“…Lastly, although the results obtained indicate that participants perceive dissimilarities between the values that are most important to blacks and whites, we did not test directly whether this perception of dissimilarity leads to prejudice-based attitudes. Future studies may assess whether, in the Brazilian context, which is marked by a more subtle form of racism, this perception of dissimilarities between the values is related to racial discrimination, as has been reported in the literature, in the context of other studies (Brandt & Van Tongeren, 2015;Greenhalgh & Watt, 2015).…”

“…In this sense, it is possible that prejudice is linked to the perception of differences in values between groups or cultures (Greenhalgh & Watt, 2015;Ramsay et al, 2013). Therefore, the initial premise of this study was that the skin color has an influence, in a sense, on the association with the systems of values.…”

“…In fact, the perception of dissimilarity between the values of social groups is a factor that influences prejudicial attitudes (Brandt & Van Tongeren, 2015;Guan et al, 2011;Maxwell-Smith, Seligman, Conway, & Cheung, 2015). Furthermore, the perceived differences between the values of the ingroup and the outgroup are related to a more negative perception and dehumanization of the outgroup, while the perception of similarity is related to reduced hostility (Greenhalgh & Watt, 2015). According to Greenhalgh and Watt (2015), the perceived differences between the values of the ingroup and the outgroup can lead to a perception of threat to the ingroup rules and lifestyles, since the values are an important part of the structure and ingroup identity.…”

“…For Rokeach (1973), differences in beliefs and values among social groups or cultures would be the basis for prejudice. Some studies have pointed out, for example, that individuals who admit greater difference in beliefs between ingroup and outgroup are the most prejudiced (Bain et al, 2009;Greenhalgh & Watt, 2015;Esses, Veenvliet, Hodson, & Mihic, 2008). Thus, discrimination against the outgroup would be influenced by the level of similarity perceived between the beliefs and values of the ingroup and the outgroup.…”

“…In general, the abovementioned theories assume that the world is interpreted in terms of ingroup values, so that the outgroups that violate these values are rejected or perceived as negligible (Biernat & Vescio, 2004). In fact, some researches have shown that the perception of dissimilarities between the ingroup and outgroup values lead to prejudice-based attitudes (Greenhalgh & Watt, 2015;Ramsay, Pang, Shen, & Rowatt, 2013).…”

The process of attribution values to some groups can be used as a resource for determining differences between ingroup and outgroup, what may lead to discriminatory behavior against the outgroup. In this sense, the present study sought to determine whether individuals perceive dissimilarities between the values attibuted to themselves, to white and to black people, and if these dissimilarities can follow a prejudice-based logic, expressing subtle racial prejudice. Study 1 (n = 220) aimed to rank the values in terms of socio-economic progress, identifying values that are representative of developed and underdeveloped countries. Study 2 (n = 420) evaluated whether the values attibuted to themselves, to the black and to the white are different and this difference follows a prejudice-based. Overall, results showed a tendency towards the association of third world values such as collectivism to blacks, and first world values such as individualism to whites. Preconceito racial e valores sociais: como percebo a mim e ao outroResumo O processo de atribuição de valores a alguns grupos pode ser utilizado como um recurso para demarcar diferenças entre endogrupo e exogrupo, o que pode levar a comportamentos discriminatórios contra o exogrupo. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho busca avaliar se os indivíduos percebem dissimilaridades entre os valores atribuídos a si mesmos, aos brancos e aos negros, e se essas dissimilaridades podem seguir uma lógica preconceituosa, expressando de forma sutil o preconceito racial. O Estudo 1 (n = 220) objetivou hierarquizar os valores em termos de progresso socioeconômico, identificando aqueles valores representativos de países desenvolvidos e subdesenvolvidos. O Estudo 2 (n = 420) avaliou se os valores atribuídos a si mesmos, a negros e a brancos são diferentes e se essa diferença segue uma lógica preconceituosa. De modo geral, os resultados mostraram uma tendência na associação de valores de terceiro mundo, coletivistas, aos negros e de valores de primeiro mundo, individualistas, aos brancos.

We examined whether homophobic epithets (e.g., faggot) function as labels of deviance for homosexuals that contribute to their dehumanization and physical distance. Across two studies, participants were supraliminally (Study 1) and subliminally (Study 2) exposed to a homophobic epithet, a category label, or a generic insult. Participants were then asked to associate human-related and animal-related words to homosexuals and heterosexuals. Results showed that after exposure to a homophobic epithet, compared with a category label or a generic insult, participants associated less human-related words with homosexuals, indicating dehumanization. In Study 2, we also assessed the effect of a homophobic epithet on physical distance from a target group member and found that homophobic epithets led to greater physical distancing of a gay man. These findings indicate that homophobic epithets foster dehumanization and avoidance of gay people, in ways that other insults or labels do not
