The importance of the situational context in producing discriminatory behavior cannot he overlooked. This experiment on laboratory aggression investigated the effect of racial attitudes on the willingness to shock a black victim. A second purpose was to compare two groups in the shock levels administered to a black or a white victim. The results showed that attitudes toward blacks are not related to the level of shock administered to blacks. A black victim is shocked less than a white victim. This discriminatory behavior can be understood as a function of the social pressures of the university community as influenced, for example, by the affirmative action programs.

  El perfil de la radio universitaria se define en gran parte a raíz de los contenidos de la programación, que constituye el espíritu de cada una de estas emisoras. La radio universitaria es opuesta a los contenidos de la radio comercial, porque tiene objetivos muy diferentes. Su propósito está relacionado con la educación, la cultura, la ciencia, la tecnología y el interés social. En este contexto, la Universidad Técnica de Manabí cuenta con una radio modalidad on line, que transmite una programación variada con contenidos académicos orientada a la comunidad universitaria. Por este medio los estudiantes de Nivelación cursan materias como Desarrollo y Habilidades del Pensamiento. En este texto se indaga en la forma en que por medio de la radia universitaria se fortalecen conocimientos propios de esta asignatura y los resultados que se obtienen con los estudiantes que empiezan sus estudios superiores.   Palabras clave: radio universitaria; educación; cultura, ciencia; pensamiento.   Abstract The profile of the university radio is defined largely immediately after the contents of the programming, which constitutes the spirit of each one of these issuers. The university radio is opposite to the contents of the commercial radio, because it has very different aims. His intention is related to the education, the culture, the science, the technology and the social interest. In this context, Manabí's Technical University possesses a radio on-line modality, which transmits a programming changed with academic contents orientated to the university community. For this way the students of Leveling deal matters as Development and Skills of the Thought. In this text it is investigated in the form in which by means of her university student removes there fortify own knowledge of this subject and the results that are obtained by the students who begin his top studies.   Keywords: University radio; education; culture, science; thought.

The Situational Attitude Scale (SAS) was developed to measure the attitudes of whites toward blacks. Each of two forms contained the same situations, bipolar scales and instructions, except that the word “black” was inserted into each situation in Form B and Form A made no reference to race. The SAS was administered to 405 white students at the University of Maryland. Forms were distributed randomly and Ss were unaware that two forms were administered. The validity of the SAS was determined by the mean response difference between Form A and Form B, using t tests. Fifty-five of the 100 items were significant beyond the .05 level. Thus, there was strong evidence that the insertion of the word “black” into each situation caused Ss to respond differently.

The article discusses questions of identity narratives emerging from the responses collected from Polish university students with disabilities to be analyzed by the author. The social image of persons with disabilities, to a large extent shaped by media, is simplified. Stereotypically, images of persons with disabilities function in the antinomy “victim” – “hero,” always weaved around disability as the organizing category. Also the university community seems to be prone to succumb to stereotypes and perceive students with disabilities more through the perspective of their disabilities than through their “studentship.” Whereas a different image of the students’ identity emerges from their own narrative. The image is built around the “normality” discourse. Students with disabilities see themselves the way they want to be viewed – as regular students.

Recently the Indonesian press has paid increased attention to reports or rumours of the use of sorcery by various people in order to gain or to hold onto official positions, or to influence others who hold such positions. This paper examines rumours concerning these practices in an Indonesian university, considering them both in the context of Javanese cosmological and magical beliefs, and within the social and economic realities of the university community. The conclusion is that whether or not magical attacks actually take place, preventative measures give people a feeling of safety and perhaps smooth the path to success.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), an emerging viral infection, is impacting the social, economic and political patterns of the world. To contain the spread of this pandemic, Nigeria like many countries globally, has imposed drastic preventive measures such as physical distancing and lockdown/curfew. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and perception (KAP) about COVID-19 among members of staff of a university community in southwest, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey using an anonymous, self-designed, online KAP questionnaire was conducted from April 18 to May 31, 2020. Purposive and chain referral sampling techniques were used to recruit respondents from the teaching and non-teaching categories of the university. The KAP questionnaire consisted of ten knowledge questions regarding the identification of clinical characteristics, transmission and prevention of COVID-19. The questions on attitude (15) and perception (10) assessed respondents on adherence to policies and their views on government efforts to contain the spread of the infection respectively. A total of 125 (teaching) and 102 (non-teaching) staff responded. The respondents had scientific (78.8 %) and non-scientific (28.2 %) work background. Approximately 59.1 % of the respondents were males. The mean knowledge and positive attitude levels were 70.8 % (SD ± 9.6 %) and 83.1 % (SD ± 13.07 %) respectively. Significant differences in the knowledge mean scores were observed for demographic categories such as educational qualification (p = 0.0006), staff work category (p = <0.0001), work background (p = <0.0001), and type of lockdown (p = 0.0271). Most of the respondents (85.3 %) opined that COVID-19 was a biological weapon and viewed the lockdown as necessary (81.5 %). However, they thought that the Nigerian government was not doing enough to mitigate COVID-19 spread. The perception of COVID-19 in the university community bear implications across public health initiatives, compliance with precautionary behaviour and bilateral relations with foreign nations.

It is based on a research about the inclusion of disabled students at Universidad Veracruzana, which had as its main purpose to analyze the social representation of the university community about people with disabilities and their inclusion to the university. The results of an applied survey whose purpose was to investigate the social representations of the university community about students with disabilities and how their human rights are being respected or not are presented in this work. The findings point out a positive representation regarding the university inclusion of the students with disabilities; however, there is latent discrimination in the absence of the minimum accessibility concerned. However, as a result of the absence of the minimum accessibility requirements, there exists a latent discrimination. Recibido: 11 de julio de 2015 Aceptado: 25 de febrero de 2016

When interacting on a learning task, which is typical of several academic situations, individuals may experience two different motives: Understanding the problem, or showing their competences. When a conflict (confrontation of divergent propositions) emerges from this interaction, it can be solved either in an epistemic way (focused on the task) or in a relational way (focused on the social comparison of competences). The latter is believed to be detrimental for learning. Moreover, research on cooperative learning shows that when they share identical information, partners are led to compare to each other, and are less encouraged to cooperate than when they share complementary information. An epistemic vs. relational conflict vs. no conflict was provoked in dyads composed by a participant and a confederate, working either on identical or on complementary information (N = 122). Results showed that, if relational and epistemic conflicts both entailed more perceived interactions and divergence than the control group, only relational conflict entailed more perceived comparison activities and a less positive relationship than the control group. Epistemic conflict resulted in a more positive perceived relationship than the control group. As far as performance is concerned, relational conflict led to a worse learning than epistemic conflict, and - after a delay - than the control group. An interaction between the two variables on delayed performance showed that epistemic and relational conflicts were different only when working with complementary information. This study shows the importance of the quality of relationship when sharing information during cooperative learning, a crucial factor to be taken into account when planning educational settings at the university.
