“…As mentioned earlier in the paper, this study is a continuation of previous studies conducted in Australia. The findings in this paper are similar to the previous ones (see Yahya andBoag 2014a, 2014b) that also found that family pressure plays a significant role in the choice of partners. If an individual's family is not supportive of the relationship, it is less likely to be successful.…”

“…The current paper builds on earlier research on attitudes towards interfaith and crosscultural intimate relationships that focused on Australian undergraduate students (see, Yahya andBoag 2014a, 2014b). The questions here, therefore, were drawn from the same questionnaire translated into Hebrew.…”

“…These events and more have largely alienated the Palestinians in Israel (see Smooha 2010 for more background information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict). Therefore, it is inevitable that the Palestinians and the Jews are bound to have a basic mutual distrust (Yahya et al 2012;Smooha 2010). This endemic state of tension, as a result of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, creates immense social pressure on both groups involved in this ongoing conflict.…”

“…The interview questions were developed following a study conducted on the subject of parental attitudes toward bilingual, peace-promoting schools in a conflict-ridden area (Yahya, Bekerman, Sagy, & Boag, 2012). The questions were taken from a larger study and related to biographic and demographic information of the participant and to examine issues relating to experience with, and attitudes toward, cross cultural and interfaith relationships (both friendly and romantic).…”

This article addresses the relationship between religious and=or cultural affiliation and attitudes toward cross-cultural and interfaith relationships among university students in Australia. The questions of interest were as follows:(1) what is the relationship between the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and attitudes toward interfaith dating and marriages, and (2) how do the participants perceive their religious backgrounds to impact on their decisions to enter or avoid cross-cultural and interfaith relationships? Using semistructured interviews, qualitative data were gathered from 57 students (42 women, 15 men, mean age 21.9 [SD 8.8]). The findings suggest that university students in Australia (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) are generally disinclined to engage in a cross-cultural or interfaith relationship. Only some participants in the present study were open to engaging in a cross-cultural and interfaith relationship, provided the partner was neither too religious nor demanded for the participants to change in any way. However, none of these participants was actively searching for a partner of a different culture or faith. Finally, there was a clear reluctance by non-Muslim participants to be with a Muslim partner.

“…Contacts characterized by equality in status, common goals, cooperation and support from institutions shown to be especially effective. However, as Yahya et al (2012), among others, have noted, while several studies emphasize the positive bene ts of integrated schooling, particularly in promoting cross-community friendships, others are more ambiguous, suggesting that it has little or no impact in terms of promoting shared cultural outlooks (Hayes, et al, 2007).…”

Abstract:The aim of the current study was to monitor the changes that individual participants experienced as a result of taking part in a peace education program. The findings of prior analyses led to the understanding that participating in a peace program does not always ensure positive changes and may even cause a regression in attitudes. The present study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the researchers learned about the processes that participants underwent during a peace education program and accordingly, a reinforcement program to restore/rehabilitate any negative attitudes was formed. In the second stage, the effectiveness over time of this reinforcement program was evaluated. The study's findings show that engaging in reflection about the workshop content, especially when it is oriented towards positive thinking, is effective in reinforcing attitudes among participants who underwent a positive change in attitudes, and at the same time helps to rehabilitate attitudes among those participants who underwent a negative change. It is recommended that future peace education programs include at least three parts: preliminary preparation, the program itself, and follow-up/reinforcement activity after completion of the program.
