The role of minority discrimination and political participation in shaping majority perceptions of discrimination: Two cross-national studies

Abstract: We develop a minority influence approach to multilevel intergroup research and examine whether country-level minority norms shape majority members’ perceptions of discrimination. Defining minority norms via actual minority discrimination and political participation, we hypothesized that in national contexts with greater minority experiences of discrimination and greater minority political participation, majority perceptions of discrimination should be higher. We implemented two cross-national multilevel studie… Show more

For example, recent work by Kende et al (2023) demonstrates that higher context-level minority political participation was related to higher perceptions of discrimination among the majority in those same contexts. Similarly, work by Danbold and Huo (2015) suggests that a prototypicality threat to Whites can lead to a reassertion of Whites as prototypical Americans.…”
