“Are my needs heard?” A qualitative study on the psychosocial needs of unaccompanied minors in Switzerland
Is Intergroup Contact Desired by Migrants? The Case of Unaccompanied Minors in Switzerland
Intergroup contact has been shown to reduce prejudice and promote positive relationships between members of different groups, as in the case of the integration of migrants. Nevertheless, extant research has not explored the crucial question of whether members of the migrant group express a desire for contact with the host group. To explore this question, we collected and collated a rare set of data to create a substantial corpus of semi‐structure…
Efficacy of imagined contact intervention with children and adolescents in reducing negative intergroup outcomes: A systematic review
The role of perceived ingroup norms about intergroup contact in intergroup friendship effects
Effects of intergroup contact norms and school climate on youth self-reported outgroup prosocial behaviour in school
If school walls could talk: A mixed-method study of physical space marking in promoting multiculturalism
Combining two qualitative and a quantitative method, we explored whether school’s physical environment promotes multicultural values or reflects intergroup climate in two multiethnic communities in Croatia. Croatia offers unique context for this study because minority youth from two ethnic groups use their right on minority language education and hence attend separate minority schools. Results show that the representation of ethnic symbols in sch…
Trust us, we know what we are doing: Institutional trust in Croatia during the Covid-19 crisis
Low levels of trust in institutions in a post-socialist context is a relatively well-documented finding across various disciplines. Building upon this, the paper adds new insights to this discussion by contextualizing institutional trust amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia. Relying on the results from the national probabilistic sample, the authors explore how three sets of predictors – socio-demographic variables, individual characteristics (…
“We would love to, but…”—needs in school integration from the perspective of refugee children, their parents, peers, and school staff
Existing research on the education of refugee children has been conducted in countries with a longstanding tradition of refugee integration. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the integration process of refugee children in Croatian schools. Croatia is a small EU country with limited experience in refugee integration. The phenomenological approach was used to examine the experiences and perspectives of the relevant actors. Interviews a…
One Size Does Not Fit All: Multiculturalism, Assimilationism, and Identity Among Majority and Minority Groups in Two New-Established Democracies
This study compared attitudes toward multiculturalism and assimilationism among three ethnic groups (Serbs, Croats, and Hungarians) in two neighboring countries (Croatia and Serbia). Additionally, this study examined the predictive role of ethnic identity on aforementioned attitudes directly and indirectly via symbolic threat. The results showed that Croats and Serbs had less positive multicultural and more positive assimilationist attitudes when…
Longitudinal effects of direct and extended intergroup contact in multi-ethnic communities in Croatia
The purpose of this study was to examine the reciprocal longitudinal associations between different measures of direct and extended intergroup contact and various intergroup outcomes among majority and minority adolescents from four intergroup contexts in the Republic of Croatia. The research was carried out in two waves on a sample of 1,150 elementary and high school students, members of Croatian majority, and Serbian, Hungarian, Czech, and Ital…
Deeds, not words: Understanding intergroup apology and forgiveness from different sides of conflict
Need satisfaction in intergroup contact: A multinational study of pathways toward social change
What role does intergroup contact play in promoting support for social change toward greater social equality? Drawing on the needs-based model of reconciliation, we theorized that when inequality between groups is perceived as illegitimate, disadvantaged group members will experience a need for empowerment and advantaged group members a need for acceptance. When intergroup contact satisfies each group's needs, it should result in more mutual supp…
Competing collective narratives in intergroup rapprochement: A transgenerational perspective
In the context of an ethnically divided community, we explored the role of competing group narratives for intergroup rapprochement after violent conflict. In Study 1, data from a community survey conducted in Vukovar, Croatia, among 198 Croats, the local majority, and 119 Serbs, the local minority, were analysed to gain perspective on different narratives about the recent war and effects they may have on intergroup relations. In Study 2, focus gr…

Intergroup Threat as a Mediator of Ethnic Identification and Intergroup Orientations
In Croatia, four minority groups practice their right to education in their respective mother tongues. Relations between the majority and minority groups in the four multiethnic communities have developed under different historical circumstances. Thus, in some regions the different language of the minority and the majority group can be perceived as a threat to identity and result in intergroup prejudice and discrimination, whereas in others it mi…
Parental competitive victimhood and interethnic discrimination among their children: The mediating role of ethnic socialization and symbolic threat to the in‐group
Links between competitive victimhood and discrimination are well documented. However, the mechanisms how victimhood beliefs remain relevant for decades and how conflict survivors can shape attitudes and behaviours of the post-conflict generations are little understood. Following the Transgenerational Transmission Hypothesis and the Integrated Threat Theory, we propose that the link between parental competitive victimhood and discrimination among …
Complexity of Risk: Mixed-Methods Approach to Understanding Youth Risk and Insecurity in Postconflict Settings
In settings of intergroup conflict, identifying contextually relevant risk factors for youth development is an important task. In Vukovar, Croatia, a city devastated during the war in former Yugoslavia, ethno-political tensions remain. The current study utilized a mixed-methods approach to identify two salient community-level risk factors (ethnic tension and general antisocial behavior) and related emotional insecurity responses (ethnic and nonet…
The political socialization of youth in a post-conflict community
Ideološki stavovi većinske grupe u dvije višeetničke sredine
Istraživanje se bavi aktualnom temom ispitivanja uloge socijalnog konteksta na formiranje stavova vecinske grupe prema dvije temeljne orijentacije koje određuju odnose grupa u viseetnickim sredinama - prema multikulturnosti i asimilacionizmu. Vecina istraživanja u podrucju međugrupnih stavova i ponasanja fokusira se na razlike između vecinske i manjinske grupe, no rezultati provedenog istraživanja jasno pokazuju da etnicka vecina nije homogena u …
