Comparative analysis of out-migration, based on a panel followed from 1968 to 1979, reveals substantial ethnic differentials. Part of the variation results from group compositional differences in social class and other characteristics normally related to migration, particularly age, education and local birth. Equally important, however, are indicators of social and economic bonds. These have been re-interpreted as mechanisms that promote ethnic cohesiveness. The results suggest that ethnic groups characterized by a dense network of social and economic ties do not sponsor out-migration, which has been the emphasis of many past studies of chain migration and migrant assimilation. Rather, they deter out-migration by providing alternative opportunities within the ethnic community.

<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Adaptasi dalam berinteraksi antar etnis menjadi suatu keharusan di kota yang heterogen dan multi etnis seperti Kota Batam. Upaya menjalin komunikasi antar etnis yang efektif dapat mendorong keharmonisan hubungan suatu masyarakat. Masyarakat etnis Tionghoa di Kota Batam masih memiliki stigma sebagai etnis pendatang, meskipun mereka sudah lama hidup di Indonesia. Catatan sejarah membuktikan bahwa hubungan antara etnis Tionghoa dengan berbagai etnis lain di Indonesia sudah terjalin sejak lama dan memberikan kontribusi yang cukup penting dalam kehidupan sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat khususnya di kota Batam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui fenomena perilaku komunikasi (verbal dan non verbal) antara etnis Tionghoa dengan etnis lainnya di kota Batam, serta perilaku komunikasi antar etnisnya. Pendekatan penelitian kualitatif interaktif dengan analisis fenomenologi dengan objek penelitian di lingkungan organisasi PSMTI dan BMTI kota Batam. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa perilaku komunikasi verbal antar pribadi masyarakat etnis Tionghoa di dalam lingkungan keluarga pada umumnya banyak menggunakan bahasa etnis masing-masing suku. Sementara penggunaan bahasa Indonesia digunakan untuk pendidikan anak serta sebagai pelengkap dan substitusi beberapa konteks bahasa yang tidak ditemukan padanannya dalam bahasa etnis. Di lingkungan organisasi baik PSMTI maupun BMTI, penggunaan bahasa Indonesia baik secara lisan maupun tertulis menjadi secara lebih dominan. Berbagai bentuk komunikasi non verbal masyarakat etnis Tionghoa, antara lain meliputi penggunaan simbol warna merah, artefak berupa bangunan rumah ibadah dan patung, bahasa tubuh seperti gerakan mengepalkan kedua tangan serta bentuk komunikasi non verbal lainnya.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>Adaptation in inter-ethnic interactions is a necessity in a heterogeneous and multi-ethnic city such as Batam City. Efforts to establish effective inter-ethnic communication can promote harmonious relations in a society. The Chinese ethnic community in Batam City still has the stigma of being an ethnic immigrant, even though they have lived in Indonesia for a long time. Historical records prove that the relationship between the Chinese ethnic group and various other ethnicities in Indonesia has been established for a long time and has made quite an important contribution to the social and economic life of the community, especially in the city of Batam. This study aims to determine the phenomenon of communication behavior (verbal and non-verbal) between ethnic Chinese and other ethnic groups in Batam city, as well as communication behavior between ethnic groups. An interactive qualitative research approach with phenomenological analysis with the object of research in the PSMTI and BMTI organizations in Batam City. The results showed that the interpersonal verbal communication behavior of the Chinese ethnic community in the family environment generally uses the ethnic languages of each tribe. Meanwhile, the use of Indonesian is used for children's education as well as as a complement and substitute for several language contexts where no equivalent is found in ethnic languages. In both PSMTI and BMTI organizations, the use of Indonesian both orally and in writing is becoming more dominant. Various forms of non-verbal communication for the Chinese ethnic community include the use of red symbols, artifacts in the form of houses of worship and statues, body language such as clenching fists and other forms of non-verbal communication.</em></p>

Scientific views on the processes of constructing ethnocultural self-identification in culturological discourse are researched and systematized. The concept of "ethnocultural self-identification" is specified, the basic conceptual approaches to research of ethnocultural self-identification are considered and analyzed. It is revealed that ethnocultural self-identification is determined by a complex set of factors: historical, social, economic, political, psychological and cultural. In modern culturological discourse, ethnocultural self-identification is seen mainly as the search for and discovery of traditional values in the context of everyday space. Despite the differences in the modern scientific dimension of approaches to the problem of ethnocultural self-identification, most researchers agree that this phenomenon is a complex process of identification with a particular ethnocultural group, assimilation of personality to a particular image, which occurs as an individual part of it and experiencing one's own devotion to it, not autonomously, but together with other processes of human activity (social, labor, political), in the process of communication and the context of everyday behavior. Constantly comparing their own actions and deeds with the norms and patterns of a particular ethnocultural group, the individual positions them as standards, criteria of behavior, self-reflection.The author concludes that ethnocultural self-identification is one of the most important human values, because fixing the unity of individual interests with the interests of its ethnic community ensures self-preservation as a person and as an individual, contributes to the needs of self-affirmation and self-expression

Using Data

Menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle, as humans are unique among primates in having a long post-fertile lifespan. One model proposes that intergenerational conflict in patrilocal populations favours female reproductive cessation. This model predicts that women should experience menopause earlier in groups with an evolutionary history of patrilocality compared with matrilocal groups. Using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey, we test this model at multiple timescales: deep historical time, comparing age at menopause in ancestrally patrilocal Chinese Indonesians with ancestrally matrilocal Austronesian Indonesians; more recent historical time, comparing age at menopause in ethnic groups with differing postmarital residence within Indonesia and finally, analysing age at menopause at an individual-level, assuming a woman facultatively adjusts her age at menopause based on her postmarital residence. We find a significant effect only at the intermediate timescale where, contrary to predictions, ethnic groups with a history of multilocal postnuptial residence (where couples choose where to live) have the slowest progression to menopause, whereas matrilocal and patrilocal ethnic groups have similar progression rates. Multilocal residence may reduce intergenerational conflicts between women, thus influencing reproductive behaviour, but our results provide no support for the female-dispersal model of intergenerational conflict as an explanation of menopause.

AbstractThis article is concerned with the social, economic, and cultural process of the folk artisanship among the ethnic minorities of Hungarians, Turks, and Croatians in contemporary Romania. Ethnographic information is provided on the peasant artisans' professional framework (private workshops), as well as on their crafts development under socialism and in times of market economy in Romania. Similarly considered are the craft traditions, the folk arts, and the ethnic representativeness of artisanship. Relevant categories of analysis are also paternity in crafts and the relationships that the craftsmen engage with the ethnographic museums and the national centers for the conservation of folk culture. Description and interpretation in this text contribute to the understanding of artisanship as complex and dynamic pattern of civilization among the minority ethnic groups in Romania.

The social well-being of people of different nationalities is considered as an important component of the ethno-social situation and the qualitative characteristics of the urban inter-ethnic community. Such a community is justified as a significant object of ethnic policy at the municipal level. Based on the generalization of the results of mass sociological polls conducted under the leadership of the author, the paper describes the social well-being of the population of Novosibirsk: the level of general well-being and degree of satisfaction with certain aspects of life, identity, state and dynamics of inter-ethnic relations, as they are seen by different ethnic groups. It records, on the one hand, the existence of favorable social well-being and a benevolent attitude of the majority of residents towards members of other ethnic groups and, on the other hand, certain anxieties related to the social status of residents and the development of inter-ethnic relations in recent years. The author also highlights the tasks of the municipal government that are solved by monitoring the social well-being of the urban inter-ethnic community.
