The media are widely regarded as critical in shaping ethnic majority attitudes toward ethnic minorities. Yet despite this presumed influence, the mechanisms underlying this influence remain insufficiently understood. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes existing research, identifying three key empirical pathways through which media are thought to operate: salience (prominence of information about ethnic minorities), valence (ranging from negative to positive evaluations of ethnic minorities), and consumption (the overall volume of media exposure). We further examine moderators specific to valence, namely sign (positive versus negative) and source (evaluation by ethnic majority ingroup or ethnic minority outgroup), as well moderators applying across all three pathways: media type (traditional versus social/online) and format (viewing versus reading). Our meta-analysis encompasses 1587 effect sizes from 155 articles published between 2010 and 2022, representing approximately 350,000 respondents. We find that media salience has a weak positive relationship with negative ethnic majority attitudes toward immigration, but not with attitudes toward ethnic minorities themselves. Media valence shows a weak positive relationship with attitudes, with smaller effects for positive valence on positive attitudes and larger effects for negative valence on negative attitudes. Moreover, valence shows a positive relationship with attitudes when the evaluation originates from ethnic out-groups, but no relationship when it originates from ethnic in-groups. Finally, we find no evidence of a significant relationship between media consumption and attitudes. We conclude by identifying critical gaps in the literature and by advocating for an integrative approach that considers how salience, valence, and consumption interrelate in shaping ethnic majority attitudes toward ethnic minorities.

人们普遍认为，媒体在塑造多数民族对少数民族的态度方面起着关键作用。然而，尽管存在这种假定的影响，但这种影响背后的机制仍然没有得到充分的了解。这项系统回顾和荟萃分析综合了现有的研究，确定了媒体被认为运作的三个关键经验途径：显著性（关于少数民族的信息的突出性）、效价（对少数民族的负面到正面评价）和消费（媒体曝光的总量）。我们进一步研究了特定于效价的调节因子，即符号（积极与消极）和来源（多数族群内或少数族群外群体的评价），以及所有三种途径的调节因子：媒体类型（传统与社交/在线）和格式（观看与阅读）。我们的荟萃分析涵盖了2010年至2022年间发表的155篇文章的1587个效应量，代表了大约35万名受访者。我们发现，媒体突出性与多数族裔对移民的负面态度存在微弱的正相关关系，但与对少数族裔本身的态度无关。媒介效价与态度呈弱正相关，正效价对积极态度的影响较小，负效价对消极态度的影响较大。此外，当评价来自外群体时，效价与态度呈正相关，而当评价来自内群体时，效价与态度无相关。最后，我们没有发现媒体消费和态度之间有显著关系的证据。最后，我们确定了文献中的关键空白，并倡导了一种综合方法，该方法考虑了突出性、价态和消费在塑造多数民族对少数民族的态度方面是如何相互关联的。

This study examines whether general self-efficacy and student-university match mediate the relationship between international students’ perceived discrimination and social connectedness and their well-being. A total of 350 international students (64 % female) participated in this study. The data analysis used the bootstrapping technique to perform parallel multiple mediation analysis. The findings indicate that perceived discrimination and social connectedness directly affect mental well-being and mental affect well-being through the mediation effects of general self-efficacy and student-university match variables. Since the direct and mediation effects are significant and in the same direction, there is complementary mediation in these two models. The findings contributed to the literature on the relationship between discrimination, social connectedness, and mental well-being among international students. The results underscore the importance of creating inclusive and supportive settings in higher education to improve the mental well-being of international students.

本研究旨在探讨一般自我效能感和校际匹配是否在国际学生歧视知觉、社会连通性和幸福感之间起到中介作用。共有350名国际学生（64% %为女性）参与了这项研究。数据分析使用自举技术执行并行多中介分析。研究结果表明，感知歧视和社会联系通过一般自我效能感和校际匹配变量的中介作用直接影响心理幸福感和心理影响幸福感。由于直接效应和中介效应显著且方向一致，因此两种模型存在互补中介作用。这些发现为研究歧视、社会联系和国际学生心理健康之间关系的文献做出了贡献。研究结果强调了在高等教育中创造包容性和支持性环境对改善国际学生心理健康的重要性。

