Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study personal attributional style and its interconnection with treatment of migrants and host culture acculturation strategies of young adult males and females (high school students). Respondents were young adults from School № 179 of Moscow (50 total, from 15 to 17 years old (mean 15.8), 19 female, 31 male). In this research were used: Success and failures attributional style questionnaire (T.O. Gordeeva, O.V. Krylova), host culture acculturation expectation scales (J. Berry), Migrantophobia measurement scale (N.M. Lebedeva), Feelings about migrants measurement scale (I.M. Kuznetsov), Kognitive reflection test (Shane Frederick). According to findings, personal attributional style has no correlation with feelings about migrants, migrantophobia or results of kognitive reflection test. Correlation was found between host culture acculturation strategies expectation and some attributional style components, inclunding Control subscale (p ≤ 0,05). Also interconnection was found between Kognitive reflection test results and various subscales of attributional style questionnaire (p≤0,01).
