No Ordinary Life: Complex Narratives of Trauma and Resilience in Under-Resourced Communities

This investigation examines the occurrence and impact of chronic adversity for young adults who grew up amidst poverty and community violence. Young adults in such contexts, particularly those who have been involved with the courts, are not commonly conceptualized through the developmental lens of complex trauma but rather described by maladaptive behaviors and risk to society. This grounded theory analysis explored how participants perceive and make meaning of their experiences. Interview data revealed consistent narratives of childhood neglect and psychological maltreatment, chronic loss, intergenerational trauma exposure, and the resulting survival-based adaptation. We identified 3 primary themes across the participant narratives: (a) lack of need fulfillment; paradoxical experience of self, others, and the world; and persistent sense of purpose and meaning. Findings illuminated the complexity of ongoing struggle, adaptation, and resilience in adult survivors. The need for an increased focus in trauma-informed treatment of adults in underresourced communities is discussed.     

The influence of populism on tolerance: a thematic content analysis of the Dutch Islam debate

Historically, religious tolerance has been an integral part of Dutch identity. Yet, this image has changed, particularly in the last 20 years due to the influence of populism that predominantly focused on the stigmatisation of Islam. This paper examines how this development has changed the meaning of tolerance in the public debate about Islam and what this change means for the social and political conditions for integration in the Netherlands. An analytical framework was used, breaking down the term ‘tolerance’ into five components: subject of tolerance, object of tolerance, hierarchy of values, power to interfere and limits to tolerance. The results show that while mainstream opinion leaders received more attention in public debate, populists managed to shape the tolerance discourse, changing the subjects and objects of tolerance, emphasising contradictions between different values, shaping the hierarchy of values and proposing intolerance for Islamic intolerance as limit of tolerance.     

中国城乡跨文化心理学刍议

城乡跨文化心理学的母体是跨文化心理学,它旨在探讨城乡两种亚文化背景中的社会结构、思想观念、生活准则、价值体系、行为方式、民俗习惯、神话传说、宗教信仰以及语言特点等方面的共同文化心理特质和文化心态差异,中国的城乡跨文化心理学着重揭示城乡两种文化背景下个体或群体社会心理的基本差别,并因此为心理学提供研究原则和方法方面的启示,进而为乡村城市化过程中各种问题的解决查明心理学上的依据。     

城市低龄老年人的需要满足状况、社会支持和心理健康的关系研究

采用城市低龄老年人社会支持问卷、老年人心理健康问卷、城市低龄老年人需要问卷对738名城市低龄老年人进行施测,考察需要社会支持、需要满足状况对城市低龄老年人的心理健康关系机制。结果表明：城市低龄老年人的需要满足状况和社会支持同时影响其心理健康。具体而言,人际需要满足状况和亲情需要满足状况分别对关爱支持和心理健康起到了部分中介效应,人际需要满足状况、亲情需要满足状况认知需要满足状况和价值需要满足状况分别对指导支持和心理健康起到了部分中介效应。     

社会支持网络对城市贫困人口身心状况的影响

摘 要 通过对天津贫困人口的随机样本的分析,探讨了社会支持的数量、质量和社会支持网的网络结构对贫困人口的身心状况的影响。研究发现,社会支持的数量对城市贫困人口的身心状况没有影响。社会支持的质量则对贫困人口的身心状况有正向的影响。社会支持网的异质性越高,趋同性越低,生活满意度越高。这些指标对身体健康则没有影响。但网络中高于中心成员收入水平的越多,身心状况越差。     

全国高考英语试题的城乡项目功能差异分析

本研究主要目的是针对高考英语成绩存在的城乡差异,检验这种差异是否来源于试题在城乡上的项目功能差异。如果两个能力本来相同的考生群体在某一试题得分上表现出不同程度的差异,该试题就存在项目功能差异。研究采用试题标准化分数差法,利用STDIF软件逐一分析了2016年三套全国高考英语卷的客观题是否存在城乡上的项目功能差异,在确定客观题没有项目功能差异后,以客观题成绩为匹配变量,采用条件得分图法对书面表达题是否存在城乡上的项目功能差异进行了分析。研究结果显示,高考英语全国I、II、III卷均未发现城乡上的项目功能差异试题,即可以认为高考英语全国卷对城乡不同户籍考生都非常公平、公正,城乡考生在英语成绩上的差异并非题目的公平性所致。     

