An excellent religious attitude can direct students to think and act following the religious values they adhere to in their personal and social lives. This study aimed to analyze the environmental factors in the formation of students' attitudes toward diversity. This study used a qualitative method. The data had been obtained from all informants at SDIT Muhammadiyah, SD Trihasil, and MI Nahdlatul Ulama that met the specified requirements. The data had been collected through interviews, observation, and documentation techniques to be analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the factors forming students' attitudes toward diversity were the family environment, school environment, and community environment. For example, factors that formed the religious attitude of SD Trihasil students were religious education and the family environment. The parents provided religious education through daily habituation and invited their children to daily and monthly recitation. On the other hand, factors that formed students' attitudes toward diversity at SDIT Muhammadiyah were the family through habituation and the Muhammadiyah organization. Furthermore, students’ attitudes toward diversity MI Nahdatul Ulama were influenced by family factors and their community. Thus, internal and external environmental factors influence the students’ attitudes toward diversity.

Purpose Future speech-language pathologists are often unprepared in their academic training to serve the communicative and cognitive needs of older adults with dementia. While negative attitudes toward older adults are prevalent among undergraduate students, service learning has been shown to positively affect students' attitudes toward older adults. TimeSlips is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to improve health care students' attitudes toward older adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the change in attitudes in speech-language pathology students toward older adults using TimeSlips in service learning. Method Fifty-one students participated in TimeSlips service learning with older adults and completed the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS) before and after service learning. In addition, students completed a reflection journal. The DAS data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics, and journal entries were analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. Results The service learners exhibited a significant increase in positive attitude as indexed on the DAS. The reflective journal entries supported the positive change in attitudes. Conclusions A noticeable attitude shift was indexed in reflective journals and on the DAS. TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).