Although Asian American (AA) college students tend to exhibit lower prevalence of heavy alcohol use compared to other racial/ethnic groups, excessive alcohol consumption within this population occurs. It has been suggested that U.S. acculturation may be associated with both alcohol use and negative alcohol consequences. Theory and research with other ethnic groups point to the importance of drinking motives in influencing alcohol consumption and consequences. However, the extent to which acculturation is associated with drinking behaviors, particularly when examined simultaneously with drinking motives in a multivariate context has not been delineated among AA college students. Using multivariate modeling techniques with a multisite sample of AA college student drinkers (n = 243), we tested how specific acculturation domains (cultural practices/identity) and drinking motives were associated with alcohol use and negative drinking consequences. Results indicated that higher endorsement of heritage cultural practices was related to less alcohol use but more negative alcohol consequences. These associations remained significant after accounting for drinking motives and known demographic predictors of alcohol use. Higher endorsement of enhancement motives was associated with elevated alcohol use while higher coping-depression motives were related to negative alcohol consequences. Overall, our findings suggest that heritage cultural practice aspects of acculturation are a protective factor against increased alcohol use that may also be a risk factor for negative alcohol consequences among AA students. Further work within AA college student samples and various racial/ethnic groups is recommended to examine the extent to which certain acculturation domains may exert contradictory effects on alcohol consumption and associated consequences.

虽然与其他种族/民族相比，亚裔美国人（AA）大学生倾向于表现出较低的酗酒患病率，但在这一人群中存在过度饮酒的现象。有人认为，美国文化的适应可能与饮酒和酒精的负面后果有关。与其他种族群体的理论和研究指出了饮酒动机在影响酒精消费和后果方面的重要性。然而，文化适应在多大程度上与饮酒行为有关，特别是在多元背景下与饮酒动机同时进行研究时，还没有在AA大学生中进行描述。我们使用多元建模技术对AA大学生饮酒者（n = 243）的多地点样本进行了测试，测试了特定的文化适应域（文化实践/身份）和饮酒动机如何与酒精使用和负面饮酒后果相关联。结果表明，对传统文化习俗的高度认可与较少饮酒有关，但与更多的负面酒精后果有关。在考虑了饮酒动机和已知的酒精使用的人口预测因素后，这些关联仍然很重要。对增强动机的更高认可与酒精使用的增加有关，而更高的应对抑郁动机与酒精的负面后果有关。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，文化适应的传统文化实践方面是防止酒精使用增加的保护因素，这也可能是AA学生负面酒精后果的风险因素。建议在AA大学生样本和不同种族/民族群体中进一步开展工作，以检查某些文化适应域可能在多大程度上对酒精消费及其相关后果产生矛盾影响。

With the increase in international immigration for the purposes of overseas assignments and study abroad, emotional intelligence (EQ) and cultural intelligence (CQ), which are known as predictors of cross-cultural adjustment, are receiving increasing attention. However, very few studies have used both, especially their aspects, simultaneously, so the relationship between them is unclear. Considering that CQ is a capability mainly enhanced in cross-cultural environments, while EQ is an ability that can be strengthened in domestic environments, it makes sense to consider EQ as a predictor of CQ and analyze the relationship between the two. In this study, structural equation modeling analysis using data on the attitudes of 184 expatriates working for Japanese subsidiaries in the United States and East Asian countries revealed significant positive correlations between Others' Emotional Appraisal EQ and Motivational CQ and Behavioral CQ, between Self-Emotional Appraisal EQ and Metacognitive CQ, and between Use of Emotion EQ and Regulation of Emotion EQ and Motivational CQ. This is the first study to clarify the relationship between EQ and CQ facets. The results of this study may be useful for developing future training and selection methods, predicting what CQ people with a specific EQ are likely to improve, or for considering what EQ should be improved to improve the specific CQ required in the field.

随着以海外派遣和留学为目的的国际移民的增加，被称为跨文化适应预测指标的情绪智力（EQ）和文化智力（CQ）越来越受到关注。然而，很少有研究同时使用两者，特别是它们的各个方面，因此它们之间的关系尚不清楚。鉴于文化智商是一种主要在跨文化环境中增强的能力，而情商是一种可以在国内环境中加强的能力，因此将情商视为文化智商的预测因子并分析两者之间的关系是有意义的。本研究采用结构方程模型分析了184名日本驻美国和东亚分公司外籍员工的态度数据，发现他人情绪评价情商与动机型文商、行为型文商、自我情绪评价情商与元认知型文商、情绪情商运用与情绪情商调节、动机型文商之间存在显著正相关。这是第一个阐明情商和CQ之间关系的研究。本研究的结果可能有助于制定未来的培训和选拔方法，预测具有特定情商的CQ人可能会提高哪些情商，或者考虑应该提高哪些情商以提高该领域所需的特定CQ。

