The current study examines an existing scale for measuring societal resilience for two objectives: first, to explore and verify, using factor analysis, the classification of the tool into varied factors. Second, to examine which psychological, demographic variables, and political preferences, controlling for each other, significantly predict each factor. The study consisted of 957 adult Hebrew-speaking Israelis sampled using an Internet panel company. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated four distinct factors, each predicted significantly by different scales. The factors are (a) 'Trust in the government and its leader' (five items), (b) 'Social integration' (four items), (c) 'Attachment to the country' (four items), and (d) 'Trust in the state institutions' (two items). Path Analysis indicated that six scales significantly predicted at least one of the four factors (presented by level of factor loading): Trust in the government and its leader was predicted by government support, community resilience, hope, and religiosity. Hope, community resilience, and government support predicted attachment to the country. Hope, government support, a sense of danger, age, and community resilience predicted social integration. Trust in state institutions was predicted by government support, religiosity, community resilience, and age. The article offers possible explanations for these findings.

目前的研究考察了一个现有的衡量社会弹性的量表，有两个目标：首先，探索和验证，使用因素分析，将工具分类为不同的因素。其次，检查哪些心理、人口变量和政治偏好，相互控制，显著预测每个因素。这项研究由一家互联网调查公司抽样调查了957名讲希伯来语的以色列成年人。采用结构方程模型（SEM）的验证性因子分析（CFA）显示了四个不同的因素，每个因素在不同的量表上都有显著的预测。这些因素是(a)“对政府及其领导人的信任”（5项），(b)“社会一体化”（4项），(c)“对国家的依恋”（4项），(d)“对国家机构的信任”（2项）。通径分析表明，6个量表至少显著预测了4个因素中的一个（以因素负荷水平表示）：政府支持、社区恢复力、希望和宗教信仰预测了对政府及其领导人的信任。希望、社区恢复力和政府支持预示着对这个国家的依恋。希望、政府支持、危机感、年龄和社区恢复力预示着社会融合。对国家机构的信任由政府支持、宗教信仰、社区恢复力和年龄预测。这篇文章为这些发现提供了可能的解释。

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our society - economically, politically, and interpersonally. The Asian community, in particular, faced severe xenophobia globally, with blame often unfairly attributed to them for the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study focuses on factors associated with increased blame toward Asian immigrants by host nationals in the United States and Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of a research project on intergroup relations, data were collected from 233 native-born Americans and 218 native-born Canadians. Multiple regression analyses indicated that national identity and country of residence together explained seven percent of the variability in blaming Asian immigrants for the pandemic. Higher national identity was related to lower blaming of Asian immigrants. Conservative sociopolitical views were also associated with increased blaming. Additionally, we found a moderating effect of COVID-related worry on the relationship between country of residence and blaming Asian immigrants for the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that the relationship between the country of residence of the participants and the blame they place on Asian immigrants was influenced by their worry about the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings could be valuable in shaping public health communication strategies in future health crises, particularly in terms of ways to address and mitigate discriminatory discourse against minorities and immigrants.

2019冠状病毒病大流行对我们的社会——经济、政治和人际关系——产生了重大影响。尤其是亚洲社区，在全球范围内面临严重的仇外情绪，人们常常不公平地将新冠肺炎疫情归咎于他们。本研究的重点是在COVID-19大流行期间，美国和加拿大的东道国国民对亚洲移民的指责增加的相关因素。作为族群间关系研究项目的一部分，研究人员从233名土生土长的美国人和218名土生土长的加拿大人那里收集了数据。多元回归分析表明，民族认同和居住国共同解释了将大流行归咎于亚洲移民的7%的差异。较高的国家认同与较低的对亚洲移民的指责有关。保守的社会政治观点也与越来越多的指责有关。此外，我们发现COVID-19相关担忧对居住国与将COVID-19大流行归咎于亚洲移民之间的关系有调节作用，这表明参与者的居住国与其对亚洲移民的指责之间的关系受到他们对COVID-19大流行的担忧的影响。这些发现可能有助于在未来的卫生危机中制定公共卫生传播战略，特别是在处理和减轻针对少数群体和移民的歧视性言论方面。

This study investigates the acculturation experience of Malaysian-Chinese students in China through the lens of cultural proximity, with a specific focus on their social media practices. Based on semi-structured interviews with 17 Malaysian-Chinese international students, the study reveals a core finding: while cultural proximity facilitated daily adaptation, it did not translate into deep intercultural integration. Instead, most students adopted a separation strategy, maintaining a dual-set of social media use that reflects their divided social circles. Meanwhile, language proficiency also showed a limited effect, supporting only functional adjustment without fostering meaningful interaction with the locals. Social media proved instrumental for pre- and post-arrival preparation, academic support and mental well-being, yet its effectiveness also remained at a surface level, offering little help in expanding host-country social circles.

