Perceptions Of The United States And Its Foreign Policy Among Algerian Efl University Students: Cultural Affinity, Policy Criticism, And Anti-american Sentiment
Authors : Ammari Houda . Bouhidel Houda .
Abstract
This study examined how Algerian EFL university students perceive the United States and its foreign policy, and whether these perceptions are affected by media exposure. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, data were collected through an online questionnaire. General perceptions of the United States were more positive than perceptions of its foreign policy, suggesting that cultural appeal and political evaluation may differ. U.S. economic and cultural involvement in the Middle East was viewed more favorably than its political and military involvement. Media consumption was not linked to either perception measure. Thematic analysis identified students’ critical views of U.S. foreign policy and expressions of anti-American sentiment. The findings indicate that students distinguish between the United States as a country and its foreign policy.
