Mutual Obligation

Liberal nationalists argue that identification with the nation promotes feelings of mutual obligation, including support for redistribution. Existing attempts to test this hypothesis have focused on whether the higher sense of national identity among the majority increases support redistribution. We argue for a twofold shift in focus. First, beyond the majority’s own national identity, we need to explore their perceptions of whether minorities share this identity. Second, we need to shift from one-dimensional ideals of ‘identity’ to more complex ideas of attachment and commitment. Do members of the majority view minorities as committed to the nation and willing to make sacrifices for it? Drawing on a custom-designed online survey in Canada, we show that three salient out-groups (Aboriginal peoples, French-speaking Canadians and immigrants) are seen by majority respondents as less committed to Canada, and that this is a powerful predictor of support for general and inclusive redistribution.

This bulletin presents the findings of the latest survey of identity crime and misuse undertaken by the Australian Institute of Criminology as part of the Australian Government’s National Identity Security Strategy. In 2021, 9,956 people across Australia were surveyed about their experience of victimisation over their lifetime and during 2020. Nineteen percent of respondents had experienced misuse of their personal information in their lifetime and seven percent experienced it in the past year—a decline from 2019. Seventy-eight percent of respondents who reported victimisation in the past year experienced a financial loss as a result.

Abstract Background: With the increasing digitalization of the working environment, the demands on managers are changing fundamentally to the point of an emerging field of research in digital leadership. Municipal administrations are particularly affected by the digital transformation processes. Therefore, a score to measure the construct of digital leadership competence in the context of virtual-based workstation was developed and tested.Methods: Based of an online survey with n = 546 employees at virtual-based workstations in municipal administrations in 2020, the instrument is tested regarding selectivity (coefficients), dimensionality (principal component analysis), homogeneity (inter-product-moment correlations), reliability (Cronbach's α) and construct validity (correlation with general leadership skills).Results: The instrument can be considered selective, one-dimensional, homogeneous, reliable and constructively valid in the sense of the formulated hypotheses. By integrating the employees‘ perspective, the instrument aims to be one of the first of its kind to initiate a scientific further discourse. Among other things, the categorization of the co-determination component as either traditional or digital leadership can be discussed.Conclusions: The developed instrument for measuring digital leadership performs well concerning the aspects of discriminatory power, one-dimensionality, homogeneity, reliability as well as construct validity. It aims to induce further research and a scientific discourse on the topic of health-oriented leadership within the world of work 4.0.

Abstract:Migration debates tend to focus on the numbers of people moving, whether they are economic migrants or asylum seekers, deserving or not of protection. This categorization usually rests on national identity, necessitating simplified one-dimensional representations. Ndlovu uses a case study of Zimbabwean migrants memorializing Gukurahundi in Johannesburg to highlight the ways in which migration narratives can be more complex and how they may shift over time. She presents Gukurahundi and the formation of the MDC in Zimbabwe, along with xenophobic violence in South Africa, as examples of the ways that the meanings of national and ethnic identities are contested by the migrants and influenced by political events across time and space.

The Native game of lacrosse has undergone a considerable amount of change since it was appropriated from Aboriginal peoples beginning in the 1840s. Through this reformulation, non-Native Canadians attempted to establish a national identity through the sport and barred Aboriginal athletes from championship competitions. And yet, lacrosse remained a significant element of Aboriginal culture, spirituality, and the Native originators continued to play the game beyond the non-Native championship classifications. Despite their absence from championship play the Aboriginal roots of lacrosse were zealously celebrated as a form of North American antiquity by non-Aboriginals and through this persistence Natives developed their own identity as players of the sport. Ousted from international competition for more than a century, this article examines the formation of the Iroquois Nationals (lacrosse team representing the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in international competition) between 1983-1990 and their struggle to re-enter international competition as a sovereign nation. It will demonstrate how the Iroquois Nationals were a symbolic element of a larger resurgence of Haudenosaunee “traditionalism” and how the team was a catalyst for unmasking intercommunity conflicts between that traditionalism—engrained within the Haudenosaunee’s “traditional” Longhouse religion, culture, and gender constructions— and new political adaptations.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test whether separate tense and energetic forms of arousal impact consumer attitudes and provide a more complete understanding of the role of arousal in product evaluations. Past consumer research has treated arousal as a single dimension and found mixed results of the relation of arousal to consumer attitudes. Design/methodology/approach – Study 1 was an online survey of consumers’ experiences with interactive products. The study tested whether the two hypothesized types of arousal were associated with different product features and related to attitudes in different (opposite) patterns. Study 2 was an experiment in which the type of arousal used to describe a vacation location was manipulated. The study tested the role of the two types of arousal in determining the effectiveness of the advertisements for people with different arousal-related orientations. Findings – In Study 1, tense arousal mediated effects on the ergonomic qualities of the product on attitudes, whereas energetic arousal mediated effects on the hedonic qualities on attitudes. In Study 2, effects of advertisements were primarily driven by the tense arousal dimension for more telic-oriented (i.e. planning ahead) people and by the energetic arousal dimension for more paratelic-oriented (i.e. spontaneous) people. In both studies, treating arousal as a single dimension would have led to misleading conclusions. Originality/value – This research demonstrates that separating arousal into a two- rather than one-dimensional construct can provide greater insights to the affective mechanisms underlying consumer attitudes.

