An analysis of prejudice attitudes using a measurement of blasant prejudice

Abstract

In this research has been applied a Blatant prejudice questionary to measure this type ofprejudice in our social and cultural context. Specifically, the aíms of this study were both to know the Blatant prejudice índex to the Maghribian immigrants and to analyse the factor structure ofthe questionary and the correlation matrix among the different scales. The sample included 142 subjects. Results show that the 14,6% ofthe sample presents lightly racist altitudes, or at least an attitude not really favourable to the immigrants integration. The factor structure is not coincident with the original study, but nevertheless the Ítems' distribution is more congruent. Finally, the correlation matrix indicates high and signifícant correlation indexes, although the different scales don't seem to provide redundant or superfluous information.
