A1 - Schwarzenthal, Miriam T1 - Cultural diversity approaches in schools and adolescents’ willingness to support refugee youth JF - British journal of educational psychology / British Psychological Society N2 - Background Culturally diverse schools contribute to adolescents' intergroup relations. Complex and inclusive social identities are mechanisms that can explain the link between structural school cultural diversity (i.e., proportion of students of immigrant descent and the number of different ethnic groups) and positive intergroup relations. We expected that similar mechanisms might be at play linking cultural diversity approaches in schools with adolescents' intergroup relations. Aim We examined the link between two sub-dimensions of cultural diversity approaches (i.e., equal treatment; heritage and intercultural learning) and adolescents' prosocial intentions and behaviour towards refugee youth. Then, we explored the mediating role of identity inclusiveness (i.e., perceived similarity of the self with others). Sample and methods We sampled culturally diverse eighth grade adolescents from 54 classrooms in Berlin (N = 503, M-age = 13.76 years, 50.6% female). Surveys measured perceived cultural diversity norms, adolescents' perceived identity inclusiveness with refugee youth, prosocial intentions to support refugee youth, and willingness to donate to a project for refugee youth. Results Multilevel models revealed that adolescents' perception of heritage and intercultural learning predicted adolescents' prosocial intentions towards refugee youth, but not their willingness to donate. Equal treatment was not a significant predictor of adolescents' prosocial intentions towards refugee youth, or their willingness to donate. Identity inclusiveness did not mediate the relation between cultural diversity approaches and prosocial intentions. However, identity inclusiveness did positively relate adolescents' prosocial intentions and willingness to donate. Conclusions We conclude that culturally diverse schools that engage in heritage and intercultural learning might help to promote positive relations between local and refugee youth in schools and society. Fostering inclusive identities may enhance local adolescent's prosocial intention and behaviour.

Auf der Grundlage physiologischer Messungen wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die Konzentrationsfaehigkeit von Schuelerinnen und Schuelern durch gezielte Entspannungssequenzen im Unterricht gesteuert werden kann.

A potential explanation for these effects is an effect of social comparative performance feedback on an individual’s self-evaluation of performance, which in turn influences development of self-concept and task interest. There are, however, only few studies addressing this topic with experimental designs. This study was aimed at closing this research gap by experimentally manipulating social comparative performance. Feedback given was based on 2 × 2 experimental conditions: social position (high vs. low) and average performance of the reference group (high vs. low). Results show a strong effect of social position on self-evaluation of performance and smaller effects on self-concept and task interest.

BT - Minority versus majority cross-ethnic friendships altering discrimination experiences JF - Journal of applied developmental psychology : an internat. multidisciplinary lifespan journal N2 - We examined the interplay between perceived ethnic discrimination (PED) as a risk factor, and cross-ethnic friendships as a protective factor in culturally diverse classrooms, and how they relate to the socioemotional adjustment of ethnic minority boys and girls. We conducted multi-level analyses of 327 Turkish-heritage ethnic minority early-adolescents in Germany (62 classrooms; M-age = 11.59 years, SDage = 0.76). Higher rates of PED were associated with more depressive symptoms and disruptive behaviors and lower general life satisfaction-though these effects differed by gender. Unexpectedly, cross-ethnic friendships with ethnic majority peers exacerbated the negative effects of PED on socioemotional adjustment. This effect was decreased, though, when adolescents perceived the classroom climate to be supportive of intergroup contact toward majority-minority cross-ethnic friendships. Supportive classroom climate also buffered the effects of PED for youth with minority cross-ethnic friends. Results indicate the need to differentiate types of cross-ethnic relationships and account for the intergroup climate.

BT - shedding light into different forms of color-evasive ideology with pre- and in-service teachers BT - unterschiedliche Formen der Color-Evasion-Ideologie bei Lehramtsstudierenden und Lehrkräften JF - Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft : ZfE N2 - The color-evasive ideology (commonly termed "colorblindness") proposes that ethnic and cultural group memberships should be deemphasized. Yet there is a conceptual confusion around the meaning and measurement of color-evasiveness, and this construct is not used consistently in the international as well as German literature. Our purpose is to investigate whether two underlying forms of the color-evasive ideology (i.e., stressing similarities and ignoring differences) are two distinct, albeit related, constructs. We tested this hypothesis by applying these two forms of the color-evasive ideology to teachers' cultural diversity beliefs. In two cross-sectional field studies conducted with pre-service teachers (Study 1, n = 210), and in-service teachers (Study 2, n = 99), questionnaire items on the stressing similarities ideology and items on the ignoring differences ideology loaded on two separate factors, providing a better fit to the data than the one-factor model. Mean scores on these two types of color-evasive ideology also differed substantially, indicating that participants across the two studies mainly endorsed the stressing similarities perspective. The stressing similarities and ignoring differences ideologies related differently to other intergroup ideologies (i.e., multiculturalism and polyculturalism), and showed different patterns to psychosocial functioning in culturally diverse classrooms (i.e., cultural diversity-related stress). N2 - Nach der sogenannten „Color-Evasion“ Ideologie (auch als „Color-blindness“ oder Farbenblindheit bezeichnet) sind ethnische und kulturelle Gruppenzugehörigkeiten irrelevant. Es gibt jedoch begriffliche Unklarheiten über die Bedeutung und Messung von Color-evasion, und dieses Konstrukt wird in der internationalen so wie in der deutschen Literatur nicht konsistent verwendet. Unser Ziel ist es, zu untersuchen, ob zwei zugrunde liegende Formen der Color-evasion-Ideologie, nämlich Ähnlichkeiten hervorheben und Unterschiede ignorieren, zwei unterschiedliche, wenn auch verwandte Konstrukte sind. Wir testeten diese Hypothese, indem wir prüften, ob sich diese Unterscheidung der beiden Formen der Color-evasion-Ideologie in den Überzeugungen über kulturelle Vielfalt von (angehenden) Lehrer*innen widerspiegelte. In zwei Querschnitts-Feldstudien, die mit Lehramtsstudierenden (Studie 1, n = 210) und Lehrkräften (Studie 2, n = 99) durchgeführt wurden, luden Items zum Hervorheben von Ähnlichkeiten und zum Ignorieren von Unterschieden auf zwei getrennten Faktoren, welche eine bessere Passung mit den Daten als das Ein-Faktor-Modell zeigten. Die Durchschnittswerte für diese beiden Arten der Color-evasion-Ideologie unterschieden sich ebenfalls erheblich, was zeigt, dass die Teilnehmer an den beiden Studien hauptsächlich Ähnlichkeiten hervorheben. Auch in ihrem Zusammenhang mit anderen Diversity-Ideologien (Multikulturalismus und Polykulturalismus), und mit der psychosozialen Adaptation von Lehrer*innen (Stress im Zusammenhang mit kultureller Vielfalt) unterschieden sich Ähnlichkeiten hervorheben und Unterschiede ignorieren, was die unterschiedliche konzeptuelle Bedeutung der beiden Formen von Color-evasion ebenfalls unterstreicht.

Adopting a mixed-methods design, this study assesses teachers' (n = 207) and students' (n = 1,644) self-reported perceptions of descriptive norms and evaluates school practices and artefacts in the physical and virtual environment of 22 secondary schools in south-west Germany. Results showed that in all schools under investigation teachers and students perceived descriptive norms fostering mostly equality. A wide variety of practices and artefacts was found, revealing a third distinct cultural approach leaning towards endorsing the majority culture. Different practices and artefacts were linked to an emphasis on equality, cultural pluralism, and endorsing the majority culture. Implications for educational policy, as well as applied diversity research, are discussed.
