| Summary: | This research study is part of a larger research project on refugee migration, acculturation, and the role of religious culture in the Polish guest and host populations. The article focuses on an investigative study of the role of religious culture in the formation of host culture attitudes toward refugees. The data gathering for this project was begun in 1995 and continued through 1997. The population consists of Polish children living near refugee camps. The Polish children come into daily contact with refugee children who are enrolled in the same school classes. Data gathered through a coordinated process of interviews with children, with their parents, and analysis of children's drawings and narratives, reveal the impact of religious culture in the Polish context in attitude formation in this area. Children's images of god and descriptions of relationships to God provide important areas of insight into the inf! uence of religious culture in their attitudes toward refugees in general and refugee children in particular. |
