In this study, political tolerance is defined as the willingness to extend human rights to different socio-political groups. We considered 12 rights based on Human Rights and the 13 sociopolitical groups most relevant to Spain. Results based on 273 Spanish adolescents suggest that rights
with a higher social component are extended more willingly than those which are more political in nature. This study also attempted to find variables related to political tolerance. Statistically, differences in political tolerance were found in terms of age, political experience, self esteem,
support for democratic norms, support for violent groups, and identification with a group of friends, a religious group or a soccer team.

This article studies the willingness that adolescents have to extend human rights to feminists. This willingness defines the concept of `political tolerance' towards feminists. The results of this study show that the rights that adolescents are least willing to extend to feminists are those more related to the most visible feminist activities, such as the right of demonstrating on the street. Self-esteem, political experience and identification with a group of friends are positively related to political tolerance towards feminists, whereas support for violent groups or identification with the Catholic Church, and identification with other religious groups are negatively related.
