The diversity of social connectedness experiences among older migrants in Australia
Ageing well in a foreign land: Group memberships protect older immigrants’ wellbeing through enabling social support and integration
Despite the numerous challenges of ageing in a foreign land, many older immigrants are fairly resilient and report experiencing good wellbeing. The key question that the present paper addresses is how this is achieved. Drawing on frameworks from cross-cultural and social identity literatures, the present study proposes and tests a model of serial multiple mediation that identifies possible mechanisms supporting the wellbeing of older immigrants w…
Home is Where the Heart is: Identity and Belonging Among Older Chinese Immigrants in Australia
Prologue: History, Themes, Analysis, and Rationale
In this Special Issue, we commemorate 40 years of publishing research in the Journal of Language & Social Psychology (JLSP). We first provide a brief glimpse of the history of the field of language and social psychology and the emergence of JLSP within it. This is then developed further by exploring the themes—and the relationships between them—arising over the four decades of the journal, by means of a Leximancer analysis of the titles and abstr…
Emotion and its Management: The Lens of Language and Social Psychology
In this paper, we briefly review the large research literature on emotion in social psychology, and show how it is now firmly embedded in language and communication. As a springboard, we look at the history of emotion studies in JLSP. Then, we consider theory and methodology, and evaluate how standard and more recent methods of measurement have led to new ways of looking at the communication of emotion, including in real-life contexts. We conclud…
Power and the pandemic: A perspective from communication and social psychology
The Covid-19 pandemic has overturned health, economic, and social systems everywhere in the world. As happens in a crisis, particularly one of this magnitude, this one has shown the best and the wo
The benefits of ethnic activity group participation on older immigrant well-being and host country adjustment
The Dynamics of Acculturation Among Older Immigrants in Australia
This study explores different acculturation pathways that older immigrants follow, and the social/cultural identities they claim (or do not claim), as they live and age in Australia. Data were collected from 29 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with older immigrants (65+ years) from nine cultural backgrounds. We used participants' self-defined cultural identity to explore how these cultural identities were enacted in different contexts. Mappin…
Predictors of employment status: A study of former refugee communities in Australia
ObjectiveThere is substantial evidence that refugees' employment experiences are marred by a range of hurdles as they settle in their host country. This study investigated the relationship between a range of independent variables such as, demographic factors, acculturation, acculturative stress, and resilience and the dependent variable that is the employment status of former refugees.MethodQuestionnaire data were gathered from 169 participants f…
Intergroup Communication: Identities and Effective Interactions
Intergroup relations have been studied systematically for more than 60 years and have become embedded in mainstream communication studies. The intergroup communication (IGC) approach provides a crucial level of understanding beyond the interpersonal and the societal, highlighting the interconnections and mutual influences between groups and individuals. In this paper, we briefly describe the main features and history of IGC, pointing to ways of m…
‘You don’t know what’s going on in there’: A discursive analysis of midwifery hospital consultations
In contemporary Western society, the concept of risk is mostly linked related to negative or undesirable outcomes and used to explain unusual or abnormal events that have harmful consequences. Working in a poststructuralist framework, in this article we examine how risk shapes interactions between midwives and pregnant women in the context of public hospitals in Australia. We draw on data from an observational study of clinical encounters in thre…
Refugee Parents’ Communication and Relations With Their Children: Development and Application of the Refugee Parent-Child Relational Communication Scale
The study had two goals: First, a 20-item “Refugee Parent-Child Relational Communication Scale ” was developed for parents from refugee backgrounds. Former refugee parents from Ethiopia, Congo, and Burma (= 221) completed this and other questionnaires measuring demographics, acculturation, and acculturative stress. Exploratory factor analysis indicated three factors: “Engagement,” “Hope and Aspirations,” and “Dissonance.” The subscales were inter…
Interpretation of Care Guidelines for Obese Women in Labor: Intergroup Language and Social Identity
The hospital-based care of pregnant women who are obese is complex. Current guidelines recommend early epidural analgesia, but there is disagreement about the guidelines and their implementation by anesthesiologists. In this study, we conducted semistructured interviews with 42 specialist anesthesiologists about their experiences implementing the "early epidural" recommendation. We examined the impact of intergroup identity and system factors on …
Translating Science: Using the Science of Language to Explicate the Language of Science
The articles in this special issue highlight the ways in which science communication, and in particular translational communication, implicates the nuances of language. This issue is the report of the Task Force on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) language set up by the International Association of Language and Social Psychology. The articles raise issues about the multiple stakeholders in science and their characteristic lang…
The Language of Science and Social Licence to Operate
Social licence to operate (SLO) is an informal agreement that infers ongoing acceptance of an industrial or energy project by a local community and the stakeholders affected by it. Negotiation of SLOs centrally implicates language and communication, including scientific language and concepts. We first review the literature about the definition and communicative features of SLOs, and their relation to scientific communication. We describe communic…
Intergroup Communication
Intergroup communication reflects a way of looking at communication among members of different social categories or groups (ethnicity, gender, age, health status, organizational membership, etc.), and the ways in which social identities, attitudes, and motivations influence and are negotiated in communication. The field has multidisciplinary origins, and it is diverse in theory and eclectic in methodology. This entry gives a broad overview of the…
Managing the pain of labour: Factors associated with the use of labour pain management for pregnant A ustralian women

