Vorurteile gegenüber Migranten und deren Diskriminierung gehören heute bedauerlicherweise zur sozialen und politischen Szenerie Europas. Solche Feindseiligkeiten, ein Makel für einen modernen, kosmopolitischen Kontinent, sind dabei keineswegs eine deutsche Besonderheit. Denn Vorurteile sind unter den Deutschen nicht stärker verbreitet als in etlichen anderen europäischen Ländern. Im Folgenden wird auch die Auswahl der Beispiele deutlich machen, dass wir es mit einem Problem aller europäischen Gesellschaften zu tun haben.

"An Introduction to Social Psychology is a highly accessible and definitive guide, which engages the reader without sacrificing academic rigour -- it informs and engages.This seventh edition, which has been extensively revised and updated, meets the same high standards it has set over the last 34 years. In a field that has grown enormously, the task of presenting clearly both underlying theory and the latest research across 15 substantive chapters is taken on by a series of leading psychologists, each an acknowledged expert in their field. The text contains an updated range of innovative pedagogical features, including helpful summaries of key studies and theories, which will appeal to the student reader, while managing to provide a uniform standard of coverage and clarity across the volume"--

AbstractA persistent theme in the British and international debates about immigration and diversity is the controversial claim that living in diverse areas has negative consequences for intergroup attitudes and community relations. In the present paper we test this claim by investigating the impact of neighbourhood diversity and self‐reported intergroup contact on orientations (outgroup attitudes and social distance) toward one religious outgroup: Muslims. Respondents were both White British majority (N=867) and non‐Muslim ethnic minority (N=567) residents of neighbourhoods in England which varied in their proportion of ethnic minority residents. We tested both direct and indirect (via intergroup contact) effects of diversity on outgroup orientations toward Muslims. Results show that individuals living in more ethnically diverse areas—regardless of whether they are White British members of the majority or non‐Muslim members of ethnic minorities—have more positive contact with Muslims, with positive consequences for intergroup relations with Muslims.

This study examined whether social dominance orientation (SDO) affects the malleability of group stereotypes in the face of disconfirmation. Data were collected at two time points: At Time 1, baseline stereotypes and SDO were assessed, and at Time 2, either moderately or extremely stereotype-inconsistent information was presented and stereotyping measures were repeated. Consistent with previous research, exposure to moderately inconsistent information resulted in greater stereotype change than exposure to extremely inconsistent information. As expected, SDO was negatively related to stereotype change, in particular after presentation of moderately inconsistent information. The judged typicality of the target exemplar mediated the effects of the manipulation but did not mediate the effects of SDO. Implications for future research and interventions to reduce stereotyping are discussed.
