“…These authors found support for this prediction among college students. In a conceptual replication of this effect in Romania, Chatard, Quiamzade, and Mugny (2007) recently found that students from Bucharest (the country's capital and the siege of the former communist dictatorship) became more authoritarian and less egalitarian with higher education, while students from Cluj (a more progressive and pro‐capitalist town) showed the opposite pattern. If these studies provide preliminary evidence that effects in Eastern cultures are quite different to those found in Western cultures, they did not explore differences depending on academic disciplines.…”

“…Perhaps with a more substantial amount of exposure to education, or with more relevant dependent measures, some effects of socialization would have been found. In fact, this seems more than likely when considering recent efforts to investigate the impact of higher education on egalitarian attitudes in countries from Eastern Europe such as Romania (Chatard, Quiamzade, & Mugny, 2007) and Albania (Chatard, Faniko, et al., forthcoming).…”

In the present paper, we revisit the question of the impact of higher education on students' egalitarian attitudes and values. Research in this domain indicates that students tend to become more egalitarian and tolerant with higher education, but there are also differences depending on academic disciplines. Two main hypotheses aiming to explain why students' egalitarian attitudes differ as a function of academic disciplines are discussed: self-selection and socialization. Previous research yielding results in support of each of these hypotheses is reviewed. After pointing to some inconsistencies in the results, we consider recent research suggesting that cultural norms, namely, individualism and collectivism, may moderate the impact of higher education on attitudes. Individual factors, such as self-selection, seem to play a more prominent role than collective factors, such as socialization, in individualist cultures (e.g. North America, Australia), where most research has been conducted. In contrast, socialization appears to have a stronger impact than individual factors in collectivist cultures (e.g. Eastern Europe, Africa).

“…4 L'étude de Guimond, Bégin et Palmer (1989) a ouvert la voie à une série de recherches concernant les effets de l'éducation sur les attributions, la tolérance intergroupe, ou encore la perception et la justification des inégalités sociales et culturelles (Chatard, Quiamzade & Mugny, 2007;Collard-Bovy & Galand, 2003;Guimond, 1992aGuimond, , 1992bGuimond, , 1998Guimond, , 2000Guimond, Bégin & Palmer, 1989;Guimond & Palmer, 1990, 1996a, 1996b. Guimond et Palmer (1990) ont ainsi pu démontrer que les études universitaires étaient un facteur de changement, mais que le sens de ce changement dépendait du domaine d'études.…”
