Ethno-political conflict impacts thousands of youth globally and has been associated with a number of negative psychological outcomes. Extant literature has mostly addressed the adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes of exposure while failing to examine change over time in social-cognitive factors in contexts of ethno-political conflict. Using cohort-sequential longitudinal data, the present study examines ethnic variation in the development of negative stereotypes about ethnic out-groups among Palestinian (=600), Israeli Jewish (=451), and Israeli Arab (=450) youth over three years. Age and exposure to ethno-political violence were included as covariates for these trajectories. Findings indicate important ethnic differences in trajectories of negative stereotypes about ethnic out-groups, as well as variation in how such trajectories are shaped by prolonged ethno-political conflict.
种族政治冲突影响着全球成千上万的年轻人,并与许多负面心理结果相关。现有文献大多关注接触冲突所带来的不良情绪和行为后果,却未能考察种族政治冲突背景下社会认知因素随时间的变化。本研究利用群组序列纵向数据,考察了巴勒斯坦(n = 600)、以色列犹太(n = 451)和以色列阿拉伯(n = 450)青年在三年间对族裔外群体负面刻板印象发展中的种族差异。年龄和接触种族政治暴力被纳入这些轨迹的协变量。研究结果表明,在对族裔外群体负面刻板印象的轨迹方面存在重要的种族差异,以及长期的种族政治冲突对这些轨迹的塑造方式也存在差异。
