Research Gap

Accumulating empirical evidence suggests that anger elicited in one situation can influence trust behaviors in another situation. However, the conditions under which anger influences trust are still unclear. The present study addresses this research gap and examines the ways in which anger influences trust. We hypothesized that the social distance to the trustee, and the trusting person’s gender would moderate the effect of anger on trust. To test this hypothesis, a study using a 2 (Anger vs. Control) × 2 (Low vs. High social distance) × 2 (Men vs. Women) factorial design was conducted in Germany (N = 215) and in China (N = 310). Results reveal that in both countries men’s trust behavior was not influenced by the manipulations (i.e., anger and social distance). The pattern for women, however, differed by country. In Germany, women’s trust to a stranger (i.e., high social distance) was increased by anger; while in China, women’s trust to someone who they have communicated with (i.e., low social distance) was increased by anger. These results indicate that women’s trust levels seem to be more context-sensitive than men’s.

The Impact

The paper addresses the issue of the nature and determinants of variations between countries in the severity of the implications of unemployment for psychological well-being. It focuses on ten countries in the European Union over the period 1983 to 1994. It establishes that there are consistent differences between countries over time. It then examines a number of potential explanations, in particular relating to the level of unemployment, the social composition of unemployment, the strength of the work ethic in the society and the characteristics of welfare institutions. It concludes that such differences cannot be accounted for in terms of the level of unemployment or its composition in terms of age and sex. They are also unrelated to measures of employment commitment. Rather the severity of the impact of unemployment has to be understood in terms of the interaction between the characteristics of the welfare regime and the composition of the unemployed with respect to household position.

The research featured a cross-cultural comparison of personal and ethnic identity in university students in the conditions of multicultural educational environment. The study involved 141 students: 48 Russians, 45 students from various European countries, and 48 Chinese students. The psychodiagnostic research methods included the questionnaire "Who Am I?" by M. Kuhn and T. McPartland as modified by T. V. Rumyantseva and the questionnaire "Types of ethnic identity" by G. U. Soldatova, S. V. Ryzhova. The research revealed common and specific features of personal and ethnic identity of each group. The importance of reflection and identification of one’s own educational and professional role position were present in the structure of personal identity of every group. As for the structure of ethnic identity, all groups demonstrated an increased level of positive ethnic identity and an average level of ethnic indifference. In the content of personal identity of Russian students, the Social Self (profession, family), the Perspective Self, and the Reflective Self were more pronounced in contrast with other groups. The European students showed a greater manifestation of ethnic nihilism. The Chinese students demonstrated a greater hyperidentity. In each test group, the authors established two types that differed in the specifics of the relationship between personal and ethnic identity. The results can improve the psychological support of students in the process of their self-identification in the conditions of multicultural educational environment.

The Relationship

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.
