Preparation, Development, and Refinement of the Interview Protocol in Qualitative Research
Interview protocols are by far the most common method utilized in qualitative research data collection. Novice and experienced researchers, from working on dissertations to grant proposals or other publications, often lack detailed interview design methods, as many educational programs do not require specific coursework on interview protocols and question development. To improve qualitative research, we make a proposal to incorporate an interdisc…

Behavioral economics and monetary wisdom
Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision‐making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains‐losses domain and high‐low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses domain) incites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. The Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, s…

The Right to Life and the Jus Ad Bellum
General Comment 36 of the Human Rights Committee, adopted in 2018, asserts that ‘States parties engaged in acts of aggression as defined in international law, resulting in deprivation of life, violate ipso facto article 6 of the Covenant.’ One question about this claim is whether it reduces incentives for compliance with international humanitarian law for States and their agents—incentives provided through the principles of belligerent equality a…
Handbook of Racism, Xenophobia, and Populism
Nationalism
Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation. Since I (Bruce E. Johansen) has written profusely about climate change (global w…
Legal
This article argues that, in certain circumstances, it is legal for a state to use force in self-defence in order to recover territory unlawfully occupied by another state as a result of an armed attack. Where occupation follows from an unlawful armed attack, the occupation is a continuing armed attack, and the attacked state does not lose its right to self-defence simply because of passage of time. It is argued that while it is trite law that te…
Implications of the Diversity of the Rules on the Use of Force for Change in the Law
This article analyses the structural conditions within the jus ad bellum that affect whether and how that law changes. In particular, it examines how the diversity of the rules that form the law relating to the use of force affects the development of rules permitting the use of force to protect human rights. After noting some areas where it has been argued that aspects of the law relating to use of force have changed as a result of evolving state…
Human Rights and Resort to Force
While the relationship between the jus in bello and international human rights law has been the subject of considerable debate, less attention has been paid to the relationship between the jus ad bellum and human rights. The United Nations Human Rights Committee’s General Comment 36 on the right to life, adopted on 30 October 2018, brought these questions to the fore with the Committee’s pronouncement that ‘States parties engaged in acts of aggre…
Economic Sanctions, International Law, and Crimes Against Humanity
Economic sanctions, unilateral and multilateral, have a long pedigree in international relations. From South Africa and Israel, to Iraq, Iran, and North Korea, such measures have, with varying results, been used in diverse contexts to influence the behavior of states. Some would celebrate the use of economic sanctions as a means of punishing “rogue states” for human rights violations or threats to the peace, while others would condemn it as “impe…
Conflict-induced Food Insecurity and the War Crime of Starvation of Civilians as a Method of Warfare
This article examines the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL) relevant to avoiding or minimizing conflict-induced food insecurity. It is important to consider these rules in order to appreciate the range of protections to which civilians are entitled. Understanding these rules is also essential for interpreting the relevant provisions of international criminal law, including, most notably, the war crime of starvation of the civilian pop…
Treaty Law and ICC Jurisdiction over the Crime of Aggression
This article examines the question of who will be subject to International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction with respect to the crime of aggression. One of the most contentious questions in the negotiations regarding the crime of aggression was whether the Court would have jurisdiction over nationals of a state that does not ratify the Kampala Amendments, but which is alleged to have committed an act of aggression on the territory of a state tha…

Beyond prejudice as simple antipathy
The authors argue that complementary hostile and benevolent components of sexism exist across cultures. Male dominance creates hostile sexism (HS), but men's dependence on women fosters benevolent sexism (BS)--subjectively positive attitudes that put women on a pedestal but reinforce their subordination. Research with 15,000 men and women in 19 nations showed that (a) HS and BS are coherent constructs that correlate positively across nations, but…

Clarifying Necessity, Imminence, and Proportionality in the Law of Self-Defense
The concepts of necessity, imminence, and proportionality play a central part in Daniel Bethlehem’s sixteen proposed principles regulating a state’s use of force against an imminent or actual attack by nonstate actors. While all three are requirements that must be considered in the law of self-defense, their exact content remains somewhat unclear. In this comment, we examine how each one is conceived in Bethlehem’s principles and review the quest…
International Law Immunities and the International Criminal Court
The tension between the protection of human rights and the demands of state sovereignty is reflected in the debate on whether state officials should be held responsible in external fora for international crimes committed while in office. This debate involves the interplay between two branches of international law. Firstly, there is the well-established law according immunities to the state and its agents from the jurisdiction of other states (sta…
The International Court of Justice and the Security Council
The end of the Cold War and the emergence of a one-superpower world have brought about what one may call the resurrection of the Security Council and a reactivation of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. Powers of a coercive nature vested by the Charter in the Security Council which for decades seemed like a dead letter have been rediscovered since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The Security Council, which until then had been deadloc…
Immunities of State Officials, International Crimes, and Foreign Domestic Courts
This article examines the extent to which state officials are subject to prosecution in foreign domestic courts for international crimes. We consider the different types of immunity that international law accords to state officials, the reasons for the conferment of this immunity and whether they apply in cases in which it is alleged that the official has committed an international crime. We argue that personal immunity (immunity ratione personae…

The International Law Framework Regulating the Use of Armed Drones
This article provides a holistic examination of the international legal frameworks which regulate targeted killings by drones. The article argues that for a particular drone strike to be lawful, it must satisfy the legal requirements under all applicable international legal regimes, namely: the law regulating the use of force (ius ad bellum); international humanitarian law and international human rights law. It is argued that the legality of a dr…

