mer betydelsefullt. Turister kommer i framtiden kräva att organisationer kommunicerar ett öppnare säkerhetsarbete. Turistdestinationer som uppnår detta kan i framtiden dra nytta av detta som en konkurrensfördel
Institutionalizing ASEAN: celebrating Europe through network governance
No full textThis article provides a new piece for two of the puzzles of institutionalized cooperation in Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). First, with regard to the organization's four decades of existence, there has always been a marked gap between ASEAN's rhetorical goals of cooperation and its actual achievements. What explains these systematic failures of implementation? Second, from the outset, ASEAN was criticized for its light institutionalization, which failed to deliver the substantial cooperation goals. Despite selected institutional reforms, ASEAN's autonomy has not increased remarkably and it has not made any major institutional innovations. Why does ASEAN design institutions it does not use? Why does this transformation gap occur? The author suggests a sociological institutional explanation and argues that major impulses for cooperation have come from outside Southeast Asia, most importantly from Europe. By mimicking the European integration process, ASEAN member states have effectively created an isomorphic organization. The Association's institutional development reflects a concern for international legitimacy and less an objective functional demand arising from the specific interactions of member states. This copying process has led to network governance within the organization

Discussing Anja Štefan`s fairytales in the first year of primary school
No full textFairytales are an indispensable part in children's lives. They stimulate the development of imagination, fantasy; they help to enrich children’s vocabulary and with expressing feelings. There are different types of fairytales and it is very important that children get to know the variety of them. I firstly presented a youth author Anja Štefan and her literary works in my diploma paper. Later on I continued with the presentation of youth literature and I defined the theory of a fairytale, wrote about the origin, its meaning and classification of fairytales which I have also described in greater detail. I stated and described authorial prose work of Anja Štefan: picture book Lešniki, lešniki and classic fairytales Kotiček na koncu sveta, Melje, melje mlinček and Štiri črne mravljice, which can be defined as animal fairytales. I was interested in the receptive development of children in the period of intuitive intelligence, which I thoroughly described. In the empirical part of my diploma I wrote lesson plans for discussing and teaching three Anja Štefan’s animal fairytales in the first grade of primary school. 25 children took part in the research. I found out that pupils distinguish between real and unreal life (imaginative life), they are capable of identifying themselves with a literary person and they perceive animals as literary persons and they identify themselves with them
