| Sumario: | This dissertation explores the structure and impacts of culturally diversifying experiences, on a series of intra- and interpersonal outcomes. It extends prior research by using diverse conceptualizations (experimentally induced and naturally occurring experiences), methods (quantitative and qualitative), and samples (a culturally homogeneous student sample, and a culturally diverse immigrant sample). The first article finds that participants’ correction mechanisms counteracted the prejudice-reduction effects of a novel experimental intervention which involved exposure to and interaction with counter-stereotypical diversity. Moreover, it presents a new methodological tool to measure corrections and shows that these corrections are related to certain individual variables. The second article shows that the self- transcendent emotion of awe is a catalyzer of connectedness to culturally diverse others, even in contexts of discrimination. The third article integrates previously scattered findings on the nature and effects of multicultural experiences, first by developing a theoretical framework, and second by testing it on the two different samples. This thesis contributes new approaches to the study of culturally diverse experiences, integrates previously compartmentalized findings, and incorporates populations underrepresented in social-psychological research. In sum, it aims at examining the diversity of culturally diversifying experiences, and the diverse impact that such experiences can have. |