本研究通过文化接近的视角调查了马来西亚华裔学生在中国的文化适应经历，并特别关注了他们的社交媒体实践。基于对17名马来西亚华裔国际学生的半结构化访谈，该研究揭示了一个核心发现：虽然文化接近促进了日常适应，但它并没有转化为深度的跨文化融合。相反，大多数学生采取了分离策略，保持双重社交媒体使用，这反映了他们分裂的社交圈。同时，语言能力也显示出有限的影响，只支持功能调整，而没有促进与当地人的有意义的互动。事实证明，社交媒体在抵达前和抵达后的准备、学术支持和心理健康方面发挥了重要作用，但其有效性也停留在表面水平，对扩大东道国社交圈几乎没有帮助。

This study presents a cross-cultural ethnographic account of global talent scholars’ (GTSs) long-term international faculty member (IFM) experiences in Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs). The study used field notes, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews with 14 IFMs from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Germany. Alongside the post-pandemic academic labor market crises and geopolitical uncertainties, this study adopted the concepts of global brain drain and gain, as well as transnational academic capital mobility, and further mapped intercultural capital as a coping mechanism. Accordingly, the study promoted scholarly conversations about these primary themes: (a) motivational factors for relocation: global academic social networks and family reasons; (b) positionalities as GTSs: strategic leaders via global political savvy and academic expertise; (c) diagnosing the current brain circulation: ambiguous loss in the in-between space; and (d) survival strategy and outlooks: loyalty and intercultural awareness in institutional capacity. The most overarching findings revealed that while participants positioned themselves as GTSs in China, they also felt anxious and ambivalent about the current global brain circulation phenomenon, as they witnessed an increasing number of academic turnovers. Nevertheless, they emphasized the social importance of fostering intercultural awareness and building mutual understanding as essential elements of sustainable academic careers in Sino-foreign relations. Therefore, this study critiqued structural problems of the current brain circulation phenomenon and offered implications for establishing coping mechanisms for IFMs in China via intercultural training and career counseling.

本研究以跨文化民族志的视角，探讨了全球人才学者（gts）在中国高等教育机构的长期国际教员（IFM）经历。该研究使用了实地记录、反思日志和对来自美国、英国、加拿大、法国和德国的14家ifm的半结构化访谈。除了大流行后的学术劳动力市场危机和地缘政治不确定性之外，本研究还采用了全球人才流失和获得以及跨国学术资本流动的概念，并进一步绘制了跨文化资本作为应对机制的地图。因此，这项研究促进了关于这些主要主题的学术对话：(a)重新安置的动机因素：全球学术社会网络和家庭原因；(b)作为gts的地位：通过全球政治悟性和学术专长成为战略领导者；(c)诊断当前脑循环：中间空间的模糊损失；(d)生存战略和前景：机构能力中的忠诚和跨文化意识。最重要的发现显示，虽然参与者将自己定位为中国的gts，但他们也对当前的全球人才流动现象感到焦虑和矛盾，因为他们目睹了越来越多的学术人员流动。然而，他们强调了培养跨文化意识和建立相互理解的社会重要性，这是中外关系学术事业可持续发展的基本要素。因此，本研究对当前人才流动现象的结构性问题进行了批判，并为通过跨文化培训和职业咨询建立中国ifm应对机制提供了启示。

