Despite Algeria’ rich cultural and ethnic diversity, research on these concepts, particularly within the educational context, is remarkably scarce. This study sought to examine the direct effects of National Identity (NI) on Ethnic Identity (EI) and Multiculturalism (M), as well as the indirect effect of NI on EI through M. To achieve this aim, the study employed the national identity questionnaire of Yuan and Li (2019), the ethnic identity questionnaire of Yuan and Li (2019), and the multiculturalism scale of Fuertes et al. (2000). The instruments were validated through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) before being administered to 467 English as foreign language (EFL) university students. The findings indicated non-significant direct effect of National Identity (NI) on students' Ethnic Identity (EI), whereas NI significantly impacted Multiculturalism (M). Furthermore, M significantly influenced students' EI and mediated an indirect effect of NI on EI. The results also revealed noticeable differences across gender, age, and academic level groups for NI and M. For EI, statistical differences were found across gender and level groups. Notably, all comparisons in NI, except for gender and level variables, were statistically significant. Additionally, EI and M identified significant differences between age and level, gender and age, gender and level so as the combined gender-age-level groups. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the research findings, the study outlines its limitations and highlights new directions for future research.

尽管阿尔及利亚拥有丰富的文化和民族多样性，但有关这些概念的研究，特别是在教育领域的研究，却少得可怜。本研究试图考察国家认同（NI）对民族认同（EI）和多元文化主义（M）的直接影响，以及国家认同通过多元文化主义对民族认同的间接影响。为实现这一目标，本研究采用了袁和李（2019）的国家认同问卷、袁和李（2019）的民族认同问卷，以及 Fuertes 等人（2000）的多元文化主义量表。在对467名英语为外语（EFL）的大学生进行问卷调查之前，这些问卷通过探索性因子分析（EFA）和确认性因子分析（CFA）进行了验证。研究结果表明，国家认同（NI）对学生民族认同（EI）的直接影响不明显，而国家认同对多元文化（M）的影响明显。此外，M 对学生的 EI 有明显影响，并在 NI 对 EI 的间接影响中起中介作用。结果还显示，在 NI 和 M 方面，不同性别、年龄和学业水平组之间存在明显差异。值得注意的是，除性别和水平变量外，所有 NI 的比较均具有统计学意义。此外，在 EI 和 M 中，年龄与水平、性别与年龄、性别与水平以及性别-年龄-水平合并组之间存在显著差异。为了全面了解研究结果，本研究概述了其局限性，并强调了未来研究的新方向。

This study explores the acculturative challenges faced by mainland Chinese students in Hong Kong and their active engagement in improving intercultural communication (IC) competence, which could propel the cross-cultural adaptation transition. By underpinning the concepts of acculturation expectations, intergroup ideologies, IC competence, and original cultural identity negotiation, this study navigates mainland Chinese students’ vivid stories regarding two primary domains: (a) acculturative challenges and IC gaps after arrival and (b) original cultural identity negotiation to promote IC competence in HK society. The findings and discussions promote scholarly conversations about linguistic and social media factors influencing acculturative stressors, intergroup ideologies, and identity negotiation to promote IC competence, which could be a secondary coping strategy. Overall, this study attempts to bridge knowledge gaps about the missing side of acculturation within the context of the Sino-Anglo cultural duet and beyond.

Reports have indicated an increase in anti-Jewish hostility and antisemitic incidents following the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza. In two studies (N_Study1 = 354 and N_Study2 = 490), we experimentally investigated the impact of priming with material referring to the war in Gaza on hostility toward Jews, and on antisemitism as well as other various ethnic groups (to determine whether this exposure specifically affected attitudes toward Jews or had a broader impact on ethnic attitudes in general). We also examined the indirect relationship between political orientation and anti-Jewish hostility and antisemitism, through sociopolitical factors such as global identification, out-group identity fusion, social dominance orientation, and misanthropy. Our results showed an experimental effect of increased negative attitudes toward Jews, as well as toward Britons and Scandinavians, but did not reveal an increase in antisemitism. This effect was not replicated in Study 2, possibly due to reduced media attention. The indirect effects suggested that political orientation (left vs. right-wing) was positively associated with anti-Jewish hostility and antisemitism through social dominance orientation. In contrast, conservative political orientation was negatively associated with antisemitism through out-group identity fusion with the Palestinian people. Our findings imply two distinct political pathways to antisemitism: one linked with classical political right-wing orientation and the other to a complex identity-based conflation of attitudes toward Israel with prejudice toward the Jewish ethnic group.

Our study, conducted among refugees and Ugandans in Uganda's Rhino Camp refugee settlement, comprehensively explored the relationships between satisfaction of basic psychological needs and psychological well-being. Two hundred fifty refugees and Ugandans each participated. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings revealed significant associations between refugees' psychological well-being and the fulfillment of autonomy needs. The well-being of host country nationals was tied to the satisfaction of autonomy and relatedness. Notably, the fulfillment of competence needs did not affect the well-being of either group. However, a self-generated formative index assessing adjustment emerged as a predictor of well-being among refugees and locals.

