Subtle and blatant prejudice toward Chinese people in Italian adolescents and young adults: the role of “friendship” and “outgroup representation”
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study analyzed subtle and blatant prejudice toward Chinese people expressed by 276 Italian adolescents and young adults, with and without friends from other ethnic groups. Italian version of Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale referred to Chinese people (Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995; Manganelli Rattazzi & Volpato, 2001) and three Semantic Differentials (Falanga et al., 2010) to analyze the representation of Self, the Italians (ingroup), and the Chinese (outgroup) were used. Young adults showed lower levels of subtle and blatant prejudice than adolescents; subjects with friends from other ethnic groups expressed lower levels in some components of subtle and blatant prejudice than the others; Chinese representation affected levels of ethnic prejudice. © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, we hypothesized that the influence of intergroup contact on subtle prejudice will be smaller than its influence on blatant prejudice.

The results consistently showed that intergroup contact was more strongly associated with reduced levels of prejudice among people high in NFC compared to people low in NFC. Studies 1 (N = 138 students) and 2 (N = 294 adults) demonstrated this moderator effect on...

Meertens’ subtle and blatant scales (1992, 1995). Its objective is to determine if the structure originally proposed by these authors is supported by data collected in the Chilean social environment and if this instrument, that theoretically detects modern prejudice manifestations, is useful to appropriately distinguish between old and new forms of ethnic prejudice. The premise underlying new f...