Newly-arrived adolescents face a triple jeopardy when it comes to loneliness, stemming from their age, migration background, and newcomer status. While theoretical arguments have been developed to explain this triple jeopardy, empirical research on specific correlates of newly-arrived adolescents’ loneliness experiences is scarce. This study aims to address this gap by examining the role of five different school-related factors —student support, teacher support, interpersonal trust within the school context, discrimination by peers and discrimination by teachers—, given the significance of the educational setting for newly-arrived adolescents. Survey data from 678 newly-arrived adolescents (aged 11–20 years) from 32 schools offering reception education in Flanders were used. Multilevel logistic regression was employed to analyse three loneliness outcomes: general, social, and emotional loneliness. The findings indicate that newly-arrived adolescents who felt more supported by their peers and teachers, and who reported higher levels of trust in them, felt less lonely. Additionally, newly-arrived adolescents who encountered discriminatory practices by their peers and teachers were more vulnerable to all types of loneliness than those who did not experience any discrimination. One exception was found: there were no significant differences in emotional loneliness between newly-arrived adolescents who experienced frequent discrimination from their peers and those who did not face any peer discrimination. In sum, this study highlights that schools providing reception education can act as significant actors in addressing the triple vulnerability of newly-arrived adolescents to loneliness. They underscore the need for targeted interventions within schools offering reception education to foster supportive and inclusive environments.

新来的青少年在孤独方面面临三重危险，这源于他们的年龄、移民背景和新移民身份。虽然已经有理论论据来解释这种三重危险，但对新来的青少年孤独经历的具体相关因素的实证研究却很少。考虑到教育环境对新来的青少年的重要性，本研究旨在通过考察五个不同的学校相关因素——学生支持、教师支持、学校环境中的人际信任、同伴歧视和教师歧视——的作用来解决这一差距。调查数据来自法兰德斯32所提供接收教育的学校的678名新来的青少年（11-20岁）。采用多水平逻辑回归分析三种孤独结果：一般孤独、社会孤独和情感孤独。研究结果表明，初来乍到的青少年感受到更多的同伴和老师的支持，对他们的信任程度更高，他们感到的孤独感就更少。此外，新来的青少年遇到同龄人和老师的歧视做法比没有经历任何歧视的人更容易受到各种类型的孤独。我们发现了一个例外：经常受到同伴歧视的新来的青少年和没有受到同伴歧视的新来的青少年在情感孤独方面没有显著差异。总之，本研究强调，提供接收教育的学校可以在解决新来的青少年对孤独的三重脆弱性方面发挥重要作用。他们强调需要在提供接待教育的学校中进行有针对性的干预，以培养支持性和包容性的环境。

Adolescents of immigrant descent can be oriented toward their heritage and mainstream cultures. Addressing the lack of longitudinal studies of acculturation, this study identifies cultural orientation classes of such adolescents and tracks changes in their classes from early to late adolescence. Latent class analysis and latent transition analysis were applied using data from 2011, 2015, and 2019 (spanning nine years) of the nationally representative Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study collected from adolescents of immigrant descent in Korea (n = 1635). We identified three cultural orientation classes: “integration”, “assimilation”, and “moderate biculturalism”. Across all time points, most participants were in the “integration” and “assimilation” classes. At each transition point, the majority of adolescents tended to remain in one specific cultural orientation class, indicating stability. Furthermore, gender, ethnicity, and family language partially predicted membership in the “integration” or “assimilation” classes. Lastly, our findings revealed that adolescents in the “integration” and “assimilation” classes reported higher life satisfaction compared to those in the “moderate biculturalism” class. Based on our findings, we provide interpretations and discussions, taking into account the context of Korean society.

移民后裔的青少年可以被导向他们的遗产和主流文化。针对缺乏文化适应的纵向研究，本研究确定了这些青少年的文化取向班级，并追踪了他们的班级从青春期早期到青春期晚期的变化。潜在类别分析和潜在转变分析使用了2011年、2015年和2019年（跨越9年）的数据，这些数据来自韩国具有全国代表性的多元文化青少年小组研究（n = 1635）。我们确定了三个文化取向类别：“融合”、“同化”和“适度双文化主义”。在所有时间点上，大多数参与者都处于“融合”和“同化”类别。在每个过渡点，大多数青少年倾向于留在一个特定的文化取向班级，这表明稳定性。此外，性别、种族和家庭语言部分预测了“融合”或“同化”阶层的成员资格。最后，我们的研究结果显示，“融合”和“同化”班级的青少年比“适度双文化”班级的青少年报告了更高的生活满意度。根据我们的发现，我们提供了解释和讨论，考虑到韩国社会的背景。

Objectives

This study explores how young refugees experience and create a sense of belonging in Germany, using Photovoice, a community-based participatory action research method.

