This paper examines three issues concerning the frequently documentednegative correlation between formal education and ethnic prejudice, namely its reliability, its validity and the manner in which it is mediated. Reliability is demonstrated across three indices of ethnic attitudes in seven representative samples drawn from four European countries (West Germany, Netherlands, France, Great Britain; total N=3788This paper is part of a joint research project with

“…Tajfel's explanation of social identity (Hewstone, 1988;Tajfel, 1978) is helpful for understanding the stereotyping of first names. Because people want to acquire their own positive identity, they define themselves as part of a group (to which they wish to or must belong) and make every effort to view this group in the most favorable light possible.…”

Four hundred eight high school and college students in Israel were presented with a sample of 12 typical first names divided on an a priori basis into 2 categoriesIsraeli and Jewish-with the former subdivided into recently coined and biblical names and the latter into names of general use and names of special significance to the diaspora. The names were to be rated on a 12-scale semantic differential and on 3 additional scales (Close to me-far from me, Israeli-Jewish, Israeli non-Jewish). Analysis indicated that in general, the participants preferred Israeli names to Jewish names, newly coined Israeli names to those with biblical associations, and general Jewish names to those associated with the diaspora. The participants who were more traditionally oriented tended to follow this same overall pattern but demonstrated a significantly greater liking for general Jewish names than their more secular peers did. The nonreligious participants preferred even the non-Jewish name Robert to names that were associated with the diaspora.

“…This may not be the case, however, in an intergroup situation where status hierarchies between groups have been challenged and struggles have ensued to obtain or defend access to social goods and privileges. In such a situation, group members may perceive the other group as posing a threat to the in-group's interests and ability to maintain its cultural or ethnic identity, arousing defensive motivations to preserve, protect, and enhance in-group esteem (Lilli & Rehm, 1988;Hewstone, 1988).…”

Disparities in Judgments of the O. J. Simpson Case: A Social Identity Perspective

In this article, social identity theory is used to explore the disparate perceptions of Blacks and Whites regarding the O. J. Simpson case. In social identity theory, the desire to view one's own social group positively is seen as a primary motivation underlying causal attributions for disturbing social events. This work suggests that racially polarized judgments of the O. J. Simpson trial may be related to (a) perceptions of the nature of status boundaries between Blacks and Whites in American society; (b) the relative importance of social identity; and (c) the degree to which the out‐group is seen to pose a threat to the in‐group's objective interests and identity concerns. Theoretical and empirical work in social identity theory is discussed.
