Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Cultural intelligence is defined as an individual’s capability to function and manage effectively in culturally diverse settings, and it includes four aspects: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioral cultural intelligence. The majority of studies investigating antecedents of cultural intelligence have included a measure of international experience and/or cultural exposure. While some studies have indicated that international experience and cultural exposure are associated with higher cultural intelligence, the associations were not found in all studies and for all aspects. We conducted two studies to examine the associations of international experience and cultural exposure with cultural intelligence in the Croatian context. In the first study data were collected for 93 high-school students who reported the number of visited countries as a measure of international experience and cultural exposure, and were divided into two groups with a median split. In the second study data were collected for 482 university students who were divided into two groups based on their intention to study abroad. In both studies cultural intelligence aspects were measured with The Cultural Intelligence Scale. Differences in cultural intelligence aspects were examined between the groups formed to capture international experience and cultural exposure differences. In study 1, high-school students who visited more countries had higher cultural intelligence scores in metacognitive (t = 2.46, p = .016, d = 0.51) and cognitive (t = 2.76, p = .007, d = 0.57) aspects, while differences were not found for motivational (t = 1.33, p = .189, d = 0.28) and behavioral (t = 0.61, p = .546, d = 0.13) aspects. In study 2, students who intended or already had an experience of studying abroad had higher cultural intelligence in metacognitive (t = 4.61, p < .001, d = 0.45), cognitive (t = 2.33, p = .020, d = 0.23), motivational (t = 7.64, p < .001, d = 0.74) and behavioral (t = 3.12, p = .002, d = 0.29) aspects. Results of our studies indicate that differences in international experience and cultural exposure are associated with differences in cultural intelligence aspects, but that these findings are not consistent for different types of international experiences, and in different groups of participants.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Literature offers a lot of contradictory theoretical considerations as well as empirical findings about the relationship between cognitive abilities and oral and written language skills . This study investigated nonverbal abilities and reading and writing skills in 124 2nd and 106 3rd –graders. We applied Naglieri Nonverbal Abilities Test, short culturally unbiased measure of general abilities. Reading and writing skills were assessed with Word Chains, Spelling and Reading Comprehension Test. By means of HRA we examined parental education and cognitive abilities as predictors of reading and writing skills, controlling for child’s gender. In 2nd grade, father’s education and cognitive abilities significantly predicted Reading Comprehension. In 3rd grade, cognitive abilities were also predictive of Reading Comprehension. Mother’s education did not significantly predict any of the investigated reading and writing skills.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research on victimhood often has presented a one-sided picture of the “victim” and “perpetrator”. Researchers have emphasized the importance of narratives and they have focused on narratives about victimhood, but a researcher has not analyzed post-war interviews as a competition for victimhood. This article tries to fill this gap using stories told by survivors of the Bosnian war during the 1990s. I focus on describing the informants portrayal of “victimhood” as well as analysing those discursive patterns which contributed in constructing the category “victim” and ”perpetrator”. My research question is: How do the interviewees describe victimhood after the war? When, after the war, different actors claim this “victim” status, it sparks a competition for victimhood. All informants are eager to present themselves as victims while at the same time for the other categories victim status is downplayed. In this reproduction of competition for the victim role, all demarcations that were played out so successfully during the war live on.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Reason(s) for writing and research problem(s): Previous research on post-war society emphasized structural violence with subsequent reconciliation processes. Aims of the paper (scientific and/or social): Researchers have focused on the importance of narratives, but they have neither highlighted narratives about reconciliation nor analyzed conditions for reconciliation in post-war interviews. One aim of the article is analyzing markers for reconciliation and implacability, the second is describing conditions for reconciliation which are actualized in those stories. Methodology/Design: This article analyzes retold experiences of 27 survivors from the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995. The material for the study was gathered through qualitative interviews with 27 individuals who survived the war in north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina. Research/paper limitations: Interactive dynamics which prevailed during the war associate post-war reconciliation with the war time. Results/Findings: These stories of reconciliation, implacability and conditions for reconciliation, are not created in relation to the war as a whole only but also in relation to one’s own and other’s personal actions during the war. General conclusion: These stories on reconciliation become a forum for confrontation between us and them – not least through dissociation from others war actions. In the interviewees stories implacability is predominant however reconciliation is said to be possible if certain conditions are met. These conditions are, among others, justice for war victims, that the perpetrators’ recognize their crimes and display strong emotions (for example remorse and shame).
