Interregional migration and political resocialization: a study of racial attitudes under pressure

Article Abstract:

Racial attitudes of whites towards blacks were examined to determine if interregional migration can decisively cause attitudinal change as a response to the changing adult political environment. A significant positive change was found among southern whites who moved in the north, as far as racial policy attitudes were concerned. However, if the issue focused on a more fundamental prejudice, a large number of evidence were consistently dependent with the model of psychological stability and persistence.

Is subtle prejudice really prejudice?

Article Abstract:

The viability of the subtle prejudice concept was tested by conducting a cross-national survey in four European countries, namely, France, West Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. The study has considered the examination of the effects of the two forms of prejudice, subtle and blatant, the latter being the traditional type. Results reveal the distinct correlated constructs between subtle and blatant prejudice. However, no significant basis in ideological conservatism was found.

Executing Hortons: racial crime in the 1988 presidential campaign

Article Abstract:

George Bush's 1988 presidential campaign, 'Willie Horton,' was analyzed to demonstrate the impact of public opinion motivated by racial appeals on the issue of racial inequality. Findings reveal the mobilizing power of Horton appeal in generating racial prejudices. These suggest that racial campaigns can increase the level of prejudice, thereby creating critical consequences for public opinions on racial inequality.
