Data were gathered from 296 undergraduate Social-Science students
(14.7% males and 85.3% females) from one major college
located in the Northern Galilee. The distribution regarding ethnicity
was: 65.9% Jewish students, 27.3% Muslim students, 5.1%
Christian students, and 1.7% Druze students, with a mean age of
25.4 (SD = 7.1) years. Based on the report of The Central Bureau
of Statistics. (2011) and The Council for Higher Education. (2009)
in Israel, the gender and ethnicity breakdown of Northern Galilee
college students, majoring mainly in Social-Science studies is 20%
males and 80% females of whom 50% Jews, 45% Muslims, and 5%
belonging to other religions, thus the current study’s sample represents,
to some extent, the gender breakdown of regional colleges
located in the Northern Galilee. However, although including all
four ethnic groups studying in Northern Galilee colleges, the sample
is less representative concerning the distribution of ethnicity.
The distribution regarding the year of study was: 42.4%
first-year students, 31% second-year students and 26.6% third-year
students. The participants’ faculty enrollment breakdown was as
follows: Education – 35.1%, Criminology – 11.9%, Sociology – 8.4%,
Management – 36.5%, Economics – 6%, Political Science – 2.1
