Abstract
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.
