Understanding Online Hate Toward Sexual and Gender Minorities: A Systematic Review
Online hate speech (OHS) refers to discriminatory or offensive content shared via digital platforms that targets social groups. Synthesizing evidence on OHS directed at sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) is crucial, given the disproportionate online discrimination experienced by SGM people and its implications for well-being and social norms. This PRISMA-based systematic review synthesized quantitative studies in which the target of OHS content …
Third‐Party Intervention to Address Gender Microaggressions Among College Students: The Role of System Justification Beliefs and Contact With Counter‐Stereotypical Women
Third‐party intervention against gender‐based microaggressions in the university context helps mitigate harmful effects of these experiences and creates a more supportive environment. The present study aimed to contribute to this line of research by investigating the extent to which system justification ideologies—that is, hostile and benevolent sexism and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO)—and contact with counter‐stereotypical women are related…
Multiculturalism in dominant ethnic populations: A transnational profile analysis
Following a person-centered approach, the present study investigates support for multiculturalism of dominant ethnic members. Using Latent Profile Analysis, the current investigation aimed to identify subgroups of dominant ethnic participants and examine potential difference in their endorsement of multiculturalism towards subaltern ethnic groups. Based on the existing literature, subgroups of dominant members were identified along with the combi…
“A long journey to happiness”: The young immigrants’ experiences through the Transconceptual Model of Empowerment and Resilience
The interplay of community resilience potential, trust in the future and social well‐being
Community resilience (CR) has been mainly investigated as the ability of the community to respond to far‐reaching circumstances. Relatively less attention has been given to the understanding of CR as the ability of the community to deal with everyday problems, that is, community resilience potential (CRP). Using partial least squares path modelling, this study aims to elucidate how communities deal with issues that trouble their everyday function…
Immigrant collective civic action: Integrating group resilience into the social identity model of collective action
Based on the social identity model of collective action (SIMCA), this study examined factors associated with immigrant collective civic action, while also testing the role of group resilience. A convenience sample of 226 first‐generation immigrants (58.6% female) of different nationalities completed a self‐report questionnaire. Partial least squares path modelling was used to test a model assessing the relationship between national and ethnic ide…
Community resilience and the acculturation expectations of the receiving community
The study addressed how communities cope with multiculturalism by exploring the relationship between community resilience (CR) and acculturation expectations held by a sample of Italian‐born. Specifically, the study aimed at detecting whether the perception of living in a community endowed with social (CR‐connection and caring) and material (CR‐resources) resources, along with the availability of individual assets (i.e., psychological resilience)…
The Representation of Immigration. A Retrospective Newspaper Analysis
The article reports a comparative study of the representation of migration in media from three countries (Greece, Italy, and Turkey), over 2001–2018 period. Analysis showed the salience of two main frames – the view of migration as a matter of security and human beings as well. Themes framing the media discourses on migration are grounded on a semantic structure that is quite similar across the three countries compared, despite their considerable…
