5138.64 Irrational beliefs as a source of prejudice towards stigmatized groups, Dambrun Michel,
UFR de Psychologie, France
In previous theory and research dealing with prejudice, the role of belief in an irrational
determinism of human personality and behavior has been relatively overlooked. Two studies
(N=371) tested the impact of belief in astrology on prejudice toward significant stigmatized
groups in France (i.e. Arabs, women, overweight people). Results of the first study reveal that
belief in astrology is a significant predictor of prejudice toward stigmatized groups. In addition,
results of the second study suggest that attribution of ethnic outgroups disadvantages to internal
causes mediates the effect of belief in astrology on ethnic prejudice. Implications of these results
are discussed.
