Multicultural Teaching in Flemish Secondary Schools: The Role of Ethnic School Composition, Track, and Teachers’ Ethnic Prejudice

“…Teachers in vocational track have more opportunities to interact with ethnic minority pupils (Boone & Van Houtte, 2013; Khmelkov & Hallinan, 1999; Van Houtte & Stevens, 2009) and this may be related to more positive attitudes to diversity (Gay, 2010) and more tolerance of other cultures (Elchardus & Siongers, 2009). Although the track in which teachers teach is associated with their attitudes concerning cultural diversity (Gay, 2010) and their tolerance of other cultures (Elchardus & Siongers, 2009), the effects of track on specific dimensions of MCT have not been studied to date. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is no existing research regarding the processes that mediate the relationship between school structural characteristics, track, and MCT.…”

Cultural Capital and Attitudes Toward Homosexuals: Exploring the Relation Between Lifestyles and Homonegativity

“…Departing from the recently shown relationship between media use, general taste scheme, and cultural capital on the one hand and attitudes on the other (Bryson, 1996;Elchardus & Siongers, 2003, 2007, 2009a, 2009bGilliam Jr, 2002;Romer et al, 2003;van Eijck & Lievens, 2008), and the findings of some studies suggesting a cultural component of homonegativity (e.g. Osborne & Wagner, 2007), this paper has as its main goal to explore the relationship between cultural capital, expressed by lifestyles, and homonegativity, controlled for the standard model of homonegativity.…”

“…Moreover, this cultural component should be broader than mere media use, as the studies on, for example, general taste and attitudes show that media use as sole indicator of a cultural component is not appropriate (see e.g. Bryson, 1996;Elchardus & Siongers, 2003, 2007, 2009bvan Eijck & Lievens, 2008). We, therefore, suggest adding the broader concept of cultural capital, expressed by leisure consumption, to the model of homonegativity.…”

“…Studies looking at this more general taste scheme found a relationship between cultural capital and general openness (see e.g. Bryson, 1996;Elchardus & Siongers, 2003, 2007, 2009bvan Eijck & Lievens, 2008).…”

“…As general openness is related to cultural capital (Bryson, 1996;Elchardus & Siongers, 2003, 2007, 2009bvan Eijck & Lievens, 2008), we hypothesize that more cultural capital will be related with less homonegativity.…”
