“…This criticism was accompanied by a strong plea for broadening the scope of American psychology by including more research in non-US samples and more publications in APA journals of non-US researchers. Professional comments to this paper (LoSchiavo & Shatz, 2009; Webster, Nichols, & Orozco Schember, 2009) were in agreement, and more and some different suggestions were made for the internationalization of US-American psychology. Webster et al (2009) presented a plea for a bottom-up process of increasing the number of first and other authors in APA journals, for which they see already some positive trends.…”

Exemplary for other than English-language psychology journals, the impact of recent Anglicization of five former German-language psychology journals on (1) authorship (nationality, i.e., native language, and number of authors, i.e., single or multiple authorships), (2) formal characteristics of the journal (number of articles per volume and length of articles), and (3) number of citations of the articles in other journal articles, the language of the citing publications, and the impact factors (IF) is analyzed. Scientometric data on these variables are gathered for all articles published in the four years before anglicizing and in the four years after anglicizing the same journal. Results reveal rather quick changes: Citations per year since original articles’ publication increase significantly, and the IF of the journals go up markedly. Frequencies of citing in German-language journals decrease, citing in English-language journals increase significantly after the Anglicization of former German-language psychology journals, and there is a general trend of increasing citations in other languages as well. Side effects of anglicizing former German-language psychology journals include the publication of shorter papers, their availability to a more international authorship, and a slight, but significant increase in multiple authorships.

“…LoSchiavo and Shatz (2009, this issue) agreed that my analysis of articles published in APA journals shows that American researchers in psychology have focused too narrowly on Americans while neglecting the other 95% of the world’s population. However, they placed the origin of the problem not mainly on a misguided philosophy of science, as I did (Arnett, 2008), but on practical issues, specifically “a lack of viable options for conducting research with international samples” (LoSchiavo & Shatz, 2009, p. 566).…”

“…Third, while researchers such as LoSchiavo and Shatz ( 2009 ) suggest that one way to consider cultural explanations for outcomes is to conduct literature reviews that include references of international works and to also use methods that tap into broader and/or diverse populations, literature review conducted prior to the current study revealed that there is limited empirical research conducted among Botswana university students to understand the impact of such migrations. Therefore, the findings from the current study provide opportunities for investigators to conceptualise future research and come up with different approaches for investigating rural-to-urban acculturation experiences.…”

Rural-to-urban migrations: acculturation experiences among university students in Botswana

Many students in Botswana migrate from small rural villages and towns to the larger urban centres to attend university, and are subsequently required to adapt or acculturate to their new environments. However, the existing literature and research on acculturation experiences of students who migrate from rural-to-urban centres in Botswana is almost non-existent. The current study was therefore a qualitative exploratory investigation of the experiences of the students who migrate from rural-to-urban centres. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants who contributed to a Talking Circle focus group. Researchers transcribed the interviews and used content analysis to uncover response themes. Findings indicated that the majority of students experienced some culture shock and a number of environmental and specific systemic stressors in their first two years of university life. Theoretical implications for understanding rural-to-urban acculturation and practical implications for university counselling approaches are also discussed.