Women's Use and Self-Prescription of Herbal Medicine during Pregnancy: An Examination of 1,835 Pregnant Women
Visualising conversations between care home staff and residents with dementia
People with dementia living in residential care often face the dual disadvantage of increasing difficulty with communication and reduced opportunities for conversation. Social interaction is central to wellbeing of residents with dementia, so it is important that care staff have the skills to engage in conversation with them. We studied conversations in 20 care staff–resident dyads, to examine conversation structure and content, patterns of engag…
Communication between hospital doctors: Underaccommodation and interpretability
Futile Treatment in Hospital: Doctors’ Intergroup Language
Treatment that will not provide significant net benefit at the end of a person's life (called futile treatment) is considered by many people to represent a major problem in the health sector, as it can waste resources and raise significant ethical issues. Medical treatment at the end of life involves a complex negotiation that implicates intergroup communication between health professionals, patients, and families, as well as between groups of he…
Integrating intercultural communication and cross-cultural psychology: Theoretical and pedagogical implications
While psychology and communication have borrowed theories and methodologies from each other, much scholarly discussion tends to focus on the flow from psychology to communication. Relatively less attention has been paid to the work in communication that adds to psychology, particularly in examining the processes of developing relationships with culturally different others. It is timely for us to look at how communication theory and methodology ha…

