A
Study of Prejudice in Hindu and Muslim College Students
M.K. Hassan & A. Khalique |
The
study was conducted on 160 Hindu and 160 Muslim College students
to test the generality of prejudice and examine the relationship
of prejudice with certain sociological and personality factors. Prejudice
was found to be a generalised form of attitude, as there was significant
positive correlation among religious, caste and sex prejudice. Of
the sociological factors (religious affiliation, caste-status and
place of residence) only religious affiliation was found to be associated
with prejudice. Muslims tended to have higher prejudice than that
of Hindus. Prejudice had very high positive correlations with anxiety,
authoritarianism and intolerance of ambiguity.
