Do we have to teach them to be culturally sensitive
The authors studied cultural sensitiveness among students of first-, second- and third-year social work education in Israel. Students were screened for prejudice and for cultural sensitivity.

A weak relationship between prejudice, cultural sensitivity and gender appears during the third year of studies. So…

The present study examines the individual, family, and social resources that influence the academic adjustment of Ethiopian students as compared to Israeli students. More specifically, the study examines the influence of sense of coherence, coping styles, family cohesion and adaptability, and social support on the academic adjustment of these two populations.

The present study explores how 145 social workers, comprising about 70% of those who treat new immigrants in the northern part of Israel, perceive fam…
