“…The studies reported here contribute to the current literature by clarifying how dehumanization and RWA act as underlying processes in the relationship between terrorist threat against ingroup and discriminatory behavior. Previous studies based on Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) had already identified that the support for the use of retributive procedures increases when the criminal action is committed by an outgroup member ( Alvaro et al, 2015;da Costa Silva et al, 2018;Sommers & Ellsworth, 2009;Wenzel et al, 2008). Moreover, these minority groups are perceived as devoid of essentially human characteristics Haslam, 2006;Leyens et al, 2000) and such dehumanization increases the support for severe punishments against these groups (Goff et al, 2014), including violence (Viki et al, 2013).…”

“…Although the present study has identified that the context in which the ingroup is the focus of a threat favors the expression of discriminatory behavior, previous investigations are consistent in pointing out that reactions to a threatening intergroup context are not linear processes, but moderated by different psychosocial variables (Álvaro et al ., ; Baysu, Phalet & Brown, ; Matthews & Levin, ). Among these variables, we highlight right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), which interacts with the perception of threat in the expression of negative behaviors against the outgroup (Cohrs & Asbrock, ; da Costa Silva et al ., ; Duckitt, ).…”

“…The group membership of the offender, therefore, influences the support for different forms of justice, and there is greater support for the use of retributive procedures when the offender belongs to a minority group ( Alvaro et al, 2015;da Costa Silva, Torres, Alvaro, Garrido, & Linhares, 2018). Nevertheless, the present research adds another psychosocial factor: the dehumanization of the transgressor.…”

This study analyzed the relationship between terrorist threat and discrimination, operationalized by support for retributive justice against Islamic groups suspect of terrorist crimes. Two experimental studies were performed. Study 1 (N = 215) showed that the terrorist threat against the ingroup raises the support for the retributive procedures through the dehumanization of the outgroup. Study 2 (N = 304) analyzed how the mediating role of dehumanization in the relationship between terrorist threat and support for retributive justice is moderated by right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA). In addition, the study aimed to verify if the dehumanization of outgroup and RWA could explain the relationship between terrorist threat and discrimination of Muslim immigrants. The results indicated that adherence to RWA favors dehumanization of the outgroup and, consecutively, the discrimination, operationalized as support for the use of retributive justice. The adherence to RWA has been identified as the mechanism that explains the discrimination against Muslim immigrants.

“…However, just as occurs in other contexts (Álvaro et al, 2015;Batista et al, 2014;Camino et al, 2013;Camino et al, 2001;Fernandes, Almeida, & Nascimento, 2008;Gonzaga, 2014), in soccer sometimes expressions of prejudice are not seen as such, but as a circumstantial product resulting from the heat of emotions. Insults, in this context, even containing overt racial prejudice, would be perceived simply as a "normal" verbal attack, since it would be acceptable to use any strategy to trash the opposing team (Bartel, 2014;Giglio et al, 2014).…”

Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar em que medida o preconceito racial no futebol medeia a relação entre o uso de agressões verbais e a concordância com posicionamentos que negam a existência do preconceito racial no futebol. Participaram desta pesquisa 295 estudantes universitários da Paraíba, com idades entre 15 e 61 anos (M = 21, DP = 6,01) sendo 109 do sexo masculino e 185 do sexo feminino. Os resultados indicaram que a variável “preconceito racial” mediou totalmente a relação entre a agressão verbal e a concordância com as ações judiciais. Assim, as agressões verbais não seriam apenas manifestações de atitudes negativas direcionadas ao time rival, mas ao estarem associadas, de maneira significativa, com o preconceito, convertem-se em uma poderosa forma de legitimação do preconceito racial ao negar sua existência.

“…Diversas pesquisas têm buscado evidenciar os diversos contextos nos quais o preconceito racial e a discriminação contra os negros se manifestam (Álvaro et al, 2015;Batista et al, 2014;Camino, Álvaro, Torres, Garrido, Morais, & Barbosa, 2013;Camino, Gouveia, Maia, Paz, & Santos, 2013). Em conjunto, essas pesquisas demonstram que, embora as normas antidiscriminatórias coíbam expressões abertas do preconceito racial observa-se que elas não são suficientes para impedirem suas manifestações.…”

ResumoNeste trabalho objetivou-se analisar os repertórios interpretativos utilizados pelas pessoas para se posicionarem diante de situações de preconceito racial no futebol. Participaram 295 universitários, com idade média de 21 anos, sendo 37,1% do sexo masculino e 62,9% do sexo feminino. Utilizou-se um questionário com uma história fictícia na qual um torcedor de um time de futebol xingava um jogador do time adversário com termos depreciativos relacionados à sua cor. Em seguida, perguntava-se se isso seria uma demonstração de preconceito e pedia-se para que a resposta fosse justificada. A análise lexical das justificativas mostrou que, das cinco classes encontradas, quatro apresentam a ideia de que o preconceito existe e apenas uma nega sua existência. Esses resultados são discutidos enfatizando o fato que o contexto do futebol se apresenta como um cenário propício para investigar expressões flagrantes de preconceito racial porque existe a justificativa plausível da competição. Palavras-chave: preconceito racial no futebol; análise léxica; discriminação racial. AbstractInterpretative repertoires about racial prejudice in football Racial prejudice in football. The aim of this study was to analyze the interpretative repertoires that people use to position themselves for or against in relation to racial prejudice situations in football. 295 college students took part in this research, with a mean of 21 years old; 37.1% were male and 62.9% female. A questionnaire in which participants responded to questions about a fictitious situation in which a supporter insulted a player of the rival team because of the color of his skin was used. Immediately after respondents were asked to justify whether the situation presented could be considered as an example of racial prejudice. The lexical analysis performed showed that, out of the five classes found, four of them presented the idea that prejudice exists and only one denies its existence. These results are discussed stressing the fact that the context of football represents an excellent setting to research situations of flagrant racial prejudice since the competition acts as plausible justification. Keywords: racial prejudice in football; lexical analysis; racial discrimination. ResumenRepertorios interpretativos acerca del prejuicio racial en el fútbol Prejuicio racial en el fútbol.