This study explored the role of Hallyu (the Korean Wave) in the cross-cultural adjustment of English-speaking expatriates in Korea. Through a series of semi-structured focus group interviews with 19 participants, this research examined how prior experience with Korean popular culture affects the expectations, preparedness, and adaptation processes of expatriates, drawing on cross-cultural adaptation and cultural fusion theory. Findings indicated that participants with prior Hallyu experience demonstrated a better understanding of social customs and basic language skills, contributing to their confidence and competence in daily tasks. However, despite the initial advantages, Hallyu exposure alone was insufficient to overcome long-term challenges such as discrimination, legal issues, and the feeling of being an outsider. This research bridges the fields of intercultural communication and expatriate studies, highlighting the potential of mass media as a tool for anticipatory adjustment in international relocations.

The mental health status of university students is a global concern. This study investigated the mental health and wellbeing of university students in Australia, with a focus on identifying potential differences between domestic and international tertiary students. It was hypothesized that international students would experience greater mental health challenges compared to domestic students. Building on previous research predominantly centered on domestic students, a diverse sample of 838 university students (M_age = 23.0, SD = 5.4; 69 % female) was recruited. The results indicated a significant prevalence (44.1 % and 93.3 %, respectively) of moderate to severe levels of psychological distress and moderate to high levels of loneliness among the sampled population. It was found that mental health outcomes were comparatively more favorable for Chinese international students than both domestic students and international students from other countries. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the specific mental health challenges that different student populations face.

大学生的心理健康状况是一个全球关注的问题。本研究调查了澳大利亚大学生的心理健康和幸福感，重点是确定国内大学生和国际大学生之间的潜在差异。研究假设，与国内学生相比，国际学生将面临更大的心理健康挑战。在以往主要以国内学生为中心的研究基础上，我们招募了 838 名大学生（年龄 = 23.0，标准差 = 5.4；69% 为女性）作为样本。研究结果表明，在抽样人群中，中度至重度心理困扰和中度至重度孤独感的发生率较高（分别为 44.1% 和 93.3%）。研究发现，与国内学生和来自其他国家的留学生相比，中国留学生的心理健康状况相对较好。这些发现强调了有必要采取有针对性的干预措施，以应对不同学生群体所面临的特定心理健康挑战。

This study aims to develop a brief scale for measuring the intercultural business competence (IBC) of tertiary students majoring in international trade, based on the theoretical model proposed by Johnson et al. (2006). Qualitative and quantitative data sources were utilized to develop and validate the IBC scale. Feedback from the pilot-test participants and content experts was used for face and content validity analyses. The main study data (n = 754) were used in the reliability and construct validity analyses via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlational analysis. After a series of reliability and validity analyses, a 16-item IBC scale was established, with four factors extracted: business adaptation, intercultural communicative confidence, antecedents, and cultural distance. This study provides empirical support for measuring and cultivating students’ IBC based on measurement results.

Cultural intelligence (CQ) plays a crucial role in enabling individuals to operate and interact effectively in a variety of multicultural environments. In this paper, we examine how prior intercultural exposure and personality factors shape the development of CQ during international student mobility. Two waves of data were collected from 549 engineering students over a nine-month period. Measures included the eleven subdimensions of expanded cultural intelligence (E-CQ), information on prior intercultural exposure (migration background, prior residence abroad, and number of countries visited), personality factors (openness and extraversion), and gender. Results from latent change score models revealed that nine of the eleven subdimensions of E-CQ increased significantly following international mobility. Students with lower initial E-CQ levels demonstrated greater growth compared to their peers with higher initial E-CQ levels. Openness and extraversion were positively associated with higher initial levels of metacognitive, cognitive, and motivational CQ but were related to smaller gains in motivational CQ (self-efficacy) and behavioral CQ (speech acts). Prior intercultural exposure was associated with higher initial E-CQ levels but was generally related to lower CQ growth, except for metacognitive CQ (planning). Our results show that international mobility significantly enhances CQ, with the most significant improvements observed among students with lower levels of openness, extraversion, or prior intercultural exposure. They highlight the importance of designing mobility programs that foster CQ while taking into account different levels of prior intercultural exposure.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing social inequalities, exposing the most disadvantaged sectors to great vulnerability. This research (N = 1844 employees) aimed to determine possible differences in general (satisfaction with life and personal well-being) and specific (family satisfaction and job satisfaction) well-being outcomes based on socioeconomic status (as measured by income, education, and occupation) in the aftermath of the COVID-19 in Chile, a non-WEIRD country showing one of the most unequal income distributions throughout the world. We also ascertained the critical mediating role of work-family conflict. Our results indicated that, among the different dimensions of socioeconomic status evaluated, income emerged as the dominant positive predictor of all well-being outcomes. Subsequent mediation analyses revealed that lower income was associated with diminished general and specific well-being through increased work-family conflict (both work-to-family and family-to-work). This research provides insights into the pathways through which lower socioeconomic status could lead to reduced well-being in the aftermath of the COVID-19 era within a high inequality community.

Intercultural interactions are emotionally charged activities. Despite a recent increase in research on emotions in several fields, emotions have not yet been given a central place in intercultural studies and there lacks a conceptualization of the affective dimension of intercultural competence. Combining a bibliometric analysis and a narrative analysis to review a sample of 545 English articles published between 1987 and 2023 from the Web of Science database using keyword search of “emotion”-related words and “intercultural”, this study identified the developmental phases of the study area which we name “intercultural emotion studies”, theoretical approaches to emotions, specific emotions studied, hot topics and thematic evolution, aiming to provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of studies related to both emotions and intercultural issues, a foundation for future theorization and empirical work on affective intercultural competence.