The Bulletin de la dialyse à Domicile (Home Dialysis Bulletin) is a quaterly open access journal, created in June 2018. It adheres to international standards of ethics and good practices in medical publishing; it is indexed in the directory of open access journals (doaj.org). The aim of this work was, by means of an anonymous online survey, to assess its appreciation among French-speaking nephrologists and healthcare teams. The analysis of the responses to the survey highlighted a high degree of appreciation by readers, the importance of using their native language which abrogates language barriers to their easy access to medical or nursing information, the need for practical articles but also recommendations, the sharing of clinical cases. Readers believe that the Bulletin de la Dialyse à Domicile provides them with a source of information to which they have little or no access elsewhere. It responds to a clearly expressed need for all those who take care of patients treated by home dialysis, but remains closely linked to English speakers because its the bi-lingual online publication which give the opportunity to accept foreign  submissions and share experience between countries.

Survey Results

This report presents the findings of the latest survey of identity crime and misuse undertaken by the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) as part of the Australian Government’s National Identity Security Strategy. Identity crime is one of the most prevalent forms of criminal activity in Australia and can have severe and lasting consequences for victims. In 2018, nearly 10,000 people from across Australia were surveyed about their experience of victimisation, over their lifetime and during the preceding 12 months. The survey results for 2018 are compared with those of the 2017 identity crime survey. The 2018 survey found 25 percent of respondents had experienced misuse of their personal information at some time during their life, with 12 percent experiencing it in the previous 12 months. Similar numbers of respondents reported out-of-pocket losses in 2018 (945) and 2017 (950). The total out-of-pocket losses experienced were substantially lower in 2018 ($2m) than in 2017 ($2.9m). The results from the 2018 survey help policymakers to raise awareness of identity crime and reduce its impact throughout Australia.

History Of

This article examines the history of Salafism within the Kurdistan Region of Iraq using interviews, archives, social media, and an online survey. Despite Salafism and nationalism generally being seen as rival political ideologies, Kurdish Salafis have over the last decade increasingly linked their sectarian struggle to the Kurdish ethno-nationalist cause. Such efforts provide new understandings both of Salafism and of Kurdish nationalism while also potentially destabilizing the alliance between Kurdish nationalist and Shi'i sectarian parties that has governed Iraq since 2003.

This study examines the structure of death-related attitudes among French-speaking people. Participants from Canada, Belgium, France, and from Switzerland whose mother tongue was French in an online survey responded to the French adaptation of the item pool of the Multidimensional Orientation Toward Dying and Death Inventory (MODDI; N = 373). Exploratory factor analyses with orthogonal and oblique rotation yielded a 5-factor Fear domain and a 3-factor Acceptance domain, thereby reproducing the a-priori conceptualization. These results are discussed with respect to the issue of universal dimensions of death-related attitudes across cultures.

Having announced its independence in 1945, Indonesia is still “a state in search of a nation.” Consisted of more than 300 ethnic tribes and around 600 local languages and dialects, ruthless religious, ethnic, ideology, region conflicts, and civil war have even been intensified after the New Order regime collapsed in 1998. By using Social Representation theory, online survey research involving 114 Indonesians living in the United Kingdom is used to explore these points; how Indonesian negotiate their ethnic, religious, and national identity, the historical theme and important figures in Indonesia’s history, and the connection between ethnic, religious, and national identity and attitudes towards the New Order. Research findings suggest that national and ethnic identity, as well as ethnic and religious identity, is consensual, while the relation between religious and national identity is emancipated. Independence theme is dominant in Indonesia’s history as the Declaration of Independence and Soekarno–Hatta are the prominent event and figures. The experience being under the rule of Soeharto is positively correlated with religious identity, indicates that Soeharto’s anti-communism project is remarked as an important accomplishment from a religious community standpoint. The research also found that people are not completely happy with the regime’s achievements, but do not strongly have contempt for the regime’s policies at the same time.
