Hi!
Can you, please, check the bolded words here. Thank you.

In case of index of interethnic openness, with the examinees of both samples, the rejection of the ideas of ethnocentrism and ethnic segregation make significant predictors which explain a part/partly of variance of that phenomenon.

Hi Antonija, My guess is that the original text is not well-written. This whole paragraph needs a lot of improvement, in my opinion. Here are just a few comments/edits.
