Attachment style and racial-ethnic prejudice: the perception of immigrants in a group of young adults

The study examines the predictor variables to the latent and manifest prejudice, and relationship between attachment style and prejudice. The research involves 100 Italian college students. They completed: Relationship Questionnaire and Latent Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale. We are hypothesized: a) that, as regards the prejudice, there is a significant difference owing to gender and age variables; b) the presence of a correlation between attachment with both latent and blatant prejudice; c) that psychological factors of prejudice are assumed to operate in a similar way and regardless of the target groups. The analyzes of the data support the second and the third hypothesis search.
