    COVID-19 fear and ethnocentrism in the global south: A cross-cultural analysis
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-03-01) Croucher SM; Ashwell D; Dutta M; Cullinane J; Condon S; Spencer A
    This study explored the extent to which fear of COVID-19 was related to ethnocentrism in 10 Global South nations: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, and Singapore. Based on a representative sample of 2963 participants, results revealed ethnocentrism and fear of COVID-19 are positively correlated. In addition, there was a significant difference in ethnocentrism and fear of COVID-19 based on nation and sex. Theoretical implications and future research are discussed, with an emphasis on how the presence of a contagion, a virus, influences intercultural and intergroup dynamics, prejudice, and ethnocentrism.

    Cross-cultural measurement validation: an analysis of dissent, workplace freedom of speech, and perceived immediacy
    (Taylor and Francis Group on behalf of the Eastern Communication Association, 2024-03-12) Croucher SM; Kelly S; Ashwell D; Condon S; Tootell B
    Croucher and Kelly (2019) laid out guidelines to develop measures that can be used across cultures. The present study provides support for their guidelines, indicating that pancultural measurements cannot be behavioral and should not include unnecessary contexts; however, they should be worded as simplistically as possible. This study utilizes measures of dissent, perceived immediacy, and workplace freedom of speech in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. Only the perceived immediacy measure, which follows Croucher and Kelly’s (2019) guidelines, maintained internal consistency.
