ABSTRACT Although there is a large volume of research on the relationship between social identity and volunteerism, little attention was given to national identity in volunteerism research. This study examined the role of national identity in motivating people to volunteer in the Chinese culture and its role in differentiating those who showed no interest in voluntary work (i.e. non‐volunteers) from those who wanted to volunteer but did not (i.e. potential volunteers). Two hundred ninety‐nine participants (age, M = 34.14 years) filled out a questionnaire on their demographics, experience of volunteering, intention to volunteer, volunteer motivations, and national identity. Results showed that a stronger national identity was associated with greater volunteer motivations. Mediation analyses further supported the positive indirect effect of national identity on intention to volunteer through strengthening volunteer motivations. Marital status was the only significant factor that differentiated current volunteers from potential volunteers. We concluded that citizens’ volunteer motivation increases with national identity, yet concrete measures to bring potential volunteers to actual volunteering need to be further explored.

Motivation as Mediator Between National Identity and Intention to Volunteer

动机作为国家认同与志愿服务意愿之间的中介

Abstract Poverty is associated with higher rates of mental illness and lower levels of well‐being. Poverty affects mental health and well‐being through a range of mechanisms, one of which may be experiences of stigma associated with living in poverty or accessing services designed to assist individuals on low incomes (including social security). The aim of this study was to synthesise published research on the relationship between individuals' experiences of poverty stigma and aspects of mental health and well‐being. A rapid review was undertaken of quantitative and qualitative research published between January 2005 and February 2021. In total, 22 (5 quantitative and 17 qualitative or mixed methods) studies met the inclusion criteria, the findings of which were extracted and analysed using thematic synthesis. Experiences of poverty stigma were found to be associated with four broad aspects of mental health and well‐being: negative self‐evaluations, diminished social well‐being, negative affect, and mental ill‐health. Several forms of poverty stigma, including self, received, perceived, anticipated, and endorsed stigma were implicated in these associations. Poverty stigma may contribute to inequalities in mental illness and well‐being, although further quantitative and longitudinal research is required to test its impact on mental health.

ABSTRACT This study analyses the perceptions and attitudes of national minorities in Serbia towards the impact of ethnic tourism on the preservation of their cultural identity, economic benefits, the reduction of prejudices and the future development of ethnic‐tourism. Using a qualitative approach, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with members of different national minorities: Slovaks, Hungarians, Bosniaks, Ruthenians, Vlachs and Roma. Thematic analysis was used to identify key issues and gain insights into the views of the interviewees. The results show that ethnic tourism contributes significantly to the economic development of these communities by creating jobs and supporting local businesses. Ethnic tourism also plays a key role in the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage through festivals, traditional crafts and gastronomy. Interaction with tourists helps to break down stereotypes and prejudices and promotes mutual understanding and tolerance. However, challenges are also recognised, such as the commercialization of culture and the need for sustainable practices. The importance of this research for Serbia is particularly great, as it is a country with numerous national minorities and the potential for the development of ethnic tourism. Serbia faces prejudices and stereotypes, and ethnic tourism can play a key role in reducing these prejudices and promoting cultural diversity. The results of this research can inform managers and development professionals on how to integrate sustainable practices and cultural identity into tourism strategies and thus promote the long‐term prosperity of national minorities in Serbia.

Does Empowerment of National Minorities Through Sustainable Ethnic Tourism Overcome Prejudices? Lessons From Serbia

ABSTRACT In a religiously diverse world, understanding how young children perceive and interact with peers from other religious groups is pivotal for promoting harmony from an early age. The study examines how children's understanding of an outgroup religion is associated with their prosocial behaviours towards children from that religion. Conducted with 210 children aged 3–6 years (mean = 4.19 years; 50.7% boys) from the majority religion (Catholic) in state schools in Malta, we assessed children's religious understanding through identification of ingroup religious symbols, and prayer. Additionally, we measured children's outgroup (i.e., Muslim) religious understanding through outgroup prayer. Children's prosocial behaviours were assessed through their costly giving of stickers to outgroup children. Findings indicate that outgroup religious understanding moderated the link between children's religious understanding and outgroup giving. Specifically, outgroup religious understanding dampened the association between ingroup religious understanding and outgroup giving for children with higher ingroup religious understanding. Implications of children's outgroup religious understanding on prosocial behaviours are discussed.

ABSTRACT Limited access to social services often hinders women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) from seeking support. This mixed‐methods (survey‐ and interview‐based) study investigated the impact of a no‐cost, one‐month, self‐directed self‐compassion intervention on women experiencing IPV compared with women in non‐violent relationships. Among the 28 participants ( n = 15 non‐IPV, n = 13 IPV), significant improvements were noted in total self‐compassion scores ( F (2,52) = 6.126, p = 0.004, η 2 p = 0.18), and specific domains such as self‐kindness ( F (2,52) = 6.552, p = 0.003, η 2 p = 0.20) and over‐identification ( F (2,52) = 4.251, p = 0.020, η 2 p = 0.14) over time. Interview findings indicated that women perceived meaningful improvements in their mental health and resilience because of the intervention, with some women in violent relationships reporting that the intervention facilitated leaving the relationship. This intervention demonstrates strong potential as an accessible, effective health promotion intervention for women in violent relationships.

ABSTRACT Communities possess various resources, such as sporting organisations, that establish positive relationships with young people whom statutory services may struggle to engage. Boxing has been shown to attract individuals from diverse cultural and socio‐economic backgrounds, offering proven benefits in areas such as physical health and engagement. When taking into consideration mental and physical well‐being, there is limited knowledge regarding the overall well‐being benefits of boxing for young people. This study adopts an ethnographic approach within an Inner London community boxing gym to investigate the well‐being benefits of boxing for young people. Qualitative interviews, field notes and observations were employed with young people, staff and volunteers. The community identified that boxing provided young people with a changed sense of self, engaged them in a recursive learning process and instilled a sense of belonging, like that of a new family. These factors can all be associated with well‐being. The study highlights the significance of community‐based resources, such as boxing gyms, in providing support for improving well‐being for a diverse cohort of young people.

ABSTRACT Through their design, museums can craft specific experiences for their visitors, ranging from more hedonic to more eudaimonic well‐being experiences. Little is known, however, about whether potential visitors anticipate eudaimonic or hedonic well‐being experiences depending on how the museum design is described. To answer this question, we conducted three social‐psychological experiments with Croatian (Study 1, N = 128 and Study 3, N = 213) and American (Study 2, N = 289) participants. Participants in Study 1 and 2 read about either one of the two different hedonically designed museums or one eudaimonically designed museum which was the same across the studies, and then reported their anticipated well‐being and emotional experience. Particularly for Studies 1 and 3, our findings revealed strong support for the differentiation of eudaimonic and hedonic well‐being in the anticipation of different museum visits. Moreover, the anticipated eudaimonic experience moved beyond the typical positive hedonic experience by uniquely including both positive and negative emotions such as compassion, awe, sadness and guilt. We discuss the implications of our findings for modern psychological theorising on well‐being and emotions, and, in a more applied sense, the relevance of describing the design of museums to potential visitors to guide their anticipation of the museum experience.
