The structure of (generalized) prejudice: The relation between contextual factors and different forms of prejudice KU Leuven
Prejudice remains a persistent social problem in Western societies. Critically, prejudices are often not directed toward one single target group but generalize across a variety of groups. People who dislike immigrants or Jews are also more likely to dislike homosexuals and Muslims. To put it in the words of Allport (1954, p. 69): “The fact that scapegoats of different breeds are so often harnessed together shows that it is the totality of ...
Generalized and specific components of prejudice: The decomposition of intergroup context effects KU Leuven
Although different types of prejudice tend to be highly correlated, target-specific and more generalized components can nevertheless be distinguished. Here, we analyze whether indicators of the intergroup context – threat, contact and neighborhood composition – predict the target-specific and/or the generalized components of prejudice. Using data from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (N = 4,629) we build a multilevel model that ...

Despite changes in their representation and visibility, there are still serious concerns about the inclusion and day-to-day workplace challenges various groups face (e.g., women, ethnic and cultural minorities, LGBTQ+, people as they age, and those dealing with physical or mental disabilities). Men are also underrepresented in specific work fields, in particular those in Health care, Elementary Education, and the Domestic sphere (HEED). Previous ...