This study describes a series of evaluations of gender pairs of New Zealand English, Australian English, American English and RP-type English English voices by over 400 students in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S.A. Voices were chosen to represent the middle range of each accent, and balanced for paralinguistic features. Twenty-two personality and demographic traits were evaluated by Likert-scale questionnaires. Results indicated that the Amer…
Gay and Lesbian Identity Development: A Social Identity Perspective
This paper critically examines models of identity development from the perspective of social identity theory. It is argued that recent perspectives on homosexual identity development have focused upon psychological processes of the individual and that a shift toward a more social psychological perspective is required. Extant models of homosexual identity development and associated relevant evidence are described, and criticisms of these models ar…
Intergroup communication between hospital doctors: Implications for quality of patient care
Personality Judgements of Australian Aborigine and White Speakers: Ethnicity, Sex and Context
Eighty-four male and 84 female high-school students, who were urban whites, rural whites, or rural Australian Aborigines rated audiotapes of Aboriginal and white male and female speakers. Each speaker presented two standardcontent passages representing statusand solidarity-oriented contexts. Aboriginal students rated all speakers favourably, and rated Aboriginal speakers more favourably in the solidarity context. Rural white students, who had mor…
Strategies of Accommodation: Development of a Coding System for Conversational Interaction
This study describes a coding system developed to operationalize the sociolinguistic strategies proposed by communication accommodation theory (CAT) in an academic context. Fifty interactions between two students (of Australian or Chinese ethnic background) or a student and faculty member were videotaped. A turn-and episode-based coding system was developed, focusing on verbal and nonverbal behavior. The development of this system is described in…
Evaluative Reactions to Accented English: Ethnicity, Sex Role, and Context
A sample population of 48 Anglo-Australian and 49 Greek-Australian male and female high school students made personality evaluations of standard Australian English and Greek-Australian-accented English. Ratings were along two dimensions (status and solidarity), and each speaker was rated on three passages representing an achievement-oriented, public context (school), a situation of intimacy and friendliness (home), and a friendly interaction in a…
Personality Impressions Elicited by Accented English Speech
Eighty students, 40 male and 40 female, listened to tapes of male and female speakers from Australia, Britain, France, Greece, Italy, and Vietnam reading a short English passage. The aim of the study was to determine the impressions of an Australian-born audience to accented English speech and its effect upon judgments of the speakers' personalities. Factor analysis of the personality ratings revealed evaluative and dynamism dimensions. Results i…
Age Vitality Across Eleven Nations
This paper is the second in a series of empirical applications of the concept of (ethnolinguistic) vitality into the intergenerational arena. It examines young people's assessments of the subjective vitalities of young, middle-aged, and elderly targets in four Western (midwest USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) and seven south and east Asian sites (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, mainland China, The Philippines, and India). The resul…
College students' trait ratings of three age groups around the Pacific Rim
Turn taking: Social personality and conversational style
The temporal aspects of speaking style have long been of interest to social scientists, and a tradition of research in this area began with the development of the Interaction Chronograph (Chappie, 1939). Since that time, temporal variables have gained in importance in research, partly because they can be measured easily and reliably. Chappie's and subsequent research has shown that the frequency and duration of an individual's speech behavior in …
Communication accommodation and the prototypical speaker: Predicting evaluations of status and solidarity
Mapping a 40-Year History With Leximancer: Themes and Concepts in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology
This article presents a study using Leximancer (a text-mining tool for visualizing the structure of concepts and themes in text) to track the history of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology' s ( JCCP's) research articles. We included 1,416 articles mapped by decade. Results reveal a strong overall orientation toward experimental psychology, with an early emphasis on child development. In more recent years, there has been a strong emphasis on …
Communication accommodation between patients and health professionals: Themes and strategies in satisfying and unsatisfying encounters
This paper examines the relationship between remembered language behaviour and evaluations of interactions between patients and health professionals in hospital settings. One hundred and thirty‐four participants rated 16 descriptions of conversations on 13 items derived from Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT). A thematic analysis of the descriptions had suggested more interpersonal themes for the descriptions of satisfying interactions, and…
Group Allegiances and Perceptions of Media Bias: Taking Into Account Both the Perceiver and the Source
People have a tendency to view media reports of intergroup conflicts as biased against their own group (hostile media perception). However, limited research has been conducted investigating how group membership of the perceiver and group membership of the media source combine to influence perceptions of bias. Muslims and Christians in Indonesia (N = 212) read an article describing inter-religious conflict. The article was attributed either to a M…
Older adults' trait ratings of three age-groups around the Pacific rim
United we stand: Intergroup conflict moderates the intergroup sensitivity effect
Ingroup members who criticize their group face much less resistance than outgroup members who say the same thing (the intergroup sensitivity effect). In the context of intergroup conflict, however, it was predicted that treatment of ingroup critics would not be so generous. Muslim Indonesians read an extract from an interview in which the speaker criticized Muslims. The comments were attributed to either another Muslim or to a Christian. Before r…
Social Group and Moral Orientation Factors as Mediators of Religiosity and Multiple Attitude Targets
Although there is a tradition of examining generalized discrimination against multiple targets, recent studies have tended to consider race and homosexuality as separate targets without considering their relationship with each other. Recent studies have also argued for a moral dimension in attitudes to homosexuality, but this has not yet been explicitly modeled as an explanation for patterns of social attitudes. In a questionnaire study of practi…
Accent Accommodation in the Job Interview: Impact of Interviewer Accent and Gender
Using the framework of Communication Accommodation Theory, this study investigated the extent to which job applicants objectively and subjectively altered their accents to converge to or diverge from the speech style of the interviewer. Forty-eight male and 48 female job applicants participated in two interviews for a casual research assistant position. In one interview, the interviewer had a broad Australian English accent, and in the other one,…

