The present study investigates the conceptions of happiness and unhappiness among university students from Italy and Honduras. A total of 193 Italians and 172 Hondurans took part in a questionnaire study. Respondents were asked to write down the things that made them happy (happiness sources) and those that made them unhappy (unhappiness sources). The content analysis of participants’ answers showed that there was a substantial agreement between Italians and Hondurans over the type of happiness and unhappiness sources they reported. However, the participants’ cultural background significantly influenced the perceived salience of a high number of these sources. Notably, we found several discrepancies between the participants’ cultural orientation and the semantic content of the happiness and unhappiness sources they assigned greater importance to. We also found gender differences in the perceived salience of happiness and unhappiness sources; however, these differences only referred to a small number of sources. The results were interpreted considering theory and research on individualism–collectivism. Read the article @ https://ow.ly/Z2Jg50UAeth
Unlike immigrant populations in many cities, Ranchi’s indigenous communities are original inhabitants, yet they face stark socio-spatial challenges in their own land. This new study uncovers how land rights, cultural identity, and urban dynamics affect tribal communities in Jharkhand, creating socio-spatial ‘poverty traps’ that persist today.
With insights into clustering, land alienation, and identity struggles, this research highlights an essential dialogue on indigenous rights, urban inclusion, and equity. Read the article @ https://ow.ly/9AIL50UAe7k
Reflecting on 2024
As the year comes to a close, we’re excited to share a glimpse of our story and things we accomplished together.
Hit play on our year-end video that captures the essence of our journey, our growth, and the moments that defined 2024.
The Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan is intensifying security concerns across South Asia, impacting nations like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and beyond. With renewed ties to groups like Al-Qaeda, the Taliban's influence threatens to bolster radical organizations and separatist movements, especially along porous borders with strong ethnic connections.
The Afghanistan-Pakistan nexus further complicates regional stability, potentially empowering militant organizations. Additionally, alliances between Taliban factions and terrorist groups in Kashmir could increase the flow of recruits and weapons, worsening the security landscape.
A new study will explore India's role in promoting peace in the region and examine how New Delhi is recalibrating its strategy on Afghanistan amidst these rising threats. Click to read @ https://ow.ly/N5Uo50UtZjK