“You tell yourself, what do I know?”: Cultural competence in social service delivery with the Ethiopian community in Israel “你告诉你自己，我知道什么？：向以色列埃塞俄比亚社区提供社会服务的文化能力

Social service delivery to families from minority communities presents significant challenges in providing culturally competent care, particularly in sensitive contexts such as Planning, Intervention, and Evaluation Committees (PIECs). These committees address critical family matters, including risk assessments and out-of-home placement decisions, requiring a profound understanding of diverse cultural norms, perspectives, and practices. Research has indicated that social services often struggle to effectively integrate cultural considerations into their interventions, potentially undermining service quality and family engagement. The present study examined how social service professionals in PIECs navigate cultural differences when working with Ethiopian-Israeli families, exploring the challenges and adaptations required for culturally competent practice. A thematic analysis was conducted on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 15 social workers in Israel who participate regularly in PIECs regarding children and their families from the Ethiopian community in Israel. The findings revealed several key cultural domains that shape service delivery and require careful consideration in social work practice, including patriarchal values, use of corporal punishment, embodied bonds, and differing communication styles. These findings highlight the need to build foundational knowledge of cultural competence, improve training programs for social service providers, develop culturally informed strategies, and ensure that practice and service delivery are inclusive and respectful of the cultural identities of minority communities.

向来自少数族裔社区的家庭提供社会服务在提供符合文化要求的护理方面面临重大挑战，特别是在诸如规划、干预和评估委员会（PIECs）等敏感环境中。这些委员会处理关键的家庭事务，包括风险评估和家庭外安置决定，需要深刻理解不同的文化规范、观点和实践。研究表明，社会服务往往难以有效地将文化因素纳入其干预措施，这可能会破坏服务质量和家庭参与。本研究考察了PIECs的社会服务专业人员在与埃塞俄比亚-以色列家庭合作时如何处理文化差异，探索文化胜任实践所需的挑战和适应。对以色列15名社会工作者进行了半结构化的深入访谈，进行了专题分析，这些社会工作者定期参加关于以色列埃塞俄比亚社区儿童及其家庭的PIECs。研究结果揭示了影响服务提供的几个关键文化领域，这些领域需要在社会工作实践中仔细考虑，包括父权价值观、体罚的使用、具体化的纽带和不同的沟通风格。这些发现强调了建立文化能力基础知识、改进社会服务提供者培训计划、制定文化知情战略、确保实践和服务提供具有包容性并尊重少数民族社区文化认同的必要性。

Amid growing concerns over rising religious tensions and anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe, this study develops and validates a robust Islamophobia Index to systematically measure experiences of discrimination among Muslim communities. Leveraging survey data from 3598 respondents (including 466 Muslims) across Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Italy, confirmatory factor analysis validated a three-factor structure for the Islamophobia Index, comprising Experiential Violence, Perceived Negativity, and Global Event Impacts. The index demonstrated metric invariance across Belgium, Germany, and Spain (N = 444 analysis sample), supporting its utility for cross-national comparisons. Regression analyses indicate systemic exclusion; perceived global event impacts emerged as a significant statistical predictor of both experiential violence and perceived negativity. Experiences were also found to vary with demographic factors such as age and income in certain models. While specific hypothesised intersectional effects (e.g., gender with religious identification) were not statistically significant in the tested models, the research illustrates the value of considering compounded vulnerabilities. The validated three-factor Islamophobia Index provides a nuanced quantitative measure capable of capturing both overt prejudice and perceptions of structural discrimination. By bridging critical theory with empirical rigour, this research points to the need for transnational, intersectional policy frameworks to dismantle institutionalised religious marginalisation and foster inclusive societies across Europe.