Family socioeconomic status and emotional adaptation among rural‐to‐urban migrant adolescents in China: The moderating roles of adolescent's resilience and parental positive emotion

Low family socioeconomic status (SES) is closely related to increased risk of emotional maladaptation among adolescents. Although previous studies have found that low family SES is a significant and common experience for most rural‐to‐urban migrant adolescents in China, little research has examined the association between family SES and emotional adaptation or identified the protective factors that may minimise emotional maladaptation among these adolescents. The present study examined the associations between family SES and three indices of emotional adaptation (emotion regulation, life satisfaction and depression) and the moderating effects of adolescents' resilience and parental positive emotion (PE) among 486 Chinese rural‐to‐urban migrant adolescents. The results suggest that family SES was significantly associated with migrant adolescents' emotional outcomes, to varying degrees. Moreover, both adolescents' resilience and PE moderated the associations between family SES and emotional outcomes, although the protective effects of the two moderators differed on the three emotional outcomes. These findings shed light into designing intervention and prevention programs to reduce emotional maladaptation among migrant adolescents.     

经济发达与欠发达地区城乡小学生自我概念的比较研究

为比较研究经济发达与欠发达地区的城乡小学生自我概念的特点,在山东省九地市分层抽取3—5年级小学生481人,用自我概念量表(SDQ)进行问卷调查。结果表明：(1)发达地区小学生自我概念高于欠发达地区;在生理外貌和一般自我概念两个因子上,城高于乡,而在其它各项上城乡差异不显著。(2)经济发达地区小学生自我概念城乡差异显著,城高于乡;而经济欠发达地区城乡无显著差异。(3)仅在自我概念的同伴关系因子上,女生高于男生;在自我概念其它各因子及总分上性别差异均不显著。(4)年级因素的主效应、性别与年级的交互作用在各项上均不显著。     

Populist polarization in postcolonial Philippines: Sociolinguistic rifts in online drug war discourse

Social psychological scholarship on populism explains polarization processes in terms of individual differences and group‐level divisions. However, predominant approaches often elide wider historical contexts, implicitly assuming the structural features of Western settings. Invoking insights from postcolonial psychology, we posit that populist polarization dynamics in the Global South are structurally shaped by colonial histories. Turning to the Philippines under populist President Rodrigo Duterte, we examine polarized online constructions of his controversial war on drugs. Employing a discourse‐historical approach, we uncover a structurally bifurcated view of populist polarization. We specifically unpack sociolinguistic rifts across vernacular discourses of community security uttered in Filipino versus cosmopolitan discourses of democratic integrity uttered in English. Our findings expand prevailing scholarship by illustrating postcolonial discursive possibilities of populism from above and resistance from below. We conclude with insights for studying populist polarization at the nexus of local and global inequalities.     

Psychological Correlates of Populist Attitudes

Studies of demand-side populism with a focus on attitudinal and behavioral factors are becoming more popular, but only a few have explored the phenomenon's psychological determinants. We tackle the lack of conversation between populism scholars and political psychologists and test the impact of conspiracy beliefs, moral disengagement, need for cognition, and belief in simple solutions on populist attitudes. We use the most widespread ideational definition in an attempt to bring clarity to demand-side populism, as the literature often conflates the concept of populism with adjacent ideological and psychological factors. We analyze representative samples from two very different countries (Italy and Turkey) to test our hypotheses. We use two of the most often-used measures of populist attitudes and also explore populism's individual building blocks: people-centrism, antielitism, and a Manichean worldview. We consistently find conspiracy beliefs (and our control variable of institutional trust) as primary sources of populist attitudes, whereas the impact of the other psychological factors is more dependent on context and operationalization. Our article calls for more conceptual clarity, careful theorization, and more work on the refinement of available survey measures. We also highlight the importance of national contexts and the dangers of generalization based on individual country studies.