Method

Twenty-eight young refugees attending an urban secondary school in Germany were invited to take photographs representing their sense of belonging. These photos were discussed collaboratively in group sessions and analyzed using descriptive thematic analysis.

Results

Four key themes were identified: (1) Building Relationships with Germans and Feeling Part of Social Groups, (2) Navigating the Future by Balancing Aspirations with Fears of Exclusion, (3) Embracing Symbols, Values, and Respect for Diversity, and (4) Finding Solace in Nature and Cultural Spaces.

Conclusion

Belonging among young refugees is shaped by complex social, cultural, and spatial dimensions. The findings highlight the importance of fosterig inclusive environments, acknowledging symbolic representations of shared values, and creating inclusive and accessible spaces for connection and emotional restoration.

本研究利用基于社区的参与性行动研究方法Photovoice，探讨年轻难民如何在德国体验和创造归属感。方法邀请28名在德国一所城市中学就读的年轻难民拍摄代表他们归属感的照片。这些照片在小组会议中进行协作讨论，并使用描述性主题分析进行分析。结果确定了四个关键主题：(1)与德国人建立关系并感受社会群体的一部分；(2)通过平衡愿望与排斥恐惧来导航未来；(3)拥抱符号、价值观和尊重多样性；(4)在自然和文化空间中寻找慰藉。青年难民的归属感受到复杂的社会、文化和空间维度的影响。研究结果强调了培养包容性环境的重要性，承认共同价值观的象征性代表，并为联系和情感恢复创造包容性和可访问的空间。

In this study, we go beyond previous literature studying social perception of immigrant groups in Western, rich, educated, industrialized, and democratic contexts by contributing the first study of this kind in Kazakhstan, a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual country. Utilizing the stereotype content model framework, we investigated which immigrant groups are salient in Kazakhstani society (pilot study, N = 401). Building on these findings, we examined differences in warmth and competence perceptions across salient immigrant groups in Kazakhstani society in our main study (N = 500). Finally, we investigated the role of the ethnic and language-based identity of the perceiver in shaping the social perceptions for a subgroup of immigrant groups, and extended the stereotype content model framework with the threat and benefit model to investigate whether perceived societal threats or benefits explained these differences. Meaningful differences emerged along both dimensions of warmth and competence. Additionally, findings suggested that Russian-speakers perceived immigrant groups as warmer and more competent than Kazakh-speakers, which was explained by higher benefit rather than threat perceptions. Overall, we contributed novel insights on the social perception of immigrants and its determinants in a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual context, which we hope will provide a fertile ground for future investigations in under-researched areas and beyond.

在这项研究中，我们超越了以往研究西方、富裕、受教育、工业化和民主背景下移民群体的社会认知的文献，首次在哈萨克斯坦这个多民族、多语言的国家进行了此类研究。利用刻板印象内容模型框架，我们调查了哈萨克斯坦社会中哪些移民群体是突出的（试点研究，N = 401）。在这些发现的基础上，我们在主要研究中考察了哈萨克斯坦社会中主要移民群体在热情和能力感知方面的差异（N = 500）。最后，我们研究了移民群体的种族和语言认同在塑造社会认知中的作用，并将刻板印象内容模型框架扩展为威胁和利益模型，以探讨感知到的社会威胁或利益是否解释了这些差异。在热情和能力这两个维度上都出现了有意义的差异。此外，研究结果表明，说俄语的人认为移民群体比说哈萨克语的人更热情、更有能力，这可以用更高的利益感而不是威胁感来解释。总的来说，我们对移民的社会观念及其在多种族和多语言背景下的决定因素做出了新的见解，我们希望这将为未来研究不足的领域和其他领域的研究提供肥沃的土壤。

