“…Through a confirmatory factor analysis, we tested different structural models of the original instrument, confirming that the unifactorial model had the best fit to the data, and the internal consistency estimators presented adequate values. Also, correlational analysis showed that consistently with precedents studies, the attitude to multiculturality at school presented high negative significant relations with threat perception (Sirlopú & Van Oudenhoven, 2013;Spencer-Rodgers & McGovern, 2002;Stephan et al, 2005) and prejudice (Vedder et al, 2016;Velasco et al, 2008;Ward & Masgoret, 2008). Moreover, the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that threat perception together with prejudice explained a 42% of the attitude to multiculturality at school variability, supporting the scale criterion validity.…”

“…Besides, several studies have shown that host societies members attitudes to multiculturalism, are negative related to the degree in which newcomers are perceived as competitors for material or symbolic resources (Sirlopú & Van Oudenhoven, 2013;Spencer-Rodgers & McGovern, 2002;Stephan et al, 2005;Vedder et al, 2016;Velasco et al, 2008;Ward & Masgoret, 2008). Realistic threat consists on the idea that immigrant groups represent a risk for natives' access to welfare, job market or housing, and it can be perceived even when host society members' individual interests are not in conflict.…”

The increasing number of immigrant students on the Chilean educational system stresses the importance of study teachers’ attitudes to multiculturality in schools settings. Nevertheless, there is a lack of adequate measurement instruments to apply on Chilean population. The aim of this work was to validate the Attitude to Multiculturality at School Scale (León del Barco et al., 2007) on a Chilean sample, composed by N=160 teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the unifactorial model had the best fit to the data. Correlation analysis revealed significant relations between attitude to multiculturality at school, perceived out-group threat and prejudice. Linear regression analysis showed that perceived threat and prejudice explained 42% of the attitude to multiculturality at school variability, supporting criterion validity.

“…Los resultados de los análisis de correlación mostraron que, en efecto, en la medida en que aumenta la amenaza percibida (realista y simbólica), mayor es el prejuicio afectivo, en línea con los resultados de investigaciones anteriores (Aberson, 2019;Makashvili et al, 2018;Shepherd et al, 2018;Spencer-Rodgers y McGovern, 2002;Stephan et al, 2005;Vedder et al, 2016;Ward y Masgoret, 2008).…”

“…La literatura indica que el grado en que los miembros de las sociedades receptoras perciben a los inmigrantes como competidores por recursos materiales o simbólicos explica la producción de emociones negativas hacia este grupo, es decir, se asocia con un mayor grado de prejuicio y discriminación (Aberson, 2019;Makashvili et al, 2018;Shepherd et al, 2018;Spencer-Rodgers y McGovern, 2002;Stephan et al, 2005;Vedder et al, 2016;Ward y Masgoret, 2008).…”

El aumento de la matrícula de niños de origen inmigrante está generando nuevos desafíos para la educación Preescolar en Chile. Sin embargo, son escasas las investigaciones que indagan tanto en las actitudes de las educadoras hacia el colectivo inmigrante latinoamericano como en otras variables que pueden incidir en su construcción. Esta investigación exploratoria tuvo como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la amenaza exogrupal, la autoeficacia cultural y el prejuicio afectivo en una muestra de 153 estudiantes de la carrera de educación Preescolar; además, se buscó determinar la contribución de la amenaza exogrupal y la autoeficacia cultural percibida en la explicación del prejuicio. Los resultados indican que la percepción de amenaza exogrupal y la autoeficacia cultural explican el 34.4% variabilidad del prejuicio afectivo de las participantes. Se discute acerca de la relevancia de estos resultados en la formación de las estudiantes.

“…It has also been found to be associated negatively with one-group perceptions among majority and minority group members (Andrighetto, Vezzali, Bergamini, Nadi, & Giovannini, 2016), and is a mediator of both positive (Cakal, Hewstone, Guler, & Heath, 2016) and negative (Mahonen & Jasinskaja-Lathi, 2016; see also Aberson, 2019) direct contact effects. In addition, intergroup threat mediates the effects of both positive (Dhont & Van Hiel, 2011) and negative extended contact (Rupar & Graf, 2019), among both majority and minority group members (Vedder, Wenink, & van Geel, 2016).…”

In multiethnic countries, enhancing the sense of community and preventing ethnic segregation represents a major challenge. In this study we aimed to test the effects of different forms of intergroup contact in fostering sense of community among majority and minority ethnic groups in China, by focusing on the sense of the community at the national level. Methods: Participants were Han (N = 355, ethnic majority group) and Uyghur (N = 546, ethnic minority group) people at a multiethnic university in the Xinjiang province in China. Results: Results from path analysis revealed that positive direct contact for the minority, and positive extended and vicarious contact for both majority and minority group were indirectly associated with higher sense of Chinese national community via greater focus on positive characteristics of the outgroup. In addition, negative contact (extended contact for the majority; direct contact for the minority) were indirectly associated with lower sense of Chinese national community via reduced focus on positive outgroup characteristics. No evidence was found for negative focus (focus on negative outgroup characteristics) and intergroup threat as mediators. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings for improving intergroup relations in multiethnic and conflictual settings by using multiple forms of intergroup contact are discussed.In the report of the 19th National Congress of Communist Party (CPC) of China held in 2017, the General Secretary of the CPC, Chinese President XI Jinping stated that "We will heighten public awareness of ethnic unity and progress and create a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. We will encourage more exchanges and interactions among different ethnic groups, helping them remain closely united like the seeds of a pomegranate that stick together, and work jointly for common prosperity and development." This statement points to the importance of creating a community feeling that will allow individuals belonging to different groups to act together as a single community. This statement also suggests that enhancing a community feeling is an important aim that political institutions may be willing to pursue, and therefore investigating how to achieve this can have important real-world implications.
