Abstract

Prejudice is defined as negative attitudes, feelings, or intentions toward other people based on the belief that they belong to different social groups. Prejudice influences young people's social experiences and contributes to intergroup conflicts and patterns of social exclusion throughout their lives. In this regard, the current study was conducted to see the effectiveness of intergroup contact in mitigating prejudice among university students and to examine the efficacy of intergroup contact in mitigating prejudice between outer-sect university students. Because of this, this study used a quantitative research design and survey research methods. The data was collected from students attending the three most prominent universities in the province of Punjab, which are situated in the province's south, north, and center, respectively. A questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. Preexisting scales regarding variables were adapted and used in the study. The amended scale was provided to the students through email and the instant messaging application WhatsApp. The information was gathered from 218 respondents using a convenience sampling technique. Regression and correlation analyses were used in order to analyze respondents' inferential responses. The study results showed that there is a substantial and positive correlation between contact with outside sects and reduced prejudice towards those sects. Moreover, contact with out-group sects showed a positive and significant effect on attitudes toward prejudice reduction among university students. In the Pakistani context, there are many studies regarding prejudice, but research gaps exist. This study is trying to uncover the research gap of preexisting studies regarding prejudice. Our study focused on prejudice among faith-based groups; the area that was uncovered in this study is the role of Intergroup Contact as a Relational Initiative to Alleviate Prejudice among Faith-Based Groups.

Abstract

Contraception is a birth control method to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Many developing countries have maintained their birth rates in the last quarter despite various family planning options. Pakistan is also struggles to join this race by inculcating vibrant population growth measures. In this context, many social, cultural, and geographical trends have key roles to play in increasing contraceptive prevalence and acceptance trends in Pakistani society. Education has played an important role in the women's autonomy and effective communication with their husbands about the number of children and contraceptive use. The current study was tried to explore the factors associated (regions, place of residence, and wealth index) with contraceptive use and to find out the relationship between mothers’ education and the adoptability of female birth control methods. The secondary data of 13558 ever-married female respondents aged 15–49 years from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2017–18 was taken for this study. The stratified sampling technique was used in the survey. Bivariate analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between mothers' level of education and contraceptive use. A Chi-square model was used to see the association with other factors. The study results revealed a positive relationship between maternal education and contraceptive use. Results have indicated that the increased education level of mothers is closely associated with contraceptive use. However, more than half of uneducated mothers (62.1%) did not use contraception. By analyzing the results, it is concluded that educated mothers play a vital role in decreasing fertility rates by using different fertility control methods, so education remains the key factor in increasing the prevalence of contraceptive methods. Along with other facilities regarding birth control, there is a dire need to increase the literacy rate. Considering the study results, it is a prerequisite to designing policies and education reforms to promote birth control through education.
