Perception Bias

In a cross-cultural study, we investigated the link between explicit attitudes towards the hijab, and implicit measures of cultural and religious bias during the recognition of emotions. Participants tested in Austria (N = 71), and in Turkey (N = 70) reported their attitude towards the hijab, and categorised in a mousetracker task happy and sad faces of women, shown with five levels of intensity, and framed either by a hijab or by an oval-shaped mask. The two samples did not differ in their explicit attitudes towards the hijab. However, negative attitude towards the hijab predicted greater sadness attribution to happy faces with the hijab in Austrian participants. Unrelated to their explicit attitudes, Turkish participants attributed more sadness to happy faces with than without the hijab. Results suggest that the sight of the hijab activated, in both Austrian and Turkish participants, implicit biases resulting in associations with sadness and negative emotions.

The Relationship

This article presents a cross-cultural study on the mediating role of implicit theories of innovativeness in the relationship between basic values and specific attitudes toward innovation. Modernized samples (399 Russians from Moscow and Novokuznetsk) and more traditional samples (194 Chechens and Ingushs from North Caucasus and 200 Tuvins from the Tuva Republic) within the Russian Federation completed the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS), measures of attitudes toward innovation, and an Adjective Check List adapted for measuring implicit theories of innovativeness in the current samples. Main findings include (a) a split in individual and social aspects of implicit theories of innovativeness, (b) different mediation of the effects of Openness to Change and Conservation values, and (c) differences in mediation models between the two samples. Implications of these findings for cross-cultural studies on innovativeness are discussed.

Prejudice And Discrimination

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder of neurodevelopmental type that is frequently diagnosed in childhood. Today between 3% and 6% of Swedish schoolchildren are diagnosed with ADHD. Corresponding statistics about the number of Ukrainian children diagnosed with ADHD are not openly available. The purpose of this cross-cultural study is to investigate if there is a difference in attitudes between Ukraine (Kiev) and Sweden (Stockholm) towards ADHD diagnosed. During this study both primary and secondary research were conducted. The result of secondary research showed that there is a large stigma around ADHD diagnosis, therefore children suffering from ADHD are at high risk to be confronted with prejudice and discrimination. The primary research consisted of an opinion poll, that was answered by 40 parents with children in elementary school (aged 6-16), in each country. The poll consisted of different statements about a fictitious child X, diagnosed with ADHD, that a respondent had to take a stand to. When analyzing and compering the results of both respondent groups (Ukrainian group and Swedish group) it was possible to identify a correlation between missing knowledge and negative attitudes, a correlation proved by several earlier studies that are included in the secondary research. The result from the primary study showed that the attitude towards children with ADHD is more negative in Ukraine. The potential reason behind this result is primary the increased knowledge of the diagnosis in Sweden as well as the positive representation of ADHD in the Swedish media that contributes to a more tolerant and positive stance towards children with ADHD.The study also showed that views on discipline and corporal punishment of children differ between countries.In Ukraine, there are more people who believe that ADHD can be prevented with hard discipline, compared to Sweden.Thus, more negative attitude towards ADHD can be based on the view that the diagnosis is a result of poor upbringing.

Two Samples

Major findings of a trauma survey with two samples of adolescents (age 11-17) are presented. One was a sample of school children from Croatia screened for PTSD at the time of warfare in former Yugoslavia (N = 172). The control was a sample of peers from Hungary (N = 282), with no personal experience of any warfare in lifetime. Croatian and Hungarian versions of a self-administered screening instrument was used to measure perceptions of trauma and twelve symptoms of PTSD. The findings call attention to the fact that despite remarkable difference between the two groups in free listing of adverse life events, the levels of distress as measured with a series of PTSD symptom scales were found not that dramatic as one would expect. The following symptom scales were found with high average self-rating in both groups: Nearly equally high mean scores were estimated for both groups in the following symptom scales: 1, Anger, 2. Revenge, 3. Meaninglessness, 4. Fear,5. Powerlessness, in this order. The largest between groups difference was found in the “Hate” subscale on the behalf of the warfare sample (t = 8.46 df = 426 p < .0001). Alternative interpretations of the results are discussed.
