Overview

Randomized trial explores the impact of cognitive styles and daily injustices on social behavior in refugees, suggesting pathways for support.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how cognitive styles and experiences of daily injustices influence trust and cooperation in resettled refugees.
  • Participants included 102 refugees from Arabic- and Farsi-speaking backgrounds resettled in Australia.
  • Participants completed measures of justice-related cognitive styles and were randomly assigned to injustice or neutral audio scenarios.
  • Behavioral tasks were used to assess trust (Trust Game) and cooperation (Ultimatum Game).
  • Victim sensitivity was associated with lower trust behavior, while perpetrator sensitivity correlated with greater trust behavior.
  • Exposure to daily injustices led to reduced cooperation behavior.
  • No significant interactions were found between cognitive styles and exposure to daily injustices.
