Hindu and Muslim respondents supporting secular multiculturalism and composite culturalism gave their reactions to three norm-violating situations of varying intensities. Multinomial logistic regression was used to predict preferred reactions across situatio…

Scarcity Mindsets and Generational Differences in India

When the Advantaged Feel Victimised
This article seeks to understand the collective victimhood of the Hindus, a majority group in India, relative to the feelings of collective victimhood of the Muslim minority. It studies the role that is played by feelings of collective victimhood (CV) along with ingroup identity, fraternalistic relative deprivation (FRD), intergroup emotions and relative power in responding to intergroup conflict situations. The results showed that Hindus reporte…
Emotional Reactions to Intergroup Norm Violations
The present study investigates emotional reactions that follow norm violations involving Hindus and Muslims in India. It also studies how in-group’s emotional reaction is predicted by the emotion that the group experiences in tandem with certain contextual factors, such as, fraternal relative deprivation (FRD), social identity, power to harm and resource power. Data were collected on 221 Hindus and 167 Muslims. Three different types of norm-viola…

Selfhood in Search of Godhood
The article seeks to create a space for the concept of ‘self as God’ in the discourse on self-psychology. It attempts to understand how the central concept of spiritual or divine self finds expression in the lives of ordinary Hindus and in their cultural practices. It is argued that Hindus seek an intimate relationship with their God and, in the process, attempt to realise divinity in self. The relationship with others, including children, teache…
The “other” truth of culture and omniculturalism
The paper engages with Jahoda’s (2012) and Moghaddam’s (2012) papers and examines Jahoda’s stand of not seeking to define culture because of the problems posed by the term. It is argued that clarification of a concept can be achieved through systematic analysis of definitions of a term and an acceptable definition can be co-constructed. Definitions are seen important where social policies are to be formulated. Moghaddam’s concept of “omnicultural…

The Ways of ‘Being’ and ‘Becoming’ Human
Individualism and Collectivism
Realo (2003) argues that Estonian society in public discourse is construed differently compared to the way it is in academic discourse. We suggest that such discrepancies arise because of the processes of social categorization, and also because scholars have focused more on universal attributes of individualism/collectivism (I/C) than on cultural processes. Our comments also draw attention to several theoretical and methodological problems associ…
Accepting Advice
Advice is not always wanted or correct. Nevertheless, it is sometimes difficult for the provider of advice to judge the quality of advice. Giving recipients the freedom to reject advice (and reducing their feeling of being obliged to accept it) may increase the chances that other forms of intended aid, such as social support, will continue to be accepted and to have beneficial effects on well-being. This may be particularly the case in obligatory…
Subjective past, present, and future fit
Hypotheses were tested regarding the effects of subjective current, retrospected, and anticipated person-environment fit on affective and somatic strain and well-being. Two-hundred seven university students preparing for annual academic examinations at an Indian university completed self-administered questionnaires measuring parameters of the hypotheses. A distinction was made between cognitive (e.g., meeting demands for intelligence, good memory…
