In this paper, we examine children’s ethnic discrimination in access to sport. We conducted two field experiments to test whether Roma applicants get greater rejection rates when applying to sport clubs and whether this rate is higher in case Roma applicants have a lower-class background. Basketball, volleyball, and soccer coaches were contacted by...
The concept of microaggressions alerts us how majority group members' everyday behaviour can impact minorities negatively. Recently, some researchers have questioned the criteria for identifying microaggressions and rejected the concept's utility. We maintain that attending to minorities' everyday experiences is important and illustrate this throug...
The aim of our study is to assess the drivers of discriminatory behaviors of real-estate agents and private landlords toward prospective Roma tenants, relying on qualitative data from Hungary. Though there is a broad literature on the forms and frequency of discrimination, we know much less about the question of why people discriminate . Previous r...
Ethnic prejudice can lead to exclusion and hinder social integration. Prejudices are formed throughout socialization, and social norms inform individuals about the acceptability of prejudice against certain outgroups. Adolescence is a crucial period for the development of intergroup attitudes, and young people are especially prone to follow the nor...
Response instructions-inviting participants to respond from a certain perspective-can significantly influence the performance and construct validity of psychological measures. Stereotype Content Model (SCM) and then the BIAS map ("behaviors from intergroup affect and stereotypes") were originally developed as universal measures of shared cultural s...
The new requirements in terms of real-time services imposed by emerging multimedia applications are the essential motivation behind the design of reservation protocols. These protocols are often called setup protocols because they are used to build real-time channels associated with the subsequent data transmission. Setup protocols are today still...
In the present chapter the anti-Roma prejudice of the Hungarian adolescents is explored. Three components of the attitude are defined: affective, cognitive, and behavioural. In order to understand the magnitude of the prejudice against the Roma, social distance from four other outgroups are discussed and compared.
In this chapter the context of the present study is described, starting with an overview of the rich field of research on the intergroup attitudes of Hungarian adults since the political transition of 1989–1990. This is followed by a detailed description of the most relevant studies among adolescents. After identifying the shortcomings of the exist...
In the following chapter the methods of the present study will be overviewed. First, the stages of the development of the questionnaire are described. This is followed by the presentation of the general procedure of the data collection, including sampling and special events during the fieldwork. Finally, there is a short overview of the methods of...
In the previous chapters, micro-level intra- and interpersonal processes were described which are relevant for the crystallisation of individual attitudes. First, certain personality traits and values of the adolescents were identified, which proved to play a crucial role in the development of prejudices. Then, adolescents were placed in friendship...
In the following chapter the theoretical framework of the present study is set. The central topic of the present study, prejudice and specifically prejudice in adolescence, is first defined and conceptualised by identifying its three interrelated components. Then, through the comparison of the normative and descriptive approaches of prejudice resea...
The present chapter has two specific aims. First, it seeks to demonstrate that prejudice is a collective phenomenon, not only in the sense that it is directed towards others but also as an attitude that is shared by close friends. The second aim of this chapter is to show that in Hungary, the attitude towards the Roma is a relevant social factor st...
Luca Váradi aims to understand the formation of the Hungarian teenagers’ attitudes towards the Roma, as adolescence is a crucial period in identity development. Her objective is to determine to what extent the classical and more recent theories on the formation of prejudice can be applied in a context in which there is no public consensus of respec...