Chinese-heritage students in Australian universities tend to underuse both face-to-face and online mental health services. This study aimed to explore the associations between mental health knowledge, different types of stigmas, and intentions to seek help from online and face-to-face sources for psychological problems among Chinese-heritage students. Chinese-heritage students (N = 268) recruited from three Australian universities completed an online cross-sectional survey. Over 70 % self-reported current mental ill-health and 89 % had previously sought help for their condition. Overall, there were high intentions to seek help from online (71.3 %) and face-to-face (85.1 %) sources, with a clear preference for face-to-face support. Multivariate analyses revealed that international student status, longer residence in Australia, and greater mental health knowledge were associated with higher intentions to seek help from online and face-to-face sources; and younger age was additionally associated with intentions to seek help from online sources. The results suggested that, among help-seeking Chinese-heritage students with poor mental health, being an international student and residing longer in Australia were associated with higher intentions to seek help. Strategies to promote help-seeking among Chinese-heritage students in Australia should therefore focus on supporting newly arrived students, as well as improving mental health knowledge.

澳大利亚大学的华裔学生往往没有充分利用面对面和在线心理健康服务。本研究旨在探讨华裔学生心理健康知识、不同类型的污名与在线和面对面寻求心理问题帮助的意向之间的关系。来自澳大利亚三所大学的华裔学生（N = 268）完成了一项在线横断面调查。超过70% %的人自我报告目前的精神健康状况不佳，89% %的人曾为此寻求过帮助。总体而言，有很高的意愿从网上（71.3% %）和面对面（85.1% %）渠道寻求帮助，并明显倾向于面对面的支持。多变量分析显示，国际学生身份、在澳大利亚居住时间较长和心理健康知识丰富与从在线和面对面渠道寻求帮助的意愿较高相关；此外，年龄较小的人更倾向于从网上寻求帮助。结果表明，在寻求帮助的心理健康状况较差的华裔学生中，作为国际学生和在澳大利亚居住时间较长的学生寻求帮助的意愿更高。因此，促进在澳华裔学生寻求帮助的策略应侧重于支持新来的学生，以及提高心理健康知识。

Patterns of multicultural acceptance of the young and the elderly in South Korea and their impact on the acceptance of immigrants 韩国对年轻人和老年人的多元文化接受模式及其对移民接受的影响

South Korea, once regarded as an ethnically homogeneous nation, has undergone rapid demographic and policy changes since the early 2000s, giving rise to state-led multicultural initiatives. However, while the older generation has spent most of their lives in a monoethnic and assimilation-oriented society, younger cohorts have grown up amid greater everyday contact with immigrants and increased institutional support for diversity. Building on these generational differences, this study examined latent patterns of multicultural acceptance among young and older adults and examined how these patterns relate to attitudes toward immigrants. Utilizing data from the 2021 National Multicultural Acceptance Survey, latent profile analysis and the Bolck–Croon–Hagenaars approach were performed. Latent profile analysis identified three distinct profiles among the young and four among the elderly, showing higher overall multicultural acceptance among the former but greater complexity among the latter. According to the results of the Bolck–Croon–Hagenaars approach, patterns characterized by higher levels of multicultural acceptance were associated with more favorable attitudes toward immigrants. This study seeks to promote a desirable transition toward a multicultural society in South Korea by suggesting practical policy measures to enhance multicultural acceptance across generations, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive society grounded in mutual understanding and respect.

韩国曾经被认为是一个民族单一的国家，自21世纪初以来，韩国经历了快速的人口和政策变化，催生了国家主导的多元文化倡议。然而，虽然老一辈人大部分时间都生活在一个单一种族和以同化为导向的社会中，但年轻一代的成长过程中，与移民的日常接触越来越多，对多样性的制度支持也越来越多。基于这些代际差异，本研究考察了年轻人和老年人接受多元文化的潜在模式，并考察了这些模式与对移民的态度之间的关系。利用2021年国家多元文化接受调查的数据，进行了潜在剖面分析和bolock - croon - hagenaars方法。潜在剖面分析发现，年轻人有3种不同的剖面，老年人有4种不同的剖面，前者总体上对多元文化的接受程度更高，而后者则更复杂。根据Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars方法的结果，以更高水平的多元文化接受度为特征的模式与对移民的更有利态度有关。本研究旨在通过提出切实可行的政策措施，促进韩国向多元文化社会的理想过渡，以提高各代人对多元文化的接受程度，最终为建立一个以相互理解和尊重为基础的更具包容性的社会做出贡献。