Demographic Effects on the Use of Vertical Sources of Guidance by Managers in Widely Differing Cultural Contexts
Data provided by 7380 middle managers from 60 nations are used to determine whether demographic variables are correlated with managers’ reliance on vertical sources of guidance in different nations and whether these correlations differ depending on national culture characteristics. Significant effects of Hofstede’s national culture scores, age, gender, organization ownership and department function are found. After these main effects have been di…
An Investigation Of Ethnic Differences In The Motivation And Strategies For Learning Of Students In Desegregated South African Schools
No significant ethnic group differences were found in the academic motivation or learning strategies of more than 200 White and 200 Black South African students from two recently integrated secondary schools. Both groups considered working hard and having interest in school tasks to be more important than competition or affiliation. The former items tended to be the best predictors in both groups of the use of deep learning strategies, which are …

A Cross-Cultural Ranking of Stressful Life Events in Germany, India, South Africa, and the United States
Five groups of college and university students (N= 555) from four countries ranked 32 life events according to the amount of stress each was perceived to cause. The analyses of the rankings revealed substantial agreement on the relative stressfulness of life events among Americans, Germans, Indians, non-White South Africans, and White South Africans. The results suggest that standard measures of life stress can be used cross-culturally with some …
The Internal Structure of the Self Description Questionnaire
This paper examines the appropriateness for Nigerian students of the Self Description Questionnaire - 1 (SDQ-1; Marsh, 1988) and the Shavelson model of self-concept on which it is based. The results of an administration of the SDQ-1 to 462 Nigerian 12-13 year-olds are reported. The item scale correlations and reliability coefficients obtained were encouraging. Factor analysis generally supported both the specific facets of the SDQ-1 and the exist…

Competition With One's Self Against Others as a Motive for Effort Among Nigerian High School Students
Influence of Urban-Rural Upbringing on Nigerian Students' Test Anxiety
To examine the effects of urban and rural upbringing on test anxiety 221 Nigerian high school students completed measures of test anxiety and environment/academic performance. Analysis showed that younger urban groups scored better than older rural groups in academic performance, rural students having high scores in environment/academic performance scales. The findings corroborate earlier work on urban and rural upbringing and text anxiety. Sugge…
Competition with One's Self against others as a Motive for Effort among Nigerian High School Students
Competition is, in fact, so widely used as a motive for effort among children at home, in school and in informal educational groups that we should review any justification for it offered by literature. A number of srudies on the effect of competition with oneself and others as facilitator in the classroom upon effort and learning show that, whether in Nigeria or other countries, among preschool, grade school, secondary school or postsecondary sch…
Assessing the Approaches to Learning of Nigerian Students
The reliability and validity of the Study Process Questionnaire (Biggs, 1987) is investigated for 352 Nigerian undergraduates. The concepts involved in the SPQ are relevant to Nigerian students and the SPQ scales and subscales were found to be of adequate internal consistency reliability for research purposes. This conclusion was further enhanced by the meaningful factor structure of responses to the SPQ subscales found for the Nigerian sample. H…
One More Time
Sponsors are the key to success in the corporate world. People jumped on the success train with tickets from their sponsors — their mentors. A mentor was defined as someone approximately ten to fifteen years older, successful, secure, mature, and thoroughly committed to the sponsorette's development; indeed, a cross between teacher, uncle, wet nurse, cousin, guru and sugar daddy. They are professionally paternalistic and serve in a “god-parent” r…

Sex differences in preferences for ideal female body shape
The investigator aimed to replicate on an African sample Fallon and Rozin's (1985); Huon, Morris, and Brown's (1990); and Tiggemann and Pennington's (1990) findings of sex differences in female body preferences. Males and females were asked to identify their ideal female body shape and the one they believed men and women in general would prefer. A simple analysis of variance and t test demonstrated a discrepancy between women's actual and preferr…
Aids-Related Beliefs and Behaviours of Students
Knowledge of belief and behaviour towards AIDS were assessed in a random sample of over 1400 University students aged 17 and over in Zimbabwe and Nigeria. The majority of the students engaged in a number of sexual practices despite being aware of the dangers of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Data indicated that there were no significant differences in the knowledge of AIDS across countries or between sexes. The determinants of knowledge …
The International Students at the University of Ibadan
The study reported here investigated the problems confronted by foreign students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria's premier academic institution and one of the oldest black institutions of higher learning in the black world. Two hundred and one volunteer foreign students completed Griffin's questionnaire. The results indicated that younger subjects are more adaptable to the social and pecuniary problems in Nigerian learning environment. The o…
The Relationship Between Adolescent Satisfaction and Goal Directedness
Data from a study of 59 adolescent University students were correlated using Spearman rank-difference coefficient (rho) to assess the extent to which the future could be predicted from these measures. The 58 adolescents' score on the Satisfaction Questionnaire and Purpose-in-Life Test showed data significantly supporting the hypothesis and its relationship to goal directedness. Male southerners' and graduate study oriented groups supported the hy…

Role Conflict, Ambiguity, and Overload
The extent of role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload reported by middle managers from 21 nations was related to national scores on power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. We adapted earlier role stress scales and assessed equivalence using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Role stresses varied more by country than by personal and organizational characteristics. Data were aggregated to the national l…
