Effectiveness of schools with a mixed student body of natives and immigrants
Long-Term Effects of School Desegregation Experiences on Interpersonal Relations in the Israeli Defense Forces
Effects of school desegregation were assessed during basic training in the army. Soldiers completed cognitive, affective, and behavioral measures of interpersonal relations in their platoons. The pattern of current relations differed as a function of measure focus. Cognitive measures reflected asymmetry: Regardless of ethnic origin, all soldiers gave more positive evaluations to Western than Middle Eastern platoon members. Behavioral and affectiv…
Social and Academic Treatments in Mixed-ethnic Classes and Change in Student Self-concept
The efficacy of three pedagogical strategies for the enhancement of student academic and social self-concept in mixed-ethnic classes was examined among 594 Israeli children of varying status levels in their first year of junior high school. One treatment approach involved cooperative learning in small groups; a second approach employed a specially designed social relations programme; and the third approach presented the social relations programme…
Enhancing Intergroup Relations in Israel
Are Social Psychological Laws Cross-Culturally Valid
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of social psychological findings across cultures and subcultures in order to evaluate the cross-cultural validity of empirically based social psychological laws. Six studies were sampled from four major social psychological journals. Each study was replicated on two Israeli samples, one similar to that of the original study and the other differing in some respect. Results indicate that…

School Desegregation
International Tourism, Ethnic Contact, and Attitude Change
This study evaluates a cognitive intervention aimed at improving relations between ethnic groups in general, and between Israelis and Egyptians in particular. The intervention comprised a specially designed booklet about Egypt for Israeli tourists, given to them before their visit to that country. The intervention group included 352 Israeli tourists; 131 other Israeli tourists were not exposed to the booklet. Both groups toured Egypt, and both gr…
Objective versus Subjective Aspects of Interpersonal Relations between Jews and Arabs
Research has already revealed a number of variables affecting attitude change resulting from interethnic contact. These variables are invariably defined according to objective criteria (e.g., socioeconomic status). The present study concentrated on the effects of status and treatment, objectively as well as subjectively defined and measured, on attitudes of 302 West Bank Arabs working in 13 major industrial plants in Israel. Findings indicate tha…
Mutual Perceptions of Arabs and Jews in Israel
Mutual perceptions of Israeli Arabs and Jews were examined; 132 Jewish university students and 122 Arab teacher college students rated the social and intellectual characteristics of a typical Israeli Arab and a typical Israeli Jew on a semantic differential scale. The findings showed that (1) each group views itself more favorably that it does the other; (2) both groups agree that the Jew excels intellectually rather than socially, while the oppo…
Social and emotional problems associated with integration in the Israeli junior high school
Contact between Israelis and Arabs
Based on social-psychological research findings, generalizations can be made as to the effects of certain situational and personal variables in interethnic contact situations on the attitude change of the interacting individuals. The purpose of this paper is to try to arrive at conclusions regarding the effects of contact between Israeli Jews and West Bank Arabs on ethnic change, based on evaluation of the existing contact situations and their po…
Group status and attitude change in desegregated classrooms
Asymmetry, Academic Status, Differentiation, and the Ethnic Perceptions and Preferences of Israeli Youth
Ethnic attitudes and preferences of Jewish youth in Israel from Middle Eastern and Western ethnic background were investigated in this study. A multiscale questionnaire was administered to 1033 ninth-grade students in 30 classrooms from ethnically integrated schools in different parts of the country. Results indicated that the two groups perceived themselves as being markedly different from each other. However, (1) ethnic attitudes in this sample…
Situational and personal influence on attitude change following ethnic contact
The Role of Intergroup Contact in Change of Prejudice and Ethnic Relations
Verbal and Behavioral Aspects of Commitment among Arabs and Jews
Attitudes of Arabs and Jews in the Middle East with regard to dependability of either group suggest that the negative picture of one group about the other is similar to that of the second group about the first one. Are these attitudes based on valid group differences or do they reflect prejudice and stereotyped perceptions? Ethnographic studies suggest possible real differences in commitment behavior between the two groups. The present study exam…
Perceptual Articulation in Three Middle Eastern Cultures
The level of perceptual articulation of two Israeli subgroups and two Moslem groups were compared, namely, Israeli males of Western and Middle Eastern ethnic origin, an Arab, and an Iranian group. Predictions regarding differences between these groups in respect to perceptual articulation were based on analyses of the diverse childrearing practices typical of these groups and on inference regarding the probable influence these practices exert on …
Affiliative behaviour of approach‐ and avoidance‐motivated subjects in fear and anxiety situations
This study examined the effects of fear‐ and anxiety‐inducing situations on affiliative behaviour of approach‐oriented and avoidance‐oriented Ss. Two samples of high school and university students were utilized to examine the following hypotheses: a) In fear situations, affiliative behaviour will increase in both approach‐ and avoidance‐oriented subjects; b) in anxiety situations, affiliative behaviour will increase in approach‐oriented subjects …
Factors of Satisfaction and Importance in an Academic Setting
In order to examine aspects of Herzberg's two-factor theory of satisfaction in an academic setting, 262 students were studied. Specific aims of the study were: (a) identification of Motivation and Hygiene variables in an academic setting, and examination of the relationship between them; (b) identification of factors of importance and satisfaction, and examination of the similarity between them. The results do not support Herzberg's notion that g…
Effects of Interethnic Contact on Friendship Choices in the Military
In 51 field platoons of the Israeli army, 1,411 soldiers served as subjects in a study designed to examine to what extent interethnic contact influences willingness to accept, as close friends, soldiers from other ethnic groups. The soldiers' friendship choices were obtained on two occasions-one before and the other six weeks after interethnic contact in the army. Results indicate that at the beginning of basic training, soldiers of European ethn…
