Academic Study Weakens Israeli Claim That Palestinian School Texts Teach Hate
By Isabel Kershner NYTimes, February 3, 2013 Using human figure drawing as a tool for examining self-perception and emotional attitudes among Jewish and Arab children in Israel
Lipschitz-Elhawi Racheli, Yedidya Tova International Journal of Intercultural Relations Volume 35, Issue 5, September 2011, Pages 567–579 The study examined ingroup and outgroup perceptions among Jewish and Arab children in Israel. The sample comprised 191 children aged 10–12, 131 Jewish and 60 Arab participants who live in a mixed city. The main instrument used to examine the children's perceptions was a multidimensional analysis of Jewish and Arab figures drawn by the participants, as well as a questionnaire relating to the drawn figures. The findings revealed that, even though they lived in a mixed city and studied in the same classes, the Jewish children differentiated between the figures and overwhelmingly preferred Jewish figures to Arab figures. Moreover, they revealed negative stereotypes and expressed aggression in drawings of Arab figures. In contrast, among the Arab participants, the findings were inconsistent. In most of the variables, they did not distinguish between the various figures. However, in the quality variables, they tended to prefer figures of their own nationality and rejected Jewish figures. The findings are discussed in relation to the context of the residential environment (a mixed city), majority-minority status, and the Israeli-Arab conflict. |
