“…The hypothesized association between acculturation and heightened sensitivity to socially hurtful events was previously confirmed in Lu et al (2017). In that study, a heightened social pain sensitivity was only found among people weakly identifying with the new culture (e.g., weak identification with its values, customs, and people).…”

“…We anticipate that recalling social exclusion experience leads to a lowered performance on the Stroop task (relative to those recalling social inclusion). Furthermore, based on prior findings (Lu et al, 2017), we anticipate this effect to be more pronounced among acculturating individuals with weaker host culture acculturation.…”

“…Complementing this approach, an increasingly influential approach is to examine ways in which individuals cope with the stress and difficulties experienced in acculturation (Berry, 2006;Demes & Geeraert, 2015;Ward & Kennedy, 2001). Lu et al (2017) took this approach with the specific focus on the interpersonal relationship domain. Lu and colleagues hypothesized and found that to cope with interpersonal difficulties experienced during acculturation, individuals experience a heightened response to socially hurtful events.…”

“…Study 2b was conducting with immigrants in the United States. We anticipate that a salient social exclusion experience would lead to a stronger reaction, especially among participants with weak host culture acculturation, who may face greater challenges in the new culture including interpersonal challenges and difficulties (Lu et al, 2017).…”

“…Considering interpersonal relations, the international migrants must solve problems related to geographical barriers, herewith maintaining close ties with their family and friends left in their native countries. At the same time, they face the challenge of developing new interpersonal ties in a new cultural context (Lu, Hamamura, and Chan 2017).…”

The economic openness of European Union (eu) countries causes the constant international migration of the inhabitants inside the eu and beyond its borders. This research revealed the international migration flows of eu highlighting the depopulation problems of some eu countries interrelating them with the economic factors of international migration. Analysing the current statistical trends, the projections of population changes were extrapolated in migrants attracting and depopulating eu countries. The statistical probabilities to reduce the emigration were calculated for the most depopulating eu countries.

IntroductionSocial pain is an emotional reaction which is triggered by social exclusion and has been extensively investigated in the literature. The Social Pain Questionnaire (SPQ) is a self-report instrument which is the only scale for measuring social pain as a dispositional factor. The current study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the SPQ in an Iranian sample.Materials and methodsA sample of participants (N = 400) was recruited in a cross-sectional validation study. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) as well as Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted. The Item Response Theory (IRT) model parameters were evaluated and item response category curves were presented. Convergent and divergent validities as well as the reliability (by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient) were also assessed.ResultsThe SPQ’s unidimensionality was affirmed (RMSEA = 0.078; CFI = 0.915; TLI = 0.99) and its internal consistency was robust (Cronbach’s α = 0.94). The correlation between the SPQ and the following measures endorsed its divergent and convergent validity: Self-esteem (r = −0.424), Perceived Social Support (r = −0.161), and Interpersonal Sensitivity (r = 0.636). Finally, Item Response Theory Analysis emphasized the effectiveness of the SPQ items in discerning various levels of social pain. The theta level ranged between −1 and + 1.2 and the IRT-based marginal reliability was 0.92 for the total score.DiscussionThe Persian SPQ stands as a reliable and valid measure for evaluating social pain. This scale has the potential to stimulate further research in the field for both clinical and non-clinical settings.ConclusionBy employing Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis, we have transcended the theoretical psychometric evaluation of the SPQ scale and demonstrated that SPQ is a unidimensional, valid and reliable measurement tool.
