“…Compare this to Hong Kong and Macau, where public discourses still make references to the British and Portuguese administrative years, which ended about 20 years prior to the date of the study. But even if the presence of British in Malaysia is not seen as a post-colonial phenomenon, one would still expect that polyculturalism would be positively associated with attitudes toward the British, as previous studies show that polyculturalism is positively associated with attitudes toward foreign nationals (Bernardo et al, 2013; Rosenthal et al, 2019).…”

“…Pertaining to within-society intercultural contact, research on ethnically diverse communities in the United States has shown that belief in polyculturalism is associated with stronger interest in and appreciation of diversity, and with comfort with cultural differences (Rosenthal and Levy, 2010, 2012), with willingness for intergroup contact and friendship intentions with people from different ethnic groups (Rosenthal and Levy, 2016), and positive behavioral intentions and policy attitudes related to Muslim Americans (Rosenthal et al, 2015). Pertaining to between-society intercultural contact, polyculturalism is also associated with more positive attitudes and friendship intentions toward people from foreign countries (Bernardo et al, 2013), toward migrant groups (Rosenthal et al, 2019), less prejudice toward refugees (Healy et al, 2017), and cognitive empathy for actors in intercultural situations (Salanga and Bernardo, 2017).…”

Polyculturalism and Attitudes Toward the Continuing Presence of Former Colonizers in Four Postcolonial Asian Societies

et al. 2019

Polyculturalism is the lay belief that cultures are dynamically interconnected and mutually influencing each other historically and in contemporary times. Belief in polyculturalism is associated with various positive intergroup outcomes in intercultural social contexts, but it has never been studied in relation to intergroup attitudes in postcolonial societies. Two studies with participants from four postcolonial Asian societies (total N = 1,126) explore whether polyculturalism will also be associated with positive attitudes toward the continuing presence of former colonizers. The historical colonial experience may be socially represented positively or negatively in different societies, and in this context, the studies inquire into whether current attitudes toward former colonizers are positively associated with the belief in polyculturalism. In two studies (after controlling for belief in multiculturalism, genetic and social constructivist lay theories of race, and national identity) polyculturalism was positively associated with favorable attitudes toward continuing presence of former colonizers in Hong Kong, Macau, and Jakarta, but not in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and Wonosobo, Indonesia. The positive association with polyculturalism was found only in the three societies with a high degree of intercultural contact, where the core beliefs of polyculturalism may be more meaningful. The results are discussed in terms of how intergroup relations between former colonizers and colonized peoples are forms of between-society intercultural contact that are also influenced by intergroup lay theories.

“…Polikulturalisme dianggap menumbuhkan sikap dan perilaku antar kelompok gender, etnis, dan agama yang lebih positif dengan meminimalisasi batasan budaya di satu sisi, sementara pada sisi lain menekankan persamaan dalam hubungan di antara anggota kelompok yang berbeda, sembari tetap mengakui pentingnya identitas asal . Dalam beberapa penelitian terdahulu dijelaskan bahwa terdapat empat komponen dari polyculturalism, yaitu adanya kemauan untuk kontak antar kelompok dan inter-group attitudes yang positif terhadap individu dari kelompok minoritas atau sub-ordinate, serta kelompok migran (Bernardo et al, 2013;Rosenthal et al, 2015Rosenthal et al, , 2019, prasangka antar kelompok yang lebih rendah (Healy et al, 2017), kemampuan untuk bersikap evaluatif dan berfungsi secara efektif dalam lingkungan yang beragam (Bernardo & Presbitero, 2017), sikap positif terhadap akomodasi dan percampuran budaya (Cho et al, 2017).…”

The level of conformity determines personal unwillingness to engage with another social group. Conformity is a type of individual adaptability to a social group affected by social influence. Polyculturalism is defined as the belief that cultures constantly change through different racial and ethnic groups’ interactions, influences, and exchanges by not losing ethnic/group’s identity. This study aims to know the effect of conformity to Polyculturalism on college students from the outer region in Malang City. This research uses quantitative methods with purposive sampling. One hundred seventy-seven respondents gathered from regional organization members who live in regional dormitories. This research used five items of the Polyculturalism scale and eight items from the conformity scale. This study showed a positive correlation between conformity and Polyculturalism (R=0,372, P=0,000<0,005). The contribution of conformity to Polyculturalism is 13,8%.

“…There is also a theoretical basis for a positive association between CQ and polyculturalism, as numerous studies have documented the positive relationship between polyculturalism and intercultural attitudes or behavioral intentions. For example, endorsement of polyculturalism is positively associated with interest in and appreciation of diversity (Rosenthal & Levy, 2010;2012), willingness to engage in intergroup contact and build friendships with people from other cultural or ethnic groups (Rosenthal, Levy, London, & Lewis, 2016) or other countries (Bernardo, Rosenthal, & Levy, 2013;Rosenthal, Ramirez, Levy, & Bernardo, 2019), and less negative attitudes toward cultural minorities and refugees (Healy, Thomas, & Pedersen, 2017;Rosenthal, Levy, Katser, & Bazile, 2015). More pertinent to the December 2019 ½Vol.…”

The ability to function effectively in intercultural contexts is increasingly important in our globalized world. This ability has been conceptualized as cultural intelligence (or CQ), and many studies have focused on the factors associated with high CQ. The present study explored personality traits and the lay theory of polyculturalism as factors that predict CQ in two cultural groups (300 Chinese, 247 Filipinos) of university students. The respondents completed a questionnaire that included scales measuring the Big Five personality factors, polyculturalism, and CQ. Hierarchical regression analyses of questionnaire responses from the two samples indicated that consistent with the previous literature, openness to experience and polyculturalism positively predicted CQ in both samples; in addition, emotional stability predicted CQ among the Chinese, and conscientiousness predicted CQ among the Filipinos. The results are discussed in terms of cultural similarities and differences in the experience of CQ. Kepribadian, Polikulturalisme, dan Kecerdasan Budaya: Studi Survei Lintas-Budaya AbstrakKemampuan untuk berfungsi secara efektif dalam konteks antarbudaya semakin penting di era globalisasi. Kemampuan ini telah dikonseptualisasikan sebagai Kecerdasan Budaya (cultural intelligence atau CQ). Banyak penelitian telah dilakukan untuk berfokus pada faktor-faktor yang berkaitan dengan CQ yang tinggi. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi ciriciri kepribadian dan teori awam (lay theory) tentang polikulturalisme sebagai faktor yang memprediksi CQ dalam dua kelompok budaya pada mahasiswa (300 orang Tionghoa, 247 orang Filipina). Para responden mengisi kuesioner yang mencakup skala pengukuran faktor kepribadian big five, polikulturalisme, dan CQ. Analisis regresi hierarki dari respon jawaban kuesioner di kedua sampel menunjukkan bahwa konsisten dengan literatur terdahulu, tipe kepribadian keterbukaan terhadap pengalaman dan polikulturalisme secara positif memprediksi CQ di kedua sampel. Selain itu, stabilitas emosi memprediksi CQ di kalangan orang Tionghoa, dan tipe kepribadian conscientiousness memprediksi CQ pada orang-orang Filipina. Hasil penelitian dibahas dalam hal persamaan budaya dan perbedaan-perbedaannya dalam pengalaman CQ.
