ABSTRACT

We aimed to investigate the relationship between ethnic prejudice and the perception of inclusion of immigrant children among primary and middle school teachers, focusing on the mediating role of resilience. Participants were 261 teachers, 233 women and 28 men, ages 34 to 66 (M = 51.67; SD = 8.27), recruited in primary and middle schools in Sicily (Italy). Participants completed the Classical and Modern Racial Prejudice Scale, the Resilience Process Questionnaire, and an ad hoc questionnaire for evaluating teachers’ perception of inclusion of immigrant children. The results showed an effect of ethnic prejudice on the perception of inclusion of immigrant children and on resilient reintegration. The mediation model showed that resilient reintegration partially mediated the relationship between ethnic prejudice and the perception of inclusion of immigrant children. Educational and practical implications are provided.

摘要

我们旨在调查种族偏见与中小学教师对移民儿童包容的看法之间的关系，重点关注复原力的中介作用。参与者包括 261 名教师，其中 233 名女性和 28 名男性，年龄 34 至 66 岁（M  = 51.67；SD = 8.27），在西西里岛（意大利）的中小学招募。参与者完成了古典和现代种族偏见量表、复原力过程问卷以及用于评估教师对移民儿童包容性看法的特别调查问卷。结果表明，种族偏见对移民儿童的包容性和复原力重新融入社会的看法产生影响。中介模型表明，弹性重返社会在一定程度上中介了种族偏见与移民儿童融入感之间的关系。提供了教育和实践意义。
