Social structural position and prejudice: an exploration of cross-national differences in regression slopes

Article Abstract:

Hierarchical linear modeling to analyze multi-level data from 17 east and west European countries was used to study the collective threat posed to dominant ethnic and racial groups which increase average levels of prejudice and intensify the relationships between individual characteristics and prejudice. The effect of student status is stronger in countries with larger immigrant populations and countries with poor economic conditions have weaker relationships between the social structural variables and prejudice.
