Does polyculturalism explain the relationship between personality, thinking style, and prejudice in Australia
Objective: Polyculturalism, a relatively new intergroup ideology conceptualises culture as dynamic by emphasising intergroup connections.

It was predicted that openness to experience, agreeableness, and cognitive flexibility (alternative and control) would be as…
The Relationship between a Sense of Belonging to the LGBTIQ + Community, Internalized Heterosexism, and Depressive Symptoms among Bisexual and Lesbian Women

Depression is a significant mental health issue for bisexual women.

Existing research indicates that identification and involvement with the LGBTQ + community is not protective for the mental health of bisexual women. The protective nature of the extent…
Preventing Cross-Cultural Bias in Deception Judgments
The expectancy violation model proposes that people infer deception when the communicator violates social norms without obvious cause. However, social norms are culture specific. Therefore, discrepant norms between a communicator and an observer in a cross-cultural interaction might increase the likelihood of inferring deception and thus result in bias. The present study investigated whether informing people about cultural differences in nonverba…
