This article investigates the role of relational motives in the saying-is-believing effect ( Higgins & Rholes, 1978 ). Building on shared reality theory, we expected this effect to be most likely when communicators were motivated to “get along” with the audience. In the current study, participants were asked to describe an ambiguous target to an audience who either liked or disliked the target. The audience had been previously evaluated as a desirable vs. undesirable communication partner. Only participants who communicated with a desirable audience tuned their messages to suit their audience’s attitude toward the target. In line with predictions, they also displayed an audience-congruent memory bias in later recall.

Abstract. Recent extensions to the contact hypothesis reveal that different forms of contact, such as mediated intergroup contact, can reduce intergroup anxiety and improve attitudes toward the outgroup. This study draws on existing research to further consider the role of identification with an ingroup character within a narrative depicting intergroup contact between Muslim and non-Muslim Americans. Results reveal that identification with the non-Muslim (ingroup) model facilitated liking the Muslim (outgroup) model, which reduced prejudice toward Muslims more generally. Identification with the ingroup model also increased conversational self-efficacy and reduced anxiety about future intergroup interactions – both important aspects of improving intergroup relations.

Armenians are among the smallest ethnic minorities in Jordan and have been in the country for a fairly long period of time. This paper will deal mainly with the position and role of Armenian women in Jordanian society by reviewing their general characteristics, social and economic status (based on data from a recent study about Armenians in Jordan), using indicators that reflect their position and role in the concerned areas from a gendered perspective.

Abstract: This article proposes a framework for the analysis of the role of ethnic minorities in Canadian broadcasting. It takes into consideration the intersection of American, English-Canadian, and French-Canadian television output, as well as the divergent underlying cultural and linguistic policies of the Canadian and Quebec governments. Résumé: Cet article présente un cadre pour l'analyse du rôle des minorités ethniques dans la radiodiffusion canadienne. Ce cadre tient compte de l'intersection des émissions télévisées américaines, canadiennes anglaises et canadiennes françaises, ainsi que des divergences dans les politiques culturelles et linguistiques sous-jacentes des gouvernements du Canada et du Québec.
