New Immigrants’ Perceptions of Family Life in Origin and Host Cultures: In-group and Out-group Favoritism Effect
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper explores the degree of congruency of new immigrants’ opinions regarding family life among, the in-group (the Soviet Jewish family) and the out-group (the veteran Israeli family). Contradictory tendencies are described: the one attributes positive characteristics to the in-group, and the other tends to view the out-group more favorably. The present study examines the impact of different factors (sense of well-being and satisfaction with family life before and after immigration; adjustment to the new environment; ethnic self-identification; and level of stress) on perceptions of host family life and their role in redicting tendencies towards in-group and outgroup favoritism. The paper is based on data collected from 2 IO ex-Soviet couples who immigrated to Israel between 1990 and 1993. The results indicate that: ( I) the general tendency of new immigrants to attribute more positive characteristics to the in-group is due to a combination of contradictory tendencies on the individual level; (2) the higher the level of adjustment, the more positive characteristics are attributed to the out-group than to the in-group; (3) the more dissatisfaction with one’s family life and the worse a person’s psychological status, the stronger the tendency towards in-group favoritism effect.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
