The Roma—an ethnic minority group in Europe—continues to face high levels of discrimination. This research explores how the quality of contact between Roma and non‐Roma is associated with collective action participation for Roma rights in Spain. It examines non‐Roma as potential allies (Study 1; N = 239) and Roma (Study 2; N = 259), while consideri...
Social inequalities between migrants and the host society trigger collective actions that aim to reduce such inequalities. Such actions can be led by migrants themselves, or by advantaged members from the host society who act as allies. In three studies conducted in Spain (N Study 1 = 182 low vulnerability migrants; N Study 2 = 160 forced migrants...
Research has investigated conditions which lead to minority members’ wanting to maintain their culture of origin, and to them wanting to adopt the majority culture. Majority members’ ideas for what minority members should do have also received attention. However, past research has developed a blindspot for some important questions: majority and min...
One of the difficulties in social research has been to disentangle the effects of race/ethnicity from social class. In two experimental studies with samples of both students and general population (total N = 416), we analyzed the effect of social class, ethnicity and their interaction on prejudice and discrimination using experimental methods. Soci...
Social psychology’s search for ways to address intergroup inequality has grappled with two approaches that have been considered incompatible: (a) the prejudice reduction approach, that argues that changing individual negative attitudes will undermine the basis for discrimination and lead to intergroup harmony; and (b) the collective action approach...

En este capítulo, trataremos los procesos de aculturación que experimentan las personas y grupos como resultado de su contacto con personas y grupos de culturas diferentes, así como su relación con distintas variables clave en el estudio de las relaciones
intergrupales, como el prejuicio.
La investigación sobre el proceso de aculturación puede co...
Uno de los principales retos sociales actuales es la gestión de la diversidad cultural y la integración basada en la igualdad de las poblaciones migrantes o minoritarias en los países de acogida o entre los miembros del grupo mayoritario. La perspectiva multicultural puede tener un importante rol en el afrontamiento de estos retos. Esta perspectiva...
Although the relationship between stereotypes and acculturation preferences has been previously studied from the majority perspective among adults, the perspective of adolescents and minority groups is understudied. This research analyzed the contribution of four stereotype dimensions (i.e., morality, immorality, sociability, and competence) to the...
La islamofobia es una de las actuales protagonistas sociopolíticas en Europa, dificultando la integración de migrantes y musulmanes. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar si las representaciones prejuiciosas (tropos) y la atribución de culpa colectiva a los/as musulmanes/as predicen el apoyo a medidas políticas anti-islamistas y a acciones...
National and European policies aim to facilitate the integration of Roma people into mainstream society. Yet, Europe’s largest ethnic group continues to be severely discriminated. Although prejudice has been identified to be at the core of this failure, social psychological research on anti-Gypsyism remains scarce. We conducted a study in six count...
Islamophobia is one of the current socio-political protagonist in Europe, hindering the integration of migrants and Muslims. The objective of this research is to analyze whether an innovative measure of prejudiced social representations (tropes) and the attribution of collective guilt to Muslims predict the support for anti-Islamist political measu...
Hostility towards outgroups contributes to costly intergroup conflict. Here we test an intervention to reduce hostility towards Muslims, a frequently targeted outgroup. Our ‘collective blame hypocrisy’ intervention highlights the hypocrisy involved in the tendency for people to collectively blame outgroup but not ingroup members for blameworthy act...
Project-based learning is an approach constructed on the tangible outcome that students produce in small and collaborative groups. The method is a student-centered learning based on constructivism principles that allow the real-world appliance beyond the classroom. Moreover, it is focused on thedevelopment of creativity, independence and self-respo...
The multicultural perspective is an ideological orientation that values the recognition and inclusion of diverse ethnic and cultural groups as sources of identity and culture that are favorable to society, because they promote positive intergroup relations and social equality. However, there are conditions that moderate the constructive effects suc...
The aim of this research was to adapt and validate the Concern with Acting Prejudiced (CAP) scale for a Spanish sample. This measure evaluates concern about appearing prejudiced to others or oneself and the motivation not to deviate from personal egalitarian standards. First, we completed the translation and an item content validity analysis. Then,...
The Gypsy population is one of the groups that are most discriminated against in Spain. In this research, we studied the impact of the visit to the exhibition Vidas Gitanas (Gypsy Lives) on undergraduate students’ prejudice towards Gypsies. This exhibition was organized with the aim of providing a realistic vision of this population and its culture...
