Navigating emerging adulthood away from home
The present study examines emerging adulthood ( Arnett, 2000 ) in the context of acculturation among international higher education students in Hungary. Specifically, the aim was to test an integrated structural model examining how developmental, contextual, acculturation-related, and individual factors relate to the psychological, sociocultural, and academic adaptation of international students. Data were collected via an online questionnaire. A…
Returning home
Our qualitative research aims to investigate the decision-making process of Hungarian adults to return to their home and their psychological adaptation after returning from abroad. Realizing the crucial role of the immediate social context in reintegration and addressing a research gap, we applied a multi-perspective interview approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of repatriation experiences. We conducted interviews with 30 participants:…

To explore the adaptation and acculturation experience of youths reporting nonsuicidal self-injury behavior and mental health difficulties. Additionally, the study seeks to better understand these adolescents' stressful experiences and strategies for coping. …

The aim of the present research is to investigate the reasons for emigration versus staying in Hungary by examining the less conscious layers of decision-making and motivation, specifically the subjective meanings attributed to life abroad and life at home, in Hungary. The Associative Group Analysis technique (Szalay & Brent in Journal of Social Psychology 72:161–187, 1967) was used in this study. Participants were asked to provide free associati…

Research group as helpers due to the war in Ukraine
The analysis revealed the way in which the voluntary helping developed, the resulting difficulties, and coping options. Volunteering among Ukrainian refugees has both positive and negative psychological consequences. While stress and trauma threaten the psychological well-being of the helpers, positive aspects, such as flexibility and professional development, are also reported. Due to the strong motivation among group members and their experienc…
Diversity and Hungarian teachers’ views on nationalism, migration and multiculturalism
This study was carried out among teachers in Budapest in 2016–17. It aimed at revealing teachers’ views on multiculturalism and multicultural education, together with their conceptualisations of migrants. When constructing a framework of interpretation, we believed that views on multicultural education and attitudes concerning migrants would be interrelated with teachers’ national identity, as well as their previous experiences with diversity. Th…
Adaptation of Turkish international students in Hungary and the United States
A case study approach was used to investigate the adaptation experiences of Turkish international students (TIS), which may vary according to the host culture, in two different cultures: Hungary (n = 14) and the United States (US) (n = 12). The findings of the data analysis yielded four broad overlapping categories: (1) experiences in academic setting, (2) interaction with others in the host country, (3) political reflections in the host country,…
Immigrants’ intragroup moral exclusion predicts ingroup-directed behavioral intentions
Previous research documents the relationship between negative treatments of outgroup members and moral exclusion. In this study, we expect negative treatments of the ingroup members to be also related to a moral exclusionary mechanism. Next, we hypothesize that the relationship between intragroup moral exclusion and behavioral intentions (both positive and negative ones) targeting the ingroup members, to be mediated by immigrants’ disidentificati…
A stepping stone to the “West”
The study aimed to investigate the academic adaptation experiences of international students from post-Soviet countries in Hungary. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 international students from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova, studying at an institute of higher education in Hungary. We used reflexive thematic analysis to explore the adaptation experiences of the international students and to analyze a relatively large…
Perceptions of gender roles and freedom among Iranian international students in Hungary
This qualitative study investigated attitudes toward gender roles and perception of freedom among Iranian students (n = 20) in Hungary. Four topics were extracted from the abductive content analysis of semi-structured interview transcripts: (1) gender essentialism, (2) gender-role egalitarianism, (3) traditional gender stereotypes, and (4) gendered freedom. Results indicated that: many men adopted gender essentialism, although women did not; men …

Beliefs in Equality for Women and Men as Related to Economic Factors in Central and Eastern Europe and the United States
Economic Influences on Ideals About Future Jobs in Young Adults in Formerly Socialist Countries and the United States
University students today in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) confront a world in which old ideals learned under state socialism are being questioned. Despite initial difficulties after the end of socialism, most of these countries now have more stable market economies. This article investigates how macroeconomic variables relate to ideals for future work in samples of students from eight CEE countries and the United States. Results indicate ther…
Social representations of HIV/Aids in five central European and eastern European countries
Cognitive processing models of risky sexual behaviour have proliferated in the two decades since the first reporting of HIV/AIDS, but far less attention has been paid to individual and group representations of the epidemic and the relationship between these representations and reported sexual behaviours. In this study, 494 business people and medics from Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Poland and Russia sorted free associations around HIV/AIDS in a ma…
Social representations of HIV/Aids in Central and Eastern Europe
Values and Sexual Behaviour in Central and Eastern Europe
Despite the profusion of social cognitive models for the prediction of sexual behaviour, we have only limited knowledge as to the role of individual values in predicting risky sexual activity. This study assessed the relationship between a recently developed value structure and sexual behaviour in the context of rising HIV infection in central and eastern Europe. Five hundred and three respondents (business people, doctors and nurses) from Estoni…
Social support in a changing Europe
Despite the continuing interest in social transitions among social scientists, there has been little analysis of the impact of societal change on personal relationships. One important factor in helping individuals deal with the stresses associated with rapid transitions is social support. In our first study, 450 manual workers, students and entrepreneurs in Russia, Georgia and Hungary completed structured questionnaires assessing demographic and …
Glasnost and the Art of Conversation
Despite extensive research in the field of self-disclosure, little is known about the impact of a formerly repressive regime on disclosure or the manner in which culture, demographic variables, and individual worldviews combine to affect disclosure. Building on the previous literature on social penetration processes and uncertainty reduction, the authors generated nine hypotheses about the impact of these variables on intimate disclosure. Worldvi…