在欧洲日益增长的对宗教紧张局势和反穆斯林情绪的担忧中，本研究开发并验证了一个强大的伊斯兰恐惧症指数，以系统地衡量穆斯林社区之间的歧视经历。利用来自比利时、德国、西班牙和意大利的3598名受访者（包括466名穆斯林）的调查数据，验证性因素分析验证了伊斯兰恐惧症指数的三因素结构，包括体验暴力、感知消极和全球事件影响。该指数证明了比利时、德国和西班牙之间的度量不变性（N = 444个分析样本），支持其用于跨国比较的效用。回归分析表明存在系统性排斥；感知到的全球事件影响成为体验性暴力和感知到的消极情绪的重要统计预测因子。研究还发现，在某些模型中，经验会随着年龄和收入等人口因素而变化。虽然在测试的模型中，特定的假设交叉效应（例如，性别与宗教认同）在统计上并不显著，但研究说明了考虑复合脆弱性的价值。经过验证的三因素伊斯兰恐惧症指数提供了一种细致入微的定量衡量，能够捕捉到公开的偏见和对结构性歧视的看法。通过将批判理论与严谨的经验联系起来，本研究指出，需要建立跨国的、交叉的政策框架，以消除制度化的宗教边缘化，并在整个欧洲培育包容性社会。

Social connectedness and isolation among East Asian international students: An integrative review of mental health implications 东亚国际学生的社会联系和孤立：心理健康影响的综合评价

This integrative review examines how social connectedness and isolation influence the mental health of East Asian international students in culturally specific ways. While international student well-being has received growing attention, few studies have focused on the emotional, cultural, and institutional dimensions of relational experiences. Drawing on 15 empirical studies published between 2010 and 2025, this review follows Whittemore and Knafl’s integrative methodology and adheres to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Thematic synthesis revealed four interrelated domains: (1) dimensions of social connectedness, (2) cultural norms and emotional inaccessibility, (3) family expectations and internalized restraint, and (4) coping strategies and resilience pathways. The findings indicate that East Asian students’ psychological well-being is shaped less by the number of social ties and more by their emotional quality, cultural congruence, and institutional accessibility.

这篇综合综述探讨了社会联系和孤立如何以文化特定的方式影响东亚国际学生的心理健康。虽然国际学生的幸福感受到越来越多的关注，但很少有研究关注关系体验的情感、文化和制度层面。本综述借鉴了2010年至2025年间发表的15项实证研究，遵循Whittemore和Knafl的综合方法，并遵循PRISMA 2020指南。主题综合揭示了四个相互关联的领域：(1)社会联系维度；(2)文化规范和情感不可达性维度；(3)家庭期望和内化约束维度；(4)应对策略和恢复途径。研究结果表明，东亚学生的心理健康较少受到社会关系数量的影响，而更多地受到情感质量、文化一致性和机构可及性的影响。由于耻辱、人际规范和对正式支持的不信任，许多学生保持着频繁但情感上肤浅的联系。本综述的重点是在美国、英国和澳大利亚的大学和四年制学院就读的本科生和研究生。文化规范不鼓励情感表露，而家庭压力则强化了沉默。非正式和文化上熟悉的策略被广泛使用，但并不总是足以解决更深层次的心理困扰。这些模式表明需要强调情感可及性、文化一致性和制度信任的精神卫生服务。本综述提供了一个基于文化的框架，为日益国际化的学术背景下的支持实践提供信息。

Normative emotional patterns vary across cultures, and emotional fit with a cultural norm is linked to well-being. Immigrant-origin minority adolescents often navigate multiple cultural contexts, such as school and home, where emotional patterns may differ. In a daily diary study, we examined whether minority adolescents exhibited context-congruent emotional fit – dynamically aligning their emotional experiences with the pertinent cultural norms of each context – and how context-congruent fit relates to well-being in positive and negative situations. Surprisingly, adolescents’ emotional fit with both minority and majority norms was consistently higher at home than at school, providing only partial support for context-congruent emotional fit. Additionally, context-congruent emotional fit was positively associated with well-being in positive situations but negatively in negative situations. These findings suggest that immigrant-origin adolescents’ well-being depends on both emotional fit and situational valence, underscoring that their daily emotional lives reflect complex cultural dynamics rather than a simple minority-majority dichotomy.

