“…If the students had extremely negative attitudes, it would contribute to uncontrolled conflicts. If we examine some of the researches done abroad, it is obvious that negative attitude impedes good interactions and cause conflicts among students (Smith, 2009;McGlothlin & Killen, 2006;Brockett, Village & Francis, 2010). Furthermore, the conflict among students in this research is not something that is serious and does not hold extreme underlying issues such as racism, thus, it differs from conflicts abroad, which are caused by elements of racism in some studies (Thomas, 2003;Riley & Ettlinger, 2011;Reason & Evans, 2007).…”

Positive social interaction is a vital aspect of maintaining a harmonious condition, especially in Malaysia, a country which has a multiracial society. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify the patterns of social interactions among multiethnic students in national secondary schools in Malaysia. The respondents for this study comprise two school administrators, seven teachers and 20 students of various ethnicities. They were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interview sessions either individually or in focus groups, observation and document analysis. The study's findings showed that, there are five patterns of social interaction such as cooperation, exchange, competition, conflict and non-verbal communication among multiethnic students. Although there was conflict, the underlying causes of the conflict were not due to racial issues. As well as the five patterns of social interactions stated above, stereotypes were also reported among students. Despite conflicts and stereotypes, the students actively attempted to learn about other cultures and demonstrated attitudes of acceptance towards friends from other ethnic backgrounds. This indicates that the social interaction among students is still favorable and can be further improved through appropriate response. Additionally, based on these findings, a few recommendations were made regarding this issue.

“…Within the scope of this project, the aim was to capture data from around 1,000 students between the ages of 13-and 15-years attending Catholic schools in Northern Ireland and a comparable sample of students attending Protestant schools. In its design this project drew on theoretical and methodological perspectives developed by the Outgroup Prejudice Project at York St John University (Brockett, Village, & Francis, 2009, 2010Village, 2011).…”

“…The study showed that the notion of proximity could be used to measure prejudice toward Muslims among non-Muslim secondary school students. The second database assembled by the Outgroup Prejudice Project on 4,245 students between the ages of 11 and 16 years was employed by Brockett, Village, and Francis (2010), to develop and test the Outgroup Prejudice Index as a reliable and valid scale employing the notion of proximity that was comparable in measuring attitudes toward outgroup among Christians, among Muslims, and among those of no religious affiliation. In a second paper drawing on the second database, Village (2011) focused on the responses given by 2,756 white adolescents and employed path analysis to disentangle the complex web of relationships connecting personality, religiosity and outgroup prejudice.…”

Northern Ireland has been and remains a religiously divided community. This study sets out to examine outgroup prejudice among a sample of 1,799 13-to 15-year-old students attending Catholic or Protestant schools and employs both bivariate analyses and hierarchical modelling to chart the associations between outgroup prejudice and personal factors (sex and age), psychological factors (extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) and religious factors (affiliation, church attendance, and personal prayer). After taking personal, psychological and religious factors into account, little variance in levels of outgroup prejudice between students could be attributed to the type of school they attended.