The Language and Communication of Emotion: Universal, Interpersonal, or Intergroup
Reviews research and theory on the universality or group-based specificity of emotional language and communication in mainly cross-cultural and cross-sex interactions. The experience of emotion, its causes and antecedents, and its expression in language and nonverbal behavior is discussed, followed by an examination of individual differences in the accuracy of emotional coding and decoding from the perspective of social skills and skills deficits…
Perceived change in ethnolinguistic vitality by dominant and minority subgroups
This paper reports work on perceived ethnolinguistic vitality of Vietnamese‐ and Anglo‐Australians in Brisbane, as well as differences based on sex, level of education and, for Anglo‐Australians, residence in areas with either high‐ or low‐concentrations of Vietnamese‐Australians. As expected, Anglo‐Australians were perceived as much higher in vitality than Vietnamese‐Australians by all groups, while the latter were perceived as increasing marked…
Conversations Between Carers and People With Schizophrenia: A Qualitative Analysis Using Leximancer
We examined conversations between people with schizophrenia (PwS) and family or professional carers with whom they interacted frequently. We allocated PwS to one of two communication profiles: Low-activity communicators talked much less than their conversational partners, whereas high-activity communicators talked much more. We used Leximancer text analytics software to analyze the conversations. We found that carers used different strategies to …
Finding Common Ground in Team-Based Qualitative Research Using the Convergent Interviewing Method
Research councils, agencies, and researchers recognize the benefits of team-based health research. However, researchers involved in large-scale team-based research projects face multiple challenges as they seek to identify epistemological and ontological common ground. Typically, these challenges occur between quantitative and qualitative researchers but can occur between qualitative researchers, particularly when the project involves multiple di…
Patients' Interactions with Health Providers: A Linguistic Category Model Approach
Two studies investigated interactions between health providers and patients, using Semin and Fiedler's linguistic category model. In Study 1 the linguistic category model was used to examine perceptions of the levels of linguistic intergroup bias in descriptions of conversations with health professionals in hospitals. Results indicated a favourable linguistic bias toward health professionals in satisfactory conversations but low levels of linguis…

Eighty-eight (45 male, 43 female) Greek-Australian and 89 (43 male, 46 female) Anglo-Australian young people, all residents of a multi-ethnic city with relatively small immigrant groups, completed a self-administered questionnaire which explored sexrole orientation and stereotypes and attitudes to marriage. Greek-Australian subjects of both sexes described themselves as having higher levels of masculine traits, and to desire these traits more, th…
Decoding emotional messages: Influence of ethnicity, sex, message type, and channel
In this study, we predicted that sex of sender and receiver, ethnic group of sender, positivity of affect, and communication channel would all influence decoding of emotional messages. Thirty-four male and 47 female Anglo-Australian subjects viewed videotapes of male or female Australian, British, or Italian speakers, who each presented 18 content-ambiguous messages with positive, negative, or neutral affect. Subjects guessed the intended affect …
Predicting Impressions of Speakers from Voice Quality: Acoustic and Perceptual Measures
This study examined the relationship of an acoustic measure of speech based on the Long-Term Average Spectrum (LTAS), expert ratings of five voice qualities (breathy, creaky, nasal, tense, and whispery voices), and naive ratings of status and solidarity. Six male and six female speakers recorded a standard passage in the five voice types; these recordings were then analysed acoustically using the LTAS, judged by expert coders, and rated by underg…

Anglo-Australians’ and Immigrants’ Attitudes toward Language and Accent: A Review of Experimental and Survey Research
Research on the language attitudes of members of dominant and minority speech communities has special importance in countries such as Australia, where governments are in the process of developing a national language policy. Research in Australia suggests that Anglo-Australians remain strongly monolingual and Anglophile in their attitudes; they support educational programs on other languages mainly for their children's own educational advantage. I…

The psychological well‐being of infertile women after a failed IVF attempt: The effects of coping
One hundred infertile women and 73 female controls completed three measures of psychological well‐being (depression, self‐esteem and self‐confidence) on two occasions (Times 1 and 2), coinciding with the beginning and end of a failed IVF attempt by the infertile women. At Time 2, the IVF women were also asked to indicate whether they had used a number of different coping reponses, in relation to dealing with their failed IVF attempt. As predicted…
Prologue
This prologue to the special issue points to the diversity in research and theory on the communication of emotion and its relation to culture and to social power. Part of this diversity results from the fact that scholars work at different levels of analysis, concentrating on different aspects of emotion and its communication, and often paying little attention to the importance of other levels. In addition, there is not agreement on what counts a…

Evaluations of Interactions between Students and Academic Staff: Influence of Communication Accommodation, Ethnic Group, and Status
The purpose of this study was to examine the proposal of Communication Accommodation Theory that evaluations are affected by whether a speaker's behaviour is accommodative or nonaccommodative, by comparing the impact of ethnic group, status as a student or lecturer, accommodative behaviour, and the behaviour of the other interactant, on evaluations of power and solidarity. Anglo-Australian and Chinese overseas students and Australian academic sta…
Social Psychological Approaches to Using Natural Language Texts
In recent years, the trend toward using natural language texts in social-psychological research has grown increasingly strong and a number of diverse approaches to such texts have appeared in the literature.
