dc.description.abstractPrevious studies have found that perceived collective continuity predicts important group-related variables. In the following research paper we hypothesized that perceived collective continuity positively correlates with collective self-esteem, perceived group enitiativity and individual self-esteem while it is negatively associated with group anomie for both Lebanese and Armenian nationals. The paper also examined group differences between the Lebanese and Armenian samples on perceiving their nation as more continuous. For this study, Lebanese (N=114) and Armenians (N=101) totaling N=215 completed self-administered questionnaires on group related constructs. As was hypothesized, the results showed significant and positive correlation between perceived collective continuity and collective self-esteem, perceived group enitiativity and individual self-esteem for the Lebanese group, Armenian group and total Lebanese-Armenian groups. As for the relation of collective continuity with group anomie, the results failed to support the stated hypothesis. Moreover, members of the Armenian ethic group showed significantly stronger collective continuity compared to their Lebanese counterparts. The obtained results are explained in terms of group related characteristics and intergroup relations between minority and majority groups.
