Cultural Intelligence in African Contexts
This article argues for the expansion of cultural intelligence beyond its traditional focus on intercultural encounters to include intracultural intelligence, particularly within African contexts. Current conceptualisations, rooted in Western multicultural realities, emphasise competence with “other cultures” while not acknowledging the importance of ingroup cultural competence. Drawing on African societies—where cultural identity, ethnic diversi…

Xenophobia in the context of African worldviews
This paper examines the phenomenon of xenophobia in Africa. The manifestation of xenophobia was explored within the tenets of the terror management theory which links existential concerns to the development of worldviews that help to make sense of life vagaries. We put forward that colonialism impacted the African worldview of collectivism and human connectedness and contributed to a worldview of the world as a dangerous place. The authors largel…
Socioeconomic status and social capital as predictors of happiness
Understanding socioeconomic status (SES) and social capital as predictors of life outcomes has remained central to humanitarian, health and social research. This current study explores how socioeconomic status and social capital (community solidarity, locus of control and generalised trust) predict happiness among a sample of South African adults. Possible gender differences were also considered. Cross-sectional data from ( n = 1049) South Africa…
Interpreting Microaggression as a Determinant of Wellbeing
Despite the increasing interest in exploring microaggression in the humanitarian context, there remains uncertainty on its mechanism for affecting life outcomes. There is a lack of studies on ethnic and racial minorities in non-western countries. The current research explores dimensions and manifestations of microaggression and how they affect wellbeing in a multicultural setting. The study uses a qualitative approach with 15 focus group discussi…
The multicultural conceptualisation of well-being
The findings confirm personal circumstance and culture as significant for interpreting results from well-being research. Furthermore, it supports Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, highlighting the movement from deficiency needs to growth needs after deficiency needs are met. Research must adopt a more sociological approach to improve the accuracy and implementibility of findings when using standardised measures of well-being
Need for closure and ethnic identification
Multiethnic group countries are distinctive in that ethnic identification/loyalty and national identification/loyalty sometimes contend. In addition, the different ethnic groups that make up these countries though interdependent compete for relevance. Such a mode of social relationship creates uncertainty and heightens the consciousness of group survival. These characteristics make African countries rich sites for the investigation of intergroup …
Social dominance orientation and ethnocentric bias
In this study, social dominance orientation (SDO) was examined in relation to ethnocentric bias while ingroup identification and group status were tested as moderator variables. With a survey research design, data were collected via standardised psychological scales from a sample of 1050 participants drawn from majority and minority ethnic groups using a multistage sampling procedure. Findings showed that SDO was a significant positive predictor …
Psycho-social correlates of wellbeing among South Africans
Wellbeing is a public health variable as it is an index of societal development. According to the most recent World Happiness Reports, South Africa ranks low in the self-reported wellbeing of its citizens. This study set out to understand the contributory factors to wellbeing of South Africans. This study explored the South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) of 2017, a national survey of social attitudes in South Africa for variables that ar…
Interethnic Influencing Factors Regarding Buttocks Body Image in Women from Nigeria, Germany, USA and Japan
Overall, a highly significant correlation was shown between the consumption frequency of Instagram, TikTok and pornography with the negative perception of women's own buttocks
Determinants of support for social integration in South Africa
South Africa is divided along race lines and this has made social integration difficult to achieve in the nation. The aspiration for the rainbow nation since the end of apartheid has been a country united in its diversity. Research evidence shows that interracial trust and interaction are still very low in the nation. This study set out to examine the determinants of support for social integration in South Africa. The variables of perceived impro…
Correlates of Psychological Distress among Liberian Migrants in Nigeria
Migrant presence is a social reality in most societies of today. Most of the research on migrant health comes from countries popular for migration. Thus, research on migrant health is less available in developing worlds. This study, therefore, investigated psychological distress among Liberian migrants in Nigeria with shame and social supports as correlates. Participants were Liberian migrants residing in a refugee camp in Nigeria. With a quantit…
Xenophobia
This study reports the development and validation of a scale to measure xenophobia. The authors were particularly interested in the characterisation of this phenomenon in African nations. Two studies were conducted to explore and confirm the factor structure of the xenophobia scale and ascertain its validity and reliability. In study I, exploratory factor analysis produced a two-factor structure for the xenophobia scale labelled ingroup centredne…