规范的情感模式因文化而异，与文化规范的情感契合与幸福感有关。移民出身的少数族裔青少年经常在多种文化背景下游移自如，比如学校和家庭，这些文化背景下的情感模式可能不同。在一项日常日记研究中，我们研究了少数民族青少年是否表现出情境一致的情感契合——动态地将他们的情感体验与每个情境的相关文化规范相一致——以及情境一致契合如何与积极和消极情境中的幸福感相关。令人惊讶的是，青少年对少数群体和多数群体规范的情绪契合度在家庭中始终高于在学校，这只提供了部分支持情境一致的情绪契合度。此外，情境一致性情绪契合在积极情境下与幸福感呈正相关，在消极情境下与幸福感呈负相关。这些发现表明，移民青少年的幸福感取决于情绪契合度和情境效价，强调他们的日常情绪生活反映了复杂的文化动态，而不是简单的少数-多数二分法。

With the growing number of Chinese students in the UK, their psychological adaptation has received significant attention. While previous studies highlighted the positive effects of social support and intercultural competence (ICC) on psychological adaptation, most have focused on bivariate relationships, overlooking the interaction between the three variables. This study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the complex relationships between social support, ICC, and psychological adaptation, with a particular emphasis on the mediating role of ICC. Data from 523 Chinese students in the UK were analyzed to assess both direct and mediating effects. The findings reveal that knowledge of self, knowledge of others, attitudes, communicative skills, and cognitive skills significantly mediate the relationship between social support and psychological adaptation. However, awareness was not found to be a significant mediator in this relationship. By exploring the mediating effects of multiple dimensions of ICC between social support and psychological adaptation, this study clarifies the mechanism of psychological adaptation among Chinese students in the UK.

随着中国留学生在英国的人数不断增加，他们的心理适应受到了极大的关注。虽然以往的研究强调了社会支持和跨文化能力（ICC）对心理适应的积极影响，但大多数研究都集中在双变量关系上，忽视了这三个变量之间的相互作用。本研究采用结构方程模型（SEM）探讨了社会支持、心理适应与心理适应之间的复杂关系，并重点研究了心理适应在社会支持、心理适应与心理适应之间的中介作用。研究人员分析了523名在英中国学生的数据，以评估直接效应和中介效应。研究发现，自我认知、他人认知、态度、沟通技能和认知技能在社会支持与心理适应之间具有显著的中介作用。然而，在这一关系中，意识并不是一个重要的中介。本研究通过探索ICC在社会支持与心理适应之间的多个维度的中介作用，阐明留英中国留学生的心理适应机制。

Activation of the culture-transmission motive in immigrants: A factorial survey experiment 移民文化传播动机的激活：一个析因调查实验

According to the theory of cultural transmission in minorities (Mchitarjan & Reisenzein, 2014a), sociocultural groups desire to maintain their cultural system and transmit it to the next generation. We report a factorial survey experiment that tested a central assumption of the theory: The culture-transmission motive is activated by perceived threats to cultural transmission and motivates pedagogical actions designed to cope with those threats. Young adults imagined that they decided to emigrate to a fictitious country with their partner and child. The degree of threat to cultural transmission was manipulated by varying the description of the immigration country on six dimensions representing favorable or unfavorable conditions for cultural transmission, while the strength of the participants’ culture-transmission motive was measured. As predicted, (1) obstacles to cultural transmission (e.g., different values and norms) increased participants’ anxiety about losing the culture of origin and their intentions (behavioral self-predictions) to engage in culture-preserving actions (e.g., living cultural values in the family); (2) the effects of the obstacles generally increased with the strength of the culture-transmission motive; (3) the combined effects of obstacles and the culture-transmission motive on intentions to engage in culture-preserving actions were partly mediated by anxiety about the loss of culture.

根据少数民族文化传播理论（Mchitarjan & Reisenzein, 2014a），社会文化群体希望维持自己的文化体系并将其传递给下一代。我们报告了一项析因调查实验，该实验检验了该理论的一个中心假设：文化传播动机被对文化传播的感知威胁所激活，并激励旨在应对这些威胁的教学行动。年轻人想象着他们决定带着他们的伴侣和孩子移民到一个虚构的国家。通过改变对移民国家文化传播有利或不利条件的六个维度的描述来操纵文化传播的威胁程度，同时测量参与者的文化传播动机的强度。正如预测的那样，(1)文化传播的障碍（如不同的价值观和规范）增加了参与者对失去原籍文化的焦虑，增加了他们参与文化保护行动（如在家庭中生活文化价值观）的意图（行为自我预测）；(2)障碍效应总体上随着文化传播动机的增强而增强；(3)障碍和文化传播动机对文化保护行为意愿的综合影响部分由文化丧失焦虑介导。
