“…By measuring stereotypes and personal beliefs of 147 White students, the authors showed that -since the study of Katz and Braly -the presence of a certain number of stereotypes regarding the Black population remains significantly markednamely, that they are less clever, louder, and more hostile and have a stronger tendency for crime than the White population (see also Karlins, Coffman, & Walters, 1969). Similarly, Akrami, Ekehammar, and Araya (2000), using the Modern Racial Prejudice Scale, highlighted the presence of racial stereotypes against immigrant populations in Sweden.…”

“…Most theoretical and empirical work on modern prejudice originated in the USA (e.g., Henry & Sears, 2002;Kinder, 1986;McConahay, 1986;McConahay & Hough, 1976), with some having been conducted in Europe (e.g., Akrami, Ekehammar, & Araya, 2000;Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995) and South Africa (Duckitt, 1991). In an Australian study, found that although factor analysis showed that the two constructs were separable, the two forms of prejudice were moderately correlated.…”

Previous research in Perth, Western Australia, finds a disturbing amount of prejudice against Indigenous Australians. At the forefront of much prejudice research has been the distinction between old‐fashioned and modern prejudice. We constructed an Attitude Toward Indigenous Australians scale from items originating from qualitative data. We found that negative attitudes were predicted by collective guilt about past and present wrongs to Indigenous Australians (collective guilt directly linked to Indigenous issues, as well as collective guilt generally). Negative attitudes were also predicted by a lack of empathy for Indigenous Australians, and affective perspective taking generally. Socio‐demographics (e.g. a lack of education) predicted negative attitudes, which indicate the necessity of taking both social‐psychological and socio‐demographic factors into account when examining the nature of prejudice. A number of practical implications arise from these findings. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

What causes prejudice? How may we solve it? Lay beliefs and their relations with classical and modern prejudice and social dominance orientation Abstract: This research aimed to examine lay beliefs about the causes of and solutions to ethnic prejudice towards immigrant populations in the Italian context. The research had two main goals: (a) to explore in Italy what non-experts think causes ethnic prejudice against immigrants, and how they suggest we combat it; (b) to assess whether lay perceptions of causes of ethnic prejudice mediate the relationship between SDO and ethnic prejudice, and whether such mediational effects would depend on the form of ethnic prejudice considered (classical vs. modern). In particular, we hypothesized that lay beliefs about the causes of (but not lay beliefs about solutions to) prejudice towards immigrants may mediate the relation between SDO and prejudice towards immigrants. 520 Italian high school students participated in the study and completed a set of questionnaires regarding these issues. Results showed that Italian respondents were especially likely to attribute the causes of ethnic prejudice towards immigrants to ignorance and close-mindedness, and to recommend as main solutions open-mindedness and tolerance of others' values. Moreover, as predicted, beliefs about causes of ethnic prejudice significantly mediated the relation between SDO and modern (but not classical) prejudice. Implications of our findings for social dominance theory were discussed.
