Journal of Psychology in Africa, 27, 115–121. We relate different models of acculturation (unidimensional, bi-dimensional, multidimensional) with the tri-dimensional model of identity (personal, relational, and social). 1502. Frantz, J., Roman, N.V., & De Jager, M. (2017). An exploration of learning styles used by social work students: A systematic review. Southern African Journal of Social Work and Social Development, 29(1), 92–106. Social workers must apply a diverging learning style, which entails having an interest in people, being aware of emotion, and a tendency to be imaginative. 1503. Kirsch, T.G. (2017). Performing the common good: Volunteering and ethics in nonstate crime prevention in South Africa. Africa, 87, 496–512. Ambiguities relate to asymmetries in the relationship between donors and recipients of volunteering, as well as, most importantly, the challenge to determine what constitutes the ‘common good’. 1504.
