This seminar, titled " Who Stands Up? An intergroup approach to bystander dynamics in bias-based bullying" explores the complex dynamics of bystander behavior in incidents of bias-based bullying, with a focus on the experiences of diverse advantaged and disadvantaged groups, including LGBTIQ+ and ethnic minorities.

Colleen Ward - Negotiating Multicultural Identities
28 Outubro 2024, 14:00 • Lígia Monteiro
Cultural Identity Styles refer to the dynamic cognitive and behavioural strategies that individuals use for decision-making about managing multiple cultural identities. The Hybrid Identity Style (HIS) involves picking and choosing desirable elements from two or more cultures and blending them together in a novel way. The Alternating Identity Style (AIS) entails shifting and changing cultural identities depending on the circumstances. Both styles are accessible to multicultural individuals. This presentation describes a mixed-method programme of research on cultural identity styles that: 1) distinguishes HIS and AIS from related constructs in the field; and 2) discusses the antecedents (e.g., motivation to integrate, perceived discrimination) and outcomes (e.g., identity conflict and consolidation, psychological symptoms and well-being) of HIS and AIS. The findings indicate that HIS and AIS can be activated by different factors and that HOW one chooses to manage cultural identitities has implications for adaptive outcomes.
