“…The Likert scale developed by Hague (2015) consists of six items (cited in Bozdağ & Kocatürk, 2017). The scale developed by Olonisakin and Adebayo (2021), on the other hand, does not confine the groups in which the individual may display xenophobia to immigrants, aliens or foreigners from other countries; handles the concept of xenophobia from a much broader perspective taking into account religion, ethnic grouping and other cultural elements in a society.…”

“…We considered that introducing an instrument that can measure the multidimensional structure of xenophobia into the Turkish literature is crucial. From this perspective, we aimed to adapt the Xenophobia Scale developed by Olonisakin and Adebayo (2021) into Turkish culture. This scale includes items that measure the fear of ethnic, religious, economic, and political groups.…”

In this research, we aimed to adapt the Xenophobia Scale developed by Olonisakin and Adebayo (2021) into Turkish. We conducted research on two separate study groups comprising 563 teacher candidates. Before starting the adaptation process of the scale, we obtained necessary permissions from the authors, who developed the original form. When developing the translation form, we removed two of the scale items from the instrument because they were not suitable for the Turkish culture. Afterwards, we performed an item analysis and found that the item correlations of two of the items in the scale remained less than the threshold value of .30. We removed the two items in question, thereby leaving 20 items in the scale. In the applied EFA and CFA, we obtained a two-dimensional structure that overlaps with the original form of the scale. In the reliability analysis, we determined that the internal consistency coefficients exceeded .70 criterion values for both subscales. In conclusion, the results we acquired from psychometric analyses indicate that the Turkish form of the Xenophobia Scale yielded valid and reliable measurements.

“…Olonisakin ( 2019) reported a Cronbach's alpha of .84. This measure is positively associated with a tendency to justify the system (Olonisakin, 2019) and harsh social attitudes such as ingroup-centeredness and ingroup exclusivity (Olonisakin & Adebayo, 2021).…”

“…For example, religious and genetic theories which appeal to the moral and intellectual justification of group-based inequality (Pratto et al, 1994;Pratto et al, 2006) Social attitudes that favour discrimination and the outcomes they facilitate are the channels through which inequalities are maintained in societies. Such attitudes are likely to lead to the support of policies, processes, structures, and institutions that help to institutionalise and perpetuate oppression and discrimination (Olonisakin & Adebayo, 2021;Pratto et al, 2006). In an environment that requires cooperation, healthy competition, tolerance, and trust such as a university environment, these attitudes are likely to produce negative outcomes in social interaction.…”

Social inequality or inequity is existent in every society. As such, most societies dedicate efforts to ensuring fairness and justice for all its members. The university environment constitutes a miniature society on its own and everyday broader realities of the larger society are equally applicable within the university. The attitude that students hold with regards to social inequality could be a function of their worldviews which act as guiding principles for social conduct. In this study, the worldviews of self-transcendence and just-world beliefs were examined in relation to support for affirmative action and social dominance orientation among students. The study employed a survey approach with data collected through questionnaires from a sample of 331 (62.8% female) undergraduate students in a public university. The authors hypothesized that self-transcendence and just-world beliefs would be positively associated with support for affirmative action and negatively with social dominance orientation. Result of data analysis using structural equation modelling confirmed the hypotheses in this study. However, the relationship between just-world beliefs and social dominance orientation was not significant. Results were discussed for their implications for acceptance of social policies that try to bridge the gap between dominant and marginalised groups. The implication of findings for understanding and managing interaction between groups in an educational setting were emphasised. Recommendations were made regarding how policy makers can use knowledge of worldviews held by student in designing strategies geared towards acceptance of policies targeted at ensuring positive outcomes for members of disadvantaged groups. Suggestions for future research were given.

South Africa is divided along race lines and this has made social integration difficult to achieve in the nation. The aspiration for the rainbow nation since the end of apartheid has been a country united in its diversity. Research evidence shows that interracial trust and interaction are still very low in the nation. This study set out to examine the determinants of support for social integration in South Africa. The variables of perceived improvement in race relations, social distrust, and racial identification were examined. Data were sourced from the South African Social Attitudes Survey 2017. Participants were 2,946 men (38.9%) and women (61.1%) with the age range of 16 to 99 years. Data analysis showed that perceived improvement in race relations, social distrust, and racial identification were all associated with increased support for social integration. However, a low level of social distrust provides the best outcome for support for social integration. Equally, identifying with one's racial group is likely to be beneficial for increasing social contact between groups. Findings were discussed based on the peculiarity of South African society and existing literature. The implication of the findings for policies and programmes to facilitate social contact and social cohesion was emphasised.
