Beyond singular perspectives: Minority-group members’ acculturation expectations and tightness
Previous research has established that ethnic minority groups experience specific acculturation expectations from the majority group. However, this research has largely ignored minority-group members’ expectations toward their own group and its heterogeneity. Sampling 327 Haredi Israeli minority-group members, the present study had three main objectives: (1) Identify the acculturation expectations individuals hold toward their minority group; (2)…
Experienced, Enthusiastic and Cautious: Pedagogy Profiles in Emergency and Post-Emergency
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has generated one of the most significant global disruptions to education systems in generations. Purpose: This study aims to examine the link between the profiles of teachers identified over the course of the period of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) as “experienced”, “enthusiastic”, or “cautious”, and their willingness to incorporate new pedagogical practices that adapt to the new virtual teaching environments.…
Psychological and Sociocultural Adaptation of Immigrant Youth
The chapter looks at the extent of their adjustment in school and their behavioral problems. It discusses the conceptual and empirical background to our broad questions, and the instruments used to measure the constructs. The chapter presents a comparative overview of adaptation patterns across the different countries. It compares the adaptation of immigrant youth in the different societies of settlement. Although adaptation is of significant con…

Hidden and actual dropout from the education system among adolescents of Ethiopian origin in Israel
This paper examines aspects and predictors of actual and hidden dropout among immigrant students in general, and among Israeli students of Ethiopian origin, in particular. A hidden dropout is a student who is often absent from school or physically in class but is passive and does not actively take part in the learning process. The subject of this study derives from research evidence showing that the dropout rates of Israeli adolescents of Ethiopi…
Reincarnation beliefs among Israeli Druze and the construction of a hard primordial identity
Most of the literature on reincarnation among the Druze attempts to shed light on its history and on those who believe in it. In this paper, we will argue that the Druze's belief in reincarnation serves as one of the central components in defining their ethno-religious identity. Our study is based on an analysis of 30 semi-structured interviews with Israeli Druze university students. Findings suggest that the belief in reincarnation plays an impo…
Teachers' Approaches Toward Cultural Diversity Predict Diversity-Related Burnout and Self-Efficacy
We examine the ways in which, and the extent to which, DOPA (Diversity in Organizations: Perceptions and Approaches; that is, asset, problem, challenge, or nonissue) approaches predict teachers' diversity-related burnout and immigration-related self-efficacy. One hundred thirty-six schoolteachers completed a self-report questionnaire measuring diversity-related burnout and self-efficacy, approaches toward cultural diversity, attitudes toward mult…
Perceived Discrimination and Well-Being Among the Ultra-Orthodox in Israel: The Mediating Role of Group Identity
We examined whether perceived discrimination can, in certain minority populations, promote subjective well-being, and whether this connection is mediated by minority group identity. Three hundred thirty-two members of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel, a distinctive religious culture within the Israeli majority culture, participated in the study. Results showed that perceived group discrimination was positively correlated with subject…

