چکیده
Due to increased migration, many nations are increasingly characterized as multiracial/multicultural societies. Maximizing the conditions under which such societies achieve stability and harmony among various racial and cultural groups has become an important issue (see United Nations Development Programme, 2004). The present paper draws on concepts from cultural and social psychology to provide a theoretical perspective and empirical data concerning intergroup attitudes. The data are drawn from high school students in Los Angeles, a region of the U.S. that has long been a destination for people of many races, nationalities of origin, and cultural groups.

متن کاملThe social costs of extrinsic relative to intrinsic goal pursuits: their relation with social dominance and racial and ethnic prejudice.
Self-determination theory's distinction between extrinsic and intrinsic goal pursuits offers a possible explanation for ethnic and racial prejudice. Because extrinsic relative to intrinsic goal pursuits (E/I) stimulate interpersonal competition, they were expected to predict social dominance orientation (SDO), which, in turn, would predict racial and ethnic prejudice. Results of a first cross-s...
