COVID-19 fear and ethnocentrism in the global south: A cross-cultural analysis
This study explored the extent to which fear of COVID-19 was related to ethnocentrism in 10 Global South nations: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, and Singapore. Based on a representative sample of 2963 participants, results revealed ethnocentrism and fear of COVID-19 are positively correlated. In addition, there was a significant difference in ethnocentrism and fear of COVID-19 based on nation and sex. Theoretical implications and future research are discussed, with an emphasis on how the presence of a contagion, a virus, influences intercultural and intergroup dynamics, prejudice, and ethnocentrism.
期刊介绍:
IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