Perceptions of social strategies in intercultural relations: The case of Ethiopian immigrants in Israel
Realizing the Potential of Immigrant Youth
The well-being and productivity of immigrant youth has become one of the most important global issues of our times as a result of mass migration and resettlement. In this unique volume, leading scholars from multiple nations and disciplines provide a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary research on immigrant youth and delineate the most promising future directions for research on their success, suggesting implications for policy and interven…
Time and Context in the Relationship between Acculturation Attitudes and Adaptation among Russian-Speaking Immigrants in Finland and Israel
In this study we examine the time-, context- and outcome-specificity of the effects of acculturation attitudes on immigrant psychological and socio-economic adaptation. The participants were 172 immigrants from Russia and the former Soviet Union residing in Finland and Israel, and the mean time since their arrival was approximately six years. Each of the three acculturation attitudes (separation, assimilation and integration) was positively relat…
Threat and the majority identity.
This study grapples with the question of majority–minority relations in conflict-ridden societies. The ethnographic study analyzed data gathered in a dialogue course conducted at an Israeli university among Jewish and Palestinian students, all citizens of the State of Israel. The authors identified 4 different and interrelated components of threat as these were perceived by the Jews participating in the dialogue: a permanent existential threat, t…
Cultural identity and perceived success among Israeli immigrants: An emic approach
Acculturation Orientations Toward Two Majority Groups: The Case of Palestinian Arab Christian Adolescents in Israel
This study employs an expanded conceptualization and methodology of acculturation orientations to examine the identity and acculturation patterns of Palestinian Arab Christian adolescents in Israel, who can be seen as a "double minority"-Arabs in the midst of the majority Jewish population and Christians within Israel's dominantly Muslim Arab society. We examined the acculturation attitudes of 281 Palestinian Arab Christian adolescents in Israel …
Arab‐Jewish Bilingual Coeducation in Israel: A Long‐Term Approach to Intergroup Conflict Resolution
This article offers insights into a new educational adventure in Israel that attempts to overcome interethnic conflict through bilingual coeducation. These insights were gathered during a two‐year research project in which the authors followed the activities of two recently established Arab‐Jewish bilingual schools. Their analysis is based primarily on qualitative data of educational and sociocultural processes involved in the functioning and dev…
Cultural identity and adaptation in an assimilative setting: Immigrant soldiers from the former Soviet Union in Israel
Education in a plural society or multicultural education? The views of Israeli Arab and Jewish school counselors
We suggest that in societies with highly complex and conflictual cultural diversity, different perceptions of pluralism and multiculturalism are likely to be related to divergent expectations for multicultural education. Our study examines—through semi‐structured interviews—the perceptions of cultural pluralism and multicultural education among 37 Israeli school counselors from two national groups—Arabs and Jews. Our findings suggest that the maj…
Diversity-related burnout among teachers
The interactive nature of acculturation: Perceived discrimination, acculturation attitudes and stress among young ethnic repatriates in Finland, Israel and Germany
Acculturation Orientations: A Facet Theory Perspective on the Bidimensional Model
This study applies facet theory to validate Berry's bidimensional conceptualization and measurement of acculturation attitudes and its extension by Horenczyk to include acculturation expectations. Three components of facet theory (mapping sentence, confirmatory SSA [smallest space analysis], and SSA with external variables) are proposed as valuable tools for the purpose of cross-cultural validation and theory building. In total, 526 Israeli immig…

Gendered Patterns of Experience in Social and Cultural Transition: The Case of English-Speaking Immigrants in Israel
Ethnic Identity, Immigration, and Well‐Being: An Interactional Perspective
On the basis of existing theory and research regarding ethnic identity and immigration and our own empirical work in four immigrant‐receiving countries, we suggest an interactional model for understanding psychological outcomes for immigration. Specifically, the interrelationship of ethnic and national identity and their role in the psychological well‐being of immigrants can best be understood as an interaction between the attitudes and character…

Immigrants' Perceptions of Host Attitudes and Their Reconstruction of Cultural Groups
The acculturation of immigrants does not take place in a social vacuum; it occurs and unfolds itself within the context of intragroup and intergroup relations that provide at times the support and at times the challenge for the reconstruction of selves and identities. In his comprehensive and integrative review, John Berry points to the importance of contextual “societal” factors (subsumed under the “group‐level” category in his acculturation fra…

The role of teacher ideology in the teaching of culturally valued texts
The actualization balance of ethnic identity
The authors propose that individuals set limits to the actualization of their social and personal identities. Two studies investigated the notion of actualization balance, according to which identity-related decision making is affected by the actualization status of that identity. The first study found that people are more willing to allow nonactualization of Jewish ethnic identity to a person who recently actualized that identity than to an indi…
The role of teacher ideology in the teaching of culturally valued texts
Immigrant and host pupils' expectations of teachers
This study examined expectations of teachers on the part of immigrant pupils and their host peers, as well as the expectations which members of each of these groups attribute to their counterparts in the other group. Questionnaires were administered to 1710 pupils in Israeli primary and secondary schools—610 immigrants from the former Soviet Union and 1100 of their classmates. Immigrant and host respondents were asked to indicate the extent to wh…

Acculturation discrepancies and well-being: The Moderating Role of Conformity
This study examines associations of immigrants' well-being with the discrepancies they perceive between their own acculturation attitudes and the acculturation expectations of members of the host society. A hundred immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union reported their personal value priorities, their satisfaction with life, their attitudes towards acculturation, and their beliefs about what members of the dominant society require of th…
