Situational Effect

Abstract. Multiculturalism has been criticized and rejected by an increasing number of politicians, and social psychological research has shown that it can lead to outgroup stereotyping, essentialist thinking, and negative attitudes. Interculturalism has been proposed as an alternative diversity ideology, but there is almost no systematic empirical evidence about the impact of interculturalism on the acceptance of migrants and minority groups. Using data from a survey experiment conducted in the Netherlands, we examined the situational effect of promoting interculturalism on acceptance. The results show that for liberals, but not for conservatives, interculturalism leads to more positive attitudes toward immigrant-origin groups and increased willingness to engage in contact, relative to multiculturalism.

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.

This article provides an analysis of Tennessee’s newly signed Education Savings Account policy, a school choice initiative. The policy provides vouchers, in the form of a debit card, to students in grades K-12 who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line and are zoned to attend a Nashville, Shelby County, or Achievement School District school. Using the Policy Window Framework the author uncovers that the policy was created in a federal and state-level political convergence, which attempted to place equity at the forefront of the issue. However, using Levin's Comprehensive Education Privatization Framework, we can see that neoliberal ideals of choice and efficiency conquer equity in the finalized policy. The author predicts the outcomes of this new policy using this framework in tandem with 3 case studies: Louisiana Scholarship Program, DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, and Tennessee’s Individualized Education Accounts.

Insight Into

Research on literacy culture among santri puts forward survey-based research in which the results are the original results obtained for this study. Given the low reading interest that has been obtained for the Indonesian state, the results of this study specify the data that has been obtained in terms of literacy obtained. The students also need to know the literacy culture that is applied regardless of the activities in the Islamic Boarding School. Santri has several activities that can enhance the culture of literacy by the habit of reading the Qur'an which is a requirement in entering the boarding school environment. Santri is also prioritized in terms of reading yellow books to add insight into the religious life that has been composed by various famous scholars both from abroad and within the country. It is expected that by reading a lot of Al-Qur'an or various kinds of yellow books the discussion can improve the literacy culture in the Al-Qur'anyy Az-Zayadiyy Islamic Boarding School which can enhance the good name of the Islamic boarding school because of the influence of literacy culture to the outside world.Keywords: literacy culture, survey experiment, Islamic boarding schoolResearch on literacy culture among santri puts forward survey-based research in which the results are the original results obtained for this study.
