ABSTRACT

In New Zealand, since the 2019 Christchurch terror attack, scholars have been investigating the experiences of the Muslim community more extensively. This exploratory study forms part of a larger research project that investigated discrimination within New Zealand’s education sector [Salahshour N and Boamah E. 2020. Perceived discrimination as experienced by Muslims in New Zealand Universities. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. 40(3):497–512] and specifically unpacks the key attitudes and behaviour patterns that constitute the information culture of this community when faced with discrimination at New Zealand universities. A questionnaire was sent to employees across New Zealand universities and the responses were analysed using both descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate four clusters of factors were found to influence their behaviour on how this community report or share information on their discrimination experiences, including a range of attitudinal elements, such as trust, fear, and indifference. Other factors included policy, technology, and management issues.

摘要

在新西兰，自 2019 年基督城恐怖袭击以来，学者们一直在更广泛地调查穆斯林社区的经历。这项探索性研究是一个更大的研究项目的一部分，该项目调查了新西兰教育部门的歧视 [Salahshour N 和 Boamah E. 2020。新西兰大学穆斯林所经历的感知歧视。穆斯林少数民族事务杂志。40(3):497–512] 并特别揭示了新西兰大学面临歧视时构成该社区信息文化的关键态度和行为模式。向新西兰大学的员工发送了一份问卷，并使用描述性统计和主题分析对答复进行了分析。调查结果表明，在该社区如何报告或分享有关他们的歧视经历的信息方面，有四组因素会影响他们的行为，包括一系列态度因素，例如信任、恐惧和冷漠。其他因素包括政策、技术和管理问题。
